This marks the second time the singer-turned-fashion designer and the football icon will renew their vows, with the first ceremony taking place in 2006 amid rumors of David's alleged affairs. An insider shared that while the couple loves the idea of renewing their vows, they dread the memory of their matching purple outfits and thrones from the previous ceremony. Victoria jokingly remarked that they need to rectify that.
The source revealed that the first vow renewal was intimate, but this time around, the Beckhams envision a much grander affair, possibly on a beach. Despite the challenges faced in the past year, Victoria believes that 2024 could be their biggest year yet, thanks to the positive reception of their Netflix documentary. The Beckhams, once openly mocked, are now seen as an example to look up to in terms of marriage and family.
Family members and friends from the entertainment and design world have received invitations to the grand celebration. However, notably absent from the guest list are Prince Harry and Meghan. The decision to exclude the royal couple doesn't come as a surprise, given the rumored strain in their friendship. Speculation about a rift between the Beckhams and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry has been circulating, and recent events might have further strained relations.
A notable incident involves the Beckhams being pictured with former US President Barack Obama at a charitable event, leaving Megan less than thrilled. An insider revealed that seeing the Beckhams associated with the Obama Foundation has irked Meghan, considering the Obamas were perceived as her ticket to political success. The source claimed that Megan feels the Beckhams have taken over what she had envisioned as her political plan, viewing it as a personal affront.
Cracks in the friendship between Prince Harry and David Beckham have also surfaced, with Harry allegedly accusing David and Victoria of leaking stories. David was snubbed by Harry after making a 22-hour journey from London to Sydney at the Royals' request for the 2018 Invictus Games. The first signs of strain appeared when David invited Prince William and Princess Katherine to his son Brooklyn's wedding, excluding Harry and Meghan. At the time, a source emphasized that the Beckhams' choice of wedding guests was about their longstanding connection with William and Kate, not a reflection of any tension with Harry and Meghan.
