The frosty relationship between Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham has been the subject of much speculation, especially with Meghan’s recent business setbacks, which some see as Victoria's ultimate payback.
Once, the Sussexes and the Beckhams were inseparable, embodying glamour and sophistication. They frequently attended upscale events together, laughing and mingling like old friends. However, something changed, and whispers of discord began. Smiles became strained, and tension filled the air. What could have possibly gone wrong?
Rumor has it that Prince Harry accused Victoria of being a royal gossip, which led to Meghan feeling jealous and, as some say, sabotaging herself. This left David Beckham fuming, and the once tight-knit friendship began to unravel faster than Meghan's Hollywood dreams. Harry and David, who were like brothers with David often playing the supportive role, saw their bond disintegrate. The pivotal moment was Harry's marriage to Meghan, after which friendships crumbled, alliances shifted, and drama ensued.
Meghan has been known for her extensive interactions with the media, often trading stories for PR attention. This has made her and Harry appear untrustworthy, even within their own families. Victoria, with her successful fashion empire and no-nonsense attitude, wasn’t about to take the blame quietly. She sought answers and attempted to confront Meghan. However, phone numbers were changed, and Harry started ignoring calls, leading to suspicions of deliberate avoidance.
Victoria then tried to reach out through the Sussexes' office but received no response, adding insult to injury. The fallout from this royal rift was monumental. Feeling hurt and betrayed, Victoria decided to cut off Meghan from her fashion freebies, a move that undoubtedly stung. Despite this, Victoria is still eager for a confrontation, but Meghan seems determined to avoid it.
Recently, Meghan has embarked on a new venture, American Riviera Orchard. However, experts predict it will struggle in the saturated market. Denise Palad Davies, director at Born Media, expressed skepticism, suggesting that Victoria might secretly relish a potential failure as the ultimate revenge.
Meanwhile, the Beckhams' documentary series became Netflix's most-watched in 2023, contrasting sharply with the performance of Harry and Meghan's show, which flopped. Viewers criticized the Sussexes, calling them whiny and accusing Meghan of mocking her first curtsy to the late Queen Elizabeth. In stark contrast, the Beckhams were praised for their honesty, and their family scenes continue to resonate on social media.
The ongoing drama between these high-profile couples provides endless fascination and a stark lesson in the complexities of maintaining friendships in the spotlight.
