Celebrity author Tom Bower claims in his new book that the former Spice Girl didn’t make many sales after the Duchess of Sussex wore her designs.
In the newly released House of Beckham, Tom claims: “Victoria agreed to provide a coat, dress, boots and a handbag worth £6,000 to Meghan for the Royal Family’s traditional Christmas Day parade in Sandringham.
“Later, Meghan wore a Beckham custom-made pregnancy outfit and a white coat and dress for a service in Westminster Abbey.
“Victoria’s style also attracted Melania Trump. She wore a Victoria Beckham dress during the president’s official visit to London.”
Despite the two famous women wearing her designs, it didn’t translate to many sales for Victoria’s label.
Tom added: “The financial benefit was nil.”
The biographer claims that there was one item that Meghan wore from Victoria’s label which did prove to be a success.
He continued: “The only success in 2019 was a £1,400 handbag that had been displayed by Meghan.”
However, Tom theorised that sales had been “prompted” by “Victoria’s Instagram video”, instead of Prince Harry’s wife.
The explosive biography also featured the rumoured rift between the Beckhams and the Sussexes, which is said to have developed in recent years.
Tom claimed Meghan was “irritated” that Victoria had “considerably more wealth” than her.
The book alleged Meghan “put on airs” around Victoria when they first met, due to her status within the royal family and also as the Californian actress felt she had “little in common” with the former Spice Girl.
The biography claims: “In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame.
“As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself that her status in the Royal family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order.
“She was irritated to discover that the Beckhams had considerably more wealth than herself.
The Beckhams did secure an invite to Harry and Meghan’s 2018 royal wedding, however Tom claims that in a bid to “punish” the Beckhams, they were not invited to the wedding dinner, despite welcoming other big names like George Clooney, who Meghan did not know personally.
David was also “snubbed” by Harry after flying for 22 hours from London to Sydney at the royal’s request, for the 2018 Invictus Games.
Cracks allegedly first started emerging in the pair’s friendship in spring 2022 when the former footballer invited Prince William and Kate to his son Brooklyn’s wedding – and not Harry and Meghan.
