Tom Bower states in House of Beckham that Prince Harry did not meet the football legend at the Invictus Games, despite inviting him to attend.

The explosive new book claims David was “stunned” by the 2018 snub, especially as he had been friends with the Duke of Sussex for years.
Tom said: “Beckham found himself alone in the Invictus Games stadium,” Bower wrote of the Sydney event.
“Arriving on the appointed day to meet Prince Harry, he was perplexed why the officials were doing a dance to keep him happy but away from Harry.”
David is said to have questioned Harry’s whereabouts and failed to realize that “the prince ordered that under no circumstances should the footballer be allowed to approach him.
Tom said: “Photographs of the two of them together were prohibited. The royal contempt was brutal. David Beckham was intrigued.
“Why did the prince refuse to meet you?
“The exclusion order, it later emerged, was issued by Meghan. She didn’t want any competition in the media from Beckham, and especially from his wife Victoria.”
Also in his bombshell biography, Tom claimed Meghan was “irritated” because Victoria had “considerably more wealth” than her.
The book alleged 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 irritated to discover that the Beckhams he had considerably more wealth than she did.
“They had five houses, had constant access to private jets, invitations to sail on yachts and much 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.

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.”
Tom claimed that “a member of Victoria’s team offered Harry’s fiancé advice on the best facials and hairdressers in London.”
When it was reported that Victoria had given Meghan beauty advice, the relationship reportedly turned sour, with the Duke of Sussex reportedly calling David to accuse him and 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.
Cracks reportedly 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.
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.
At the time, a source said: “David’s attachment to history I came back with William and Kate and they have a very strong relationship and were the choice of wedding guests.
“It was always about them, it was never about Meghan and Harry.
“They are the people that David and Victoria are connected to and it has always been about them because they have a long history together.”
And perhaps it wasn’t a coincidence that, following the apparent ‘snub’, Meghan apparently stopped wearing Victoria’s designs – while Kate wore them more often.
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.
The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power was released on June 20.
