Prince Harry’s memoir Spare dropped several bombshells, but they seem almost tame compared to what royal author Tom Bower’s new book reveals about Meghan Markle‘s relationship with the Beckhams.

The book, titled Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, delves into every aspect of the Sussexes’ life. The author interviewed numerous insiders and sources close to the royals, offering a fascinating insight into Meghan and Harry’s connections, including Meghan’s somewhat one-sided view of social rankings.

Bower Uncovers Meghan’s Views on Social Hierarchy

The revelation is that Meghan Markle reportedly believed she was “higher in social ranking” than Victoria Beckham. In the early days of her royal journey, Meghan seemingly considered her new title as an automatic boost in her celebrity status.

According to Bower, In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame. As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself that her status in the royal family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order. However, the reality starkly contrasted her expectations.
Meghan was reportedly shocked and irritated upon discovering that the Beckhams possessed considerably more wealth and influence. Victoria and David Beckham owned five homes, had constant access to private jets, and invitations to sail on yachts, among many other luxuries. This realization proved to be quite an annoyance for Meghan.

The Beckhams’ Effort to Extend Friendship

Despite Meghan’s perceived higher status, the Beckhams extended their friendship. Victoria even had a member of her staff offer advice on London’s top beauty services once Meghan became a resident at Kensington Palace. It seems that the Beckhams were keen to build a bond partly due to their closeness with Prince William and Prince Harry.

Taking Advantage or Missing Out on Mutual Benefit?

Bower also revealed that Victoria provided Meghan with several outfits and accessories for notable royal events. From a coat worth £6,000 for Christmas Day at Sandringham to custom-made dresses for Westminster Abbey services—Victoria definitely contributed generously. However, this generosity didn’t translate into financial benefit for Victoria Beckham’s brand. The only success in 2019 was a £1,400 handbag displayed by Meghan, wrote Bower.

Did Meghan Overstep Boundaries?

The relationship dynamic went further when Bower claimed Meghan took advantage of staying at the Beckhams’ Beverly Hills residence during a private trip to Los Angeles to avoid paparazzi. All her needs were catered for by the Beckhams’ staff at no cost to her. If there was any feeling that Meghan took advantage of this arrangement, it seems the Beckhams chose to look past it.

This insight into the supposed intricacies of Meghan Markle and The House of Beckham‘s connection is indeed fascinating amidst ongoing discussions about social status within celebrity circles.

With Prince Harry’s memoirs still fresh in public consciousness and Tom Bower’s deep dive into royal relationships making waves, perspectives on celebrity dynamics continue to evolve.
