Meghan Markle 'Ruined' Prince Harry's Friendship With David Beckham, Accused Victoria Beckham Of 'Indiscretion'

Bower not only claimed Markle essentially ruined Harry and David’s friendship, but the writer also alleged the incident was a result of the royal couple’s “addiction” to reading the negative press coverage that constantly surrounded them.

"Harry and Meghan were shackled,” Bower wrote in the bombshell new book. “Every night they scoured the internet to read the newspaper reports and the trolls’ postings on social media.”

"Irrationally, they grouped the two together and fed each other’s frenzy about the media,” he continued. “Convinced that as champions of goodness they were being persecuted by mendacity and racism, they felt victimised by the mildest criticism.”

Markle and Harry’s obsession with the negative press about them ultimately took a turn for the worse when Markle suspected David’s wife, Victoria, of “indiscretion.” According to Bower, Markle believe Victoria was the one leaking private information about her and Harry to the press.

"Harry’s instability fed Meghan’s fears that friends were leaking stories to the media. In particular, she suspected Victoria Beckham of indiscretion,” Bower further claimed.

"Harry called David Beckham to repeat the accusation. Outraged, Beckham’s truthful denials damaged their relationship."

According to a mutual friend of both Harry and David’s, the incident made things “awkward” between the two despite the pair both agreeing to “move on.”

“He quickly put Harry right, and the two men agreed to move on,” the insider revealed in 2020, “but it certainly made things awkward for a while.”
