The Beckhams' "stateside takeover" angers Meghan Markle
Rumors of a rift between the Beckhams and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been circulating, and a recent move may have further soured relations. Victoria and David Beckham were pictured with former US president Barack Obama at a charitable event, which reportedly left Meghan feeling "seething" and "humiliated." According to an insider, Meghan saw the Beckhams' involvement with the Obama Foundation as a direct threat to her own political ambitions.
Cracks in the friendship between David and Prince Harry
Prince Harry and David Beckham have enjoyed a close friendship over the years, but recently, cracks have formed. The Duke of Sussex allegedly called David to accuse him and Victoria of leaking stories, which left David furious. Additionally, David was "snubbed" by Harry after flying for 22 hours from London to Sydney at the royal's request for the 2018 Invictus Games. The strain in their relationship became evident when David invited Prince William and Kate to his son's wedding but not Harry and Meghan.
Meghan's apparent distancing from Victoria's designs
After the apparent snub, Meghan stopped wearing Victoria Beckham's designs, while Kate wore them more frequently. However, recently Meghan has reintroduced Victoria Beckham items into her wardrobe, suggesting a potential shift in her fashion choices.
Beckhams' distancing strengthens David's friendship with Prince William
As the Beckhams appear to distance themselves from the Sussexes, a royal expert believes this move has strengthened David's friendship with Prince William and the King. Sarah Hewson, a royal editor, suggests that David's clear support aligns him with the royal family.
Meghan's political ambitions and Obama's step back
It has been claimed that Meghan has political ambitions, and she paid nearly £90,000 to Michelle Obama's ex-press chief for "strategic support for social impact PR." However, it is thought that Barack and Michelle wanted to take a "step back" from the couple out of respect for the Queen.
Michelle Obama's response to Harry and Meghan's interview
When asked about Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah, Michelle Obama expressed the hope for forgiveness, clarity, love, and resolve within the family. She emphasized the importance of family bonds.
