Meghan Markle might have loved Victoria Beckham’s makeup and fashion tips, but she definitely didn’t love how that very detail ended up in the press. According to celebrity biographer Tim Bower, Markle was livid when The Sun got wind of Victoria dispensing her beauty advice and pointed the finger at the fashion icon for spilling the beans.
“There’s no doubt that the original clash [started] when Victoria had given Meghan makeup advice, which was leaked,” Bower told news.com.au, adding that Markle had asked her husband to confront the Beckhams on her behalf. “And David got a call from Harry accusing either he or Victoria of leaking the story to promote Victoria, but then they discovered it was one of Victoria’s employees, and that undoubtedly caused anger.”
Bower also spilled in his book, “The House of Beckham,” that Markle might have been jealous over the Beckhams’ higher social and financial status. She was apparently irked that despite being part of the Royal Family, they were still more relevant than her in the eyes of the public. “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,” he penned (via The Independent). “She was irritated to discover that the Beckhams had considerably more wealth than herself.”
