Beckhams Forge Close Friendship with Prince and Princess of Wales
Prince William has encouraged Kate Middleton to build a stronger connection with Victoria Beckham as the royal couple fosters alliances with influential figures amid mounting challenges for the monarchy.
The Beckhams, once close friends of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are reportedly growing closer to William and Kate following a fallout between the Sussexes and the celebrity couple. According to royal biographer Tom Bower, Meghan allegedly accused Victoria Beckham of leaking stories to the press, straining their relationship.
Now, David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly nurturing a deeper bond with the Prince and Princess of Wales. "David has been spending more time with William recently as they collaborate on projects," an insider told Heat Magazine. "While they were friendly before, their relationship has now blossomed into a true friendship."
The insider added that discussions about future get-togethers involving Kate and Victoria are already underway, with Victoria "thrilled" at the opportunity to grow closer to Kate, particularly after the strained relations with Meghan.
David’s loyalty to the royals has been evident through his ambassadorship with the King’s Foundation and his involvement in William’s Earthshot Prize Awards. A lifelong supporter of the monarchy, David also attended both William’s and Harry’s royal weddings.
As the Prince and Princess of Wales face scrutiny over financial allegations against the Duchy of Cornwall and their environmental commitments, this growing friendship with the Beckhams signals a strategic effort to bolster support.
In response to recent accusations made in the documentary The King, the Prince & Their Secret Millions, palace officials have remained silent, but a spokesperson for the Duchy previously stated that William, since becoming Duke of Cornwall in 2022, is focused on "an expansive transformation" of the estate.
Through their strengthened ties with the Beckhams, William and Kate are working to solidify their influence and reinforce public confidence amid the challenges facing the royal family.
