Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham once shared a close friendship, which saw the fashion designer gift £6,000 worth of designer clothes to the Duchess of Sussex but it had surprising reaction that got fans talking…Full story

Victoria Beckham once gifted Meghan Markle £6,000 worth of clothes from her brand, but the move failed to have any benefit for the fashion designer.

Victoria and David Beckham were friends with Meghan and Prince Harry, with the former Spice Girls star giving the Duchess of Sussex outfits to wear for her Christmas Day appearance with the Royal Family. She also gave Meghan a custom-designed outfit when she was pregnant.

However, royal author Tom Bower has said the gifts didn’t make great publicity for Victoria’s fashion brand. In his new book House of Beckham, Bower wrote: “Victoria agreed to provide a coat, dress, boots and a handbag worth £6,000 to Meghan for the Royal Family’s

“Later, Meghan wore a Beckham custom-made pregnancy outfit and a white coat and dress for a service in Westminster Abbey.” He continued: “The financial benefit was nil. The only success in 2019 was a £1,400 handbag that had been displayed by Meghan.”

Meghan and Harry’s relationship with the Beckhams worsened over the years, with Bower claiming Meghan became “irritated” when she found out Victoria is richer than she is. His new book claimed she was annoyed when she found out the Beckhams had “considerably more wealth” than herself.

Cracks started to show in the relationship between the famous families in 2018, according to Bower. While David and Victoria received an invite to Meghan and Harry’s wedding that year, they were not invited to the wedding dinner.
