It seems that Meghan Markle's latest attempt to break into the branding world has hit yet another embarrassing snag, and this time it’s Victoria Beckham who’s left her humiliated. Meghan, eager to establish herself as a powerhouse in the luxury market, was reportedly turned away from a major deal due to a branding misstep.
The story begins with Meghan desperately trying to position herself as the perfect fit for a high-end brand. She's been on a relentless journey to become the next big name in the American influencer scene, but her overambitious plans have crumbled once again. This time, it wasn't just a marketing flop; it was a direct blow from the Beckhams.
Victoria and David Beckham, who recently won an Emmy for their successful docuseries, have been the talk of the town, while Meghan continues to struggle. As the Beckhams effortlessly secure deals, awards, and respect, Meghan seems to be falling further behind.
According to Neil Sha, Meghan had her sights set on a deal with a major brand, rumored to be Whole Foods. She believed her influence would be enough to seal the deal, thinking her calligraphy skills and signature branding style would charm everyone into signing on. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. The deal didn't go as planned, and sources claim it was Victoria Beckham's influence that shut it down.
In true Markle fashion, Meghan's efforts fell flat, and the company decided to go with a different celebrity: none other than Brooklyn Beckham. Brooklyn, who’s been making a name for himself in the plant-based food industry, is now reportedly the face of a Whole Foods campaign— a role that Meghan had her eyes on.
To add salt to the wound, this plant-based deal aligns perfectly with Meghan’s usual eco-friendly rhetoric. Instead of gracing the shelves of Whole Foods, she was left watching as the younger, fresher Beckham took the spot she desperately wanted. Sources say that after seeing videos of Brooklyn and his culinary creations, the brand decided he was a better fit, as they were unimpressed by Meghan's offerings, which seemed out of touch with their vision.
Imagine the woman who thought she could manifest her way into A-list status now facing humiliation from a 24-year-old aspiring chef with a famous last name. Word has it that Meghan was still reeling from a fallout with the Beckhams. She and Harry had been close friends with Victoria and David until that friendship spectacularly imploded, fueled by rumors of betrayal and Meghan allegedly accusing the Beckhams of leaking stories about her to the press.
The fallout was messy, and it seems Victoria has been keeping Meghan at arm's length ever since. So, when Meghan tried to cozy up to a brand already courting the Beckhams, it was a recipe for disaster. It's no wonder Whole Foods decided to go with Brooklyn instead of Meghan. Who wants the baggage that comes with Meghan's drama?
In a classic Markle move, instead of gracefully bowing out, Meghan has reportedly been throwing a bit of a tantrum behind the scenes. Her dreams of becoming a global brand mogul seem to be slipping through her fingers. First, the Spotify deal crumbled, and now this— it looks like Meghan's marketing strategy is as shaky as ever. This latest rejection proves that Hollywood isn't buying whatever she’s selling.
Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham must be quietly reveling in the irony. Meghan, once desperate to be her friend, is now stuck watching as the Beckhams continue to soar while her own reputation flounders. It’s a humiliating turn of events for Meghan Markle, who, despite her best efforts, just can’t seem to break into the elite circles she so desperately craves.
