According to a recent source, there has been an attempt by Meghan Markle to win back the Beckhams, as she believes having their support is crucial for her Hollywood takeover. After facing several setbacks last year, the Sussex brand seems to be making a comeback. Not only are Harry and Meghan expanding their portfolio with Netflix, but Meghan has also launched her own lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard. The brand kicked off with Meghan sending jars of strawberry jam to influencers across the United States. However, one piece of advice Harry and Meghan have received is the need for more high-profile celebrities on their side. Sources claim that former Sussex allies, David and Victoria Beckham, are at the top of their list.
Following the infamous severing of ties between the couples, an insider close to the Sussexes revealed that Meghan is desperate to repair the relationship. Her new PR team has advised her to cultivate friendships with prominent British celebrities. However, there aren't many who seem interested in her, especially not on the level of the Beckhams. Victoria has a multinational brand that Meghan aspires to have, so gaining her advice and guidance would be invaluable. If Meghan can mend things with the Beckhams, she intends to offer something in return. Currently, Meghan doesn't have the same social media presence as Victoria, but she plans to invest heavily in marketing to increase her numbers. She hopes to provide Victoria with excellent cross-brand promotional opportunities.
However, an insider mentioned that David Beckham harbors a desire for a royal honor. He showed his loyalty by waiting in line for hours at the Queen's funeral. He has no intention of reconnecting with Harry, who he sees as a social climber, not to mention Harry's former toxic wife. Celebrity feud followers will recall the rupture in the Beckham-Sussex alliance a few years ago. Despite their close friendship and being prominent guests at Harry and Meghan's wedding in 2018, reports suggest that the Beckhams were taken aback when Meghan allegedly accused Victoria of selling stories about them. This accusation deeply angered David, considering his long-standing friendship with Prince Harry and his role as an ambassador for Harry's Invictus Games.
Victoria Beckham is done with Meghan. During the time Frogmore Cottage was being renovated, there was much talk about Meghan using the Beckhams' interior designer. They also hired the Beckhams' former house manager, although it's unclear if it was before or after the rift. It seemed to some that Meghan was fixated on copying Victoria, especially after Harry's book was released, with all the revelations and disclosures. The Beckhams, being astute individuals, saw through Harry and Meghan's schemes. They know who they truly are and have no intention of inviting the grifters back into their lives.
If Meghan wants to apologize or make amends, it appears that even she realizes the writing is on the wall. She has no other paths to fame and fortune if her latest venture fails. Unless she can regain some of the goodwill associated with the Royals, her plan to compete with high-profile celebrities and their brands won't go far. These celebrities won't want to associate themselves with her production unless her global empire is performing better than they are.
