Meghan Markle has moved on from her close friendship with Victoria Beckham after accusing her and David of leaking stories to the press.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly had a huge falling out with David and Victoria Beckham, which left the couple ‘bloody furious’.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were reportedly suspicious that the Beckham’s were leaking stories to the press about their lives, and cut them off. David, 47, and Victoria, 49, were both in attendance at the Sussexes wedding in 2018 but rumours about the friendship circulated after Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, were absent from Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding to Nicola Peltz last year.
Despite the falling out between the two couples, Meghan has seemingly moved on and formed a close friendship with her neighbour in Montecito. Meghan has grown close to businesswoman Victoria Jackson in recent months, moving away from her fallen friendship with the Beckhams.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Victoria is a dynamic force. She’s someone who built a business but has also overcome adversity in her private life. She and Meghan bond on many levels. They are extremely close, they adore each other.”
“Victoria knows all about building a brand but also about giving back,” the source said. “She’s advising Meghan on many levels.”

David was left ‘absolutely bloody furious’ after being accused of leaking stories to the press, leaving any chance of salvaging their friendship unlikely. A source close to the Beckham’s told the publication: “David and Victoria went to Meghan and Harry’s wedding and were very supportive when Meghan arrived in the UK.”
The source added: “Any making up now is so unlikely.”

The couples reportedly bonded over the fact David’s communications director, Izzy May, was close with Markus Anderson – the chief membership officer for Soho House – where he helped arrange dates between the Sussexes.
In his new book, royal autobiographer Tom Bower has claimed that Meghan and Harry were “addicted” to reading negative press coverage on themselves, and spent hours online looking for any unwanted attention.
The pair were said to be worried that their closest friends were leaking stories about their lives, and were keen to find out who could be sharing their private stories.
He also alleges that Meghan suspected Victoria Beckham in particular – so Harry called her husband, David, to discuss these accusations. The Beckham’s were allegedly left “outraged”, leaving their relationship with the Sussex’s in tatters.
