Palace interferes in Meghan Markle, Victoria Beckham’s negotiation before ‘snub’
Meghan Markle reportedly sought “free handbags from Victoria Beckham before snubbing her,” as detailed in Tom Bower’s new book, The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power.
The biography sheds light on the relationship between the Sussexes and the Beckhams, revealing tensions that arose. Bower, a former journalist, suggests that Meghan admired Victoria Beckham but encountered obstacles when she allegedly asked for complimentary clothes and handbags, a request purportedly vetoed by the Palace due to protocol.
The book further claims Meghan was “irritated” upon learning that Victoria Beckham was wealthier than her.
According to Bower, cracks in their relationship emerged in 2018 despite the Beckhams attending Harry and Meghan’s wedding, they were excluded from the wedding dinner. The rift deepened when the Sussexes were omitted from Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding guest list last spring, while Prince William and Kate Middleton were invited.
