Victoria Beckham and Meghan Markle Are Ready to End ‘Grudge’ but David Beckham’s Not: ‘No Going Back’
Meghan Markle’s ready to end a “grudge” but not the one with the royal family. Rather, she—and Victoria Beckham—are prepared to “mend things” between them and their respective husbands, Prince Harry and David Beckham. The only thing standing in the way of that? David, who doesn’t want to start over with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Talk of friction between David and Victoria and the royal couple started in 2018. It was reported at the time that the former Spice Girl gave Meghan the names of her favorite stylists, spas, and hairdressers in the London, England, area.
When tabloids ran stories about Victoria helping, the actor-turned-duchess reportedly thought Victoria had leaked information to the press. Meghan had Harry call David, who became “furious” about the accusations.
The tension continued when Harry, as author Tom Bower wrote in Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors, asked David to fly to Australia for the Invictus Games. Harry, the author claimed, had no intention of meeting David there. Instead, he decided to steer clear of the soccer star because Meghan didn’t want them to have any “competition” in the media.
These days, the couples are believed not to be on speaking terms. The last time they were seen publicly was in May 2018 when David and Victoria were guests at Harry and Meghan’s royal wedding.
Victoria’s ‘not opposed’ to ending the Harry and Meghan ‘grudge’
Speaking to In Touch, an insider claimed Victoria is “not opposed” to ending the “grudge” after having years to soften on what happened.
“Victoria has actually been much more forgiving than people realize. She was really hurt by the accusations that she was spreading gossip since that’s the last thing she would ever do,” the source said. “But with time she’s mellowed about the whole [situation], especially since Meghan has been reaching out to mend things.”
