An explosive new biography about the Beckhams, titled The House of Beckham, has shed light on Meghan Markle’s feelings toward the famous couple. According to the celebrity biographer Tom Bower, Meghan was “irritated” to discover that the Beckhams had considerably more wealth than herself1. The former Spice Girl and her footballer husband owned five homes, had constant access to private jets, invitations to sail on yachts, and significantly more money.
“In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame,” the biography claimed. “As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself that her status in the Royal family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order.”
The book added, “She was irritated to discover that the Beckhams had considerably more wealth than herself. They owned five homes, had constant access to private jets, invitations to sail on yachts and much more money. And she was soon to be a duchess.”
Meghan, as a Californian, felt little in common with Victoria Beckham and believed her status within the Royal family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order. However, despite this perceived hierarchy, the Beckhams reportedly made an effort with Meghan, especially due to their long-standing friendship with Prince Harry and William. The Beckhams were among the famous faces at Harry and Meghan’s 2018 wedding.
Interestingly, Meghan’s friendship with Victoria Beckham has faced recent challenges. Sources claim that Victoria has “ghosted” Meghan, leaving their once-close relationship “broken beyond repair.” Meghan’s attempts to keep the friendship alive were met with unexpected coldness, and it seems that even her status as a duchess couldn’t mend the rift. The Beckhams may have disapproved of how Meghan and Harry behaved over the last few months, leading to strained relations.
As Meghan navigates evolving social dynamics post-exit from official royal duties, her strained relationship with Posh serves as a key example of the broader challenges she and Prince Harry face. For now, the chance of rekindling this high-profile friendship appears slim.
