Tom Bower, the author of the book Revenge, claims that Meghan accused Victoria of indiscretion, believing that she was leaking stories to the press. This led to an awkward phone call between Prince Harry and David Beckham, who denied the accusation.
Bower alleges that the Sussexes were addicted to negative press coverage, spending hours reading newspaper articles and social media posts.
Bower also writes that Harry's instability fueled Meghan's fears that their friends were leaking stories to the media. Convinced that they were being persecuted by mendacity and racism, the couple felt victimized by even the mildest criticism.
However, their grouping of Victoria Beckham with the negative press was irrational and only fueled each other's frenzy about the media.
This feud occurred shortly after Prince Harry's controversial interview with Olympian Chloe Kim. In the interview, Harry gave advice on mental health, which some people criticized him for because they believed he was not qualified to speak on the topic.
