Victoria Beckham made a grand entrance at a lavish 50th birthday celebration held at the exclusive Oswald's private members Club in London's Mayfair.
Despite a recent gym injury, Victoria stunned in a semi-sheer floor-length green gown, gracefully making her way in on crutches. The star-studded affair boasted a guest list of 100, including prominent figures like Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria, and Gordon Ramsay, alongside Victoria's family and former Spice Girls bandmates. This extravagant event was just one of several planned to commemorate Victoria's milestone birthday.
The festivities began with pre-drinks at the Beckhams' opulent £25 million mansion in Holland Park, West London, before the party moved to Oswald's. Notably absent from the guest list were Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, reportedly due to a rift between them and the Beckhams. Insider sources hinted that Meghan and Harry's penchant for turning events into Netflix content was a primary reason for their exclusion. According to speculation, their presence would likely involve an entourage of bodyguards, a film crew, and potential wiretapping, detracting from the celebration's focus.
The decision to omit Meghan and Harry from the guest list wasn't solely the Beckhams' preference; it resonated with many attendees, including Hollywood A-listers like Tom Cruise. The actor, known for his ties with the royal family, remains cautious about potential involvements with Meghan and Harry's media ventures. Despite their past friendship, Harry's fallout with the Beckhams over slanderous accusations further solidified the divide between the couples.
In the wake of this exclusion, attention turned to Meghan Markle's latest venture, the American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand. However, skepticism loomed over its success following her previous disappointments. Despite promotional efforts, including endorsements on social media, experts remained doubtful about the brand's prospects. With past projects garnering mixed reception at best, Meghan faces an uphill battle in reshaping her public image and securing lasting success.
