According to a recent biography that is selling quite well, Victoria Beckham preferred Kate Middleton over Meghan Markle long before the latter joined the royal family. The book reveals tensions between the fashion designer and the Duchess of Sussex.
According to the biographer, Victoria Beckham dressed Meghan Markle on several occasions without reaping the expected financial benefits. The first time, Meghan wore a complete outfit from the Victoria Beckham brand at the royal Christmas service in 2018, with a total value of 7,000 euros. Another occasion in 2019, while pregnant, also saw Meghan in a dress by the designer for a Commonwealth service.
Despite these appearances, sales of Victoria Beckham’s creations did not increase significantly. A journalist even reports that Meghan Markle was disdainful towards Victoria Beckham, considering her inferior due to her entry into royalty.
Revelations from a biographer indicate that Victoria Beckham was irritated by Meghan’s behavior, especially when the latter realized that the Beckhams were wealthier than she thought. The Beckhams, with their multiple residences and access to private jets, exceeded Meghan’s expectations regarding the social hierarchy based on wealth and fame.
In 2020, for one of her last public appearances before the Megxit, Meghan once again chose an outfit by Victoria Beckham, an iconic blue dress. However, this collaboration did not improve the relationship between the two women.
The tensions between the Sussexes and the Beckhams do not seem ready to ease, especially since Victoria and David Beckham have clearly shown their support for Kate and William. The rivalry between Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham is far from resolved, and relations remain tense.
