Meghan Markle’s First Fangirl Moment With Victoria Beckham Comes To Light

In 2012, David Beckham praised his connection with William, Prince of Wales, and Harry, Duke of Sussex. “It’s a very normal relationship,” David told Esquire (via Express). “They’re very easy to get along with.” Victoria Beckham and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex enjoyed a similar ease in the early days of their friendship. Using her connections, the former Spice Girl helped the duchess get into U.K. beauty hot spots. Meghan, in turn, showed her fandom of Victoria’s designs by wearing one of Victoria’s sweaters for her engagement photos, making the garment into a must-have item. 

The couples’ relationship had started to cool when Victoria and David declined to invite Harry and Meghan to their son Brooklyn’s 2022 wedding. Now the Beckhams have reportedly kicked the friendship to the curb over Harry’s allegations that they divulged info about the Sussexes to the media. Lizzie Cundy, Meghan’s former friend, is skeptical. “These are real big family people, there’s no way Victoria would’ve leaked stories,” she asserted to the Mirror. 

Victoria and Meghan also have different approaches to the media. “[Victoria’s] saavy, she has a sense of humor and uses it to her advantage,” a London-based PR explained to The Telegraph. “People like Meghan, who try to control the narrative and only present themselves in a perfect light, forget that the public warms to a humor and the ability to show a flaw.”
