It can be boldly stated that nothing lasts forever in show business—from careers to relationships or friendships. Indeed, Meghan Markle has a lot to say, especially on the latter. Prince Harry's beloved has been living in the spotlight for years, and her life's adventures are a favourite among industry portals. However, it must be admitted that the 42-year-old constantly has something going on.
At one time, the media extensively covered the exceptional closeness between Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham. According to reports from the time, Prince Harry and David Beckham were also said to have held a lot of affection for each other. Over time, the relationships between all four noticeably deteriorated. The media speculated that this happened right after the British prince's wedding to the American actress. New facts have just come to light that shed a new perspective.
The behind-the-scenes conflict between Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham
The two ladies did get along well initially, but the problem arose when "The Sun" published an article about their friendship. Reportedly, Meghan Markle did not like the media frenzy. Celebrity biographer Tom Bower said in an interview with "The Independent" that although Meghan initially blamed Victoria for the press leak, it was the beautician's fault. Still, the taste of discrepancies between the ladies remained.
Only after The Sun reported how Victoria had given Meghan make-up advice did the relationship between the two ambitious women crash, explained Bower, quoted by "The Independent".
Meghan Markle was reportedly jealous of Victoria Beckham's wealth
However, the cosmetic issues were not everything. It turns out that one of the reasons was also Harry's wife's jealousy over the Beckhams' financial status. According to Tom Bower, Meghan did not like that Victoria and David could boast an impressive fortune.
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, says the biographer.
