After Victoria Beckham becomes the latest celeb to turn her back on Meghan, insiders say the Duchess is feeling more isolated than ever
They’ve built themselves anew life in Hollywood hotspot Montecito and are accustomed to rubbing shoulders with the stars, but recently it seems that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s social circle has become smaller and smaller, and their once close A-list pals have distanced themselves from the couple.
While Meghan, 42, once counted the Clooneys and Oprah Winfrey as close pals, reports have claimed that many of their celebrity friendships have dwindled. And insiders tell Closer that the their relationship with world-famous couple David and Victoria Beckham is now non-existent, and that Meghan has been “ghosted” by Posh, 50, altogether.
The insider says, “Meghan’s been shocked by how Vic seems to have given her the cold shoulder – even reaching out herself when her team received no response when requesting a dress. “Meghan has been told that both Victoria and David may have disapproved of how she and Harry have behaved over the last few months and Meghan has noticed Vic pulling back, but never expected her to freeze her out like this. She feels personally ghosted by Victoria and feels that the relationship is now broken beyond repair.”
PERFECT FIT
As the wife of one of the world’s best footballers, a fashion powerhouse and apop star famed for championing “girl power”, Victoria was the perfect fit for the new BFF of Meghan when the former actress trail-blazed her way into the Royal Family when she wed Prince Harry in 2018. Wearing a cream jumper by Posh’s fashion label for the official photographs announcing her engagement to Harry, 39, in 2017, Meghan quickly became a fan of the brand.
And Victoria’s attendance, alongside her husband David Beckham at the royal couple’s wedding appeared to cement their blossoming friendship.
Likewise, Harry and David, 50, had been long-term pals, having attended several sporting events and being pictured publicly together since 2011.
But all of that changed in 2020 when reports claimed that during a phone call to David, Harry had accused Posh of leaking stories about Meghan to the newspapers – allegedly leaving the football ace “absolutely b***dy furious”.
And despite Meghan continuing to wear Victoria’s brand –even choosing her sunglasses during a hike in California during King Charles’ Coronation –the Beckhams appeared to make a not-sosubtle show of allegiance by inviting Prince William and Kate Middleton instead of Meghan and Harry to their son Brooklyn’s 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz.
