The biographer’s book, Beckham Housefocuses on Victoria and David Beckham’s relationship and careers, but also touches on their friendship with the royal family.
Tom claims that Meghan saw herself as the “new Diana of the Royal Family”, following the success of the Sussexes’ first foreign royal tour to Australia.
During the quick visit, the Duchess of Sussex announced that she was pregnant with Prince Archie.
However, the famous biographer claims that Meghan was discontented because “in the royal hierarchy she was subservient to Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and the future Queen.”
Previously, Meghan discussed how unusual she found having to curtsy to the late queensaying it was like “medieval times” in her Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan.
Prince Harry said he reminded a stunned Meghan in the car on the way there that she would have to curtsy to his grandmother as she was the sitting monarch.
At this point she demonstrated an exaggerated bow and seemed to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.
Online commentators were quick to criticize her for appearing to mock the institution of monarchy.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as working royals in 2020 and now live in a £12million Californian mansion with their two children, five-year-old Prince Archie and three-year-old Princess Lilibet.
The House of Beckham also claims that Meghan was also “irritated” because Victoria had “considerably more wealth” than her.
Tom claimed that Meghan “showed off” around Victoria when they met, due to her status within the royal family and also because the Californian actress felt she had “little in common” with the former Spice Girl.
The biography states: “In Meghan’s celebrity world, rank depended on wealth and fame.
“As an experienced operator, Meghan deluded herself into thinking that her status in the royal family placed her above Victoria in the social hierarchy.
“She was angered to discover that the Beckhams had considerably more wealth than her.

“They owned five homes, had constant access to private jets, invitations to sail on yachts and more money. And she would soon be a duchess.
According to the book, Victoria would have made an effort to befriend Meghan, due to her family’s long-standing friendship with Prince Harry and Prince William.
Tom added that “a member of Victoria’s team offered Harry’s fiance advice on the best facials and hairdressers in London.”
Meghan is also said to have asked Victoria if she could provide her with free clothes and bags, but this was “vetoed by the palace as it was against their rules”.
Due to her desire to avoid the paparazzi, Meghan reportedly stayed at Beckham’s Beverly Hills residence during a private trip, and this meant she was “secretly provided by the Beckhams’ team.”
Prince Harry’s ‘contempt’ for David Beckham in Australia
AFTER flying 22 hours from London to Sydney at Prince Harry’s request, David Beckham was puzzled why the prince hadn’t met him.
But the prince had no plans to see the former English football captain, or even be photographed with him, Tom Bower said.
It was October 2018 and Harry was hosting the Invictus Games.
Given that David played a prominent role in bringing the 2012 Olympic Games to Great Britain and a major role in the unsuccessful 2010 football World Cup bid, it seemed natural that Prince Harry would invite David to join him in famous competition for wounded soldiers.
As a man who loved royalty, David would never refuse such an important request.
But, having flown halfway around the world, he was baffled as to why the authorities, after he arrived at the sporting venue, were dancing around to keep him happy but away from Harry.
She didn’t want any competition from David in the media, and especially from his wife, Victoria.
The reason for the distance was Meghan, the newly married Duchess of Sussex.
When it was reported that Victoria had given Meghan makeup advice, the relationship reportedly turned sour.
The Duke of Sussex reportedly called David to accuse him and his wife Victoria of leaking stories, leaving David ‘furious’.
The Beckhams managed to get an invite to Harry and Meghan’s royal wedding in 2018, but Tom claims that in an attempt to “punish” the Beckhams, they were not invited to the wedding dinner despite hosting other big names like George Clooney , which Meghan did not do. meet in person.
David was also “snubbed” by Harry after flying 22 hours from London to Sydney at the royal request for the 2018 Invictus Games.
Cracks began to appear in the duo’s friendship in spring 2022, when the former football player invited Prince William and Kate to his son Brooklyn’s wedding – not Harry and Meghan.
It appears the Beckhams’ loyalty to other members of the royal family has paid off, with David being given the role of charity ambassador by King Charles after the couple bonded over their love of nature.
Former Manchester United ace Becks, 49, surprised the King, 75, last year with a jar of his homemade honey and later chatted about his passion for beekeeping.
