The Beckhams were invited to Harry and Meghan’s wedding, but were excluded from the wedding dinner.
Harry and David, who have been good friends for quite some time, were to meet in Australia after Harry asked from the former Manchester United star to be an ambassador for the Invictus Games, but the meeting failed as Harry refused to see David in Sydney because he wanted to keep his friends at arm’s length while in Australia.
The real reason for this failed meeting, however, according to royal biographer Tom Bower was that “[Meghan] wanted no competition in the media from David. It seemed she was not prepared to tolerate anything flattering regarding the Beckhams and the Games to appear in the media.”
What affected the relationship between the Sussexes and the Beckhams even further was David’s respect and appreciation of the Royal Family that Harry dragged through the mud ever since Megxit.
“David had always been an ardent royalist who would stand up for the Queen’s Speech every Christmas, dressed in his Sunday best. Years later, he queued for 12 hours to view the Queen’s coffin when her body was lying in state,” royal expert Richard Eden wrote in the Daily Mail.
“So it is, perhaps, no surprise that the Sussexes’ attacks on the Royal Family failed to impress the Beckhams.”
The expert added: “Both David and Victoria put great importance on family and would never, ever turn on their relations the way that Harry and Meghan did,’ one of their associates tells me. The truth is that Victoria never really liked Meghan much. She was friendly and welcoming to her but is not bothered about staying in touch.”
A couple of days ago, David met with Prince William at RAF Northolt to celebrate London Air Ambulance’s Up Against Time campaign. Shortly before, Prince Harry attended the WellChild Awards in the UK.
The photo of the two was shared in the media, which allegedly frustrated Meghan, who used to be close friends with David and his wife.
“Yes, I do think that this is something that will annoy Meghan Markle,” royal expert Kinsey Schofield said, per the Mirror.
“After two weeks of bad press since Prince Harry’s been gone. I just think that she’s probably livid right now, based on the reaction that she’s getting from all of these stories. She’s had to deal with that while Prince Harry’s been out of town.”
The royal expert added: “That’s gotta be incredibly hard for her. And then to see this kind of victory moment from Prince William. A victory moment that she would tell you it should have been Harry’s moment after the WellChild awards, that would be upsetting to her.”
