Three years ago, the Duchess of Sussex was rarely seen at an important event without a Victoria Beckham design on her back.
The lookalike twosome had forged what was considered to be one of the most powerful friendships in showbiz, gushing about one another at every opportunity, with the Beckhams even offering Meghan refuge at their Los Angeles home.

However, in a similar fashion to the demise of the royal Fab Four, the alliance wasn’t to last long.
After reports about Meghan and Victoria’s friendship started circulating in the press, paranoid Harry is rumoured to have confronted David in a tense phone call.
“The sad thing is they did everything they could to welcome Meghan into British society. Victoria gave Meghan whatever she wanted, from opening up her contacts book to giving her free clothes, despite her reluctance to do so.”
Royal biographer Tom Bower says things between the powerful couples came to a head during the Australian royal tour in 2018.

“She [Meghan, 42] wanted no competition in the media from David, and especially not Victoria,” Tom told The Sun, alleging that Meghan did not like David’s friendship with William.
“[The] atmosphere was miserable.” “That was the start of the end,” a source tells.
“The Beckhams were more than willing to overlook a slip or two, but since then it’s been a downhill slide. David also feels betrayed by Harry because he thought they were mates. He can’t believe how much he has changed.”

Grease legend John Travolta has apparently thrown the Sussexes a lifeline by having lunch with them at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel earlier this month, as sources confirm Meghan is “pinning all her hopes” on the 69-year-old star.
“They got on extremely well,” a source told The Sun, pointing out that as Princess Diana’s most famous dance partner, John agreed to meet the couple for “nostalgic” reasons.

“There’s enormous pressure on the A-list Scientologists to recruit, and bringing the Sussexes into the fold would be a huge coup.”
All we know is the alliance is over as the Beckhams shun the Sussexes for good.
