Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lose 2 A-list celebrity allies as their shocking behavior in public leaves former friends ‘horrified’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s departure from royal duties has undeniably impacted their popularity, especially in the U.K. Initially, they seemed to find a welcoming environment in Hollywood, with high-profile interviews like their Oprah Winfrey sit-down and a Netflix docuseries garnering significant attention. However, their public profile has since declined, with reports of a “hermit-like” existence in Montecito, California, despite Meghan’s recent appearance at a charity gala and Harry’s international engagements.

One significant fallout from their royal exit has been the loss of close friendships, notably with celebrity couple David and Victoria Beckham. Sources indicate that the Beckhams were disturbed by Harry and Meghan’s public criticisms of the royal family, particularly through their interviews and Harry’s memoir, *Spare*. Richard Eden of the *Daily Mail* reported that the Beckhams found Harry and Meghan’s behavior “horrifying” and decided to sever ties as a result.

David and Victoria Beckham, known for their strong family values, reportedly felt that discussing familial grievances publicly was against their principles. Recent evidence of this estrangement surfaced when David was seen attending a charity event alongside Prince William, suggesting a shift in allegiance towards the future king.

While Harry and Meghan’s behavior may have played a role in the friendship’s decline, it appears there were underlying issues, particularly personality clashes between Meghan and Victoria. According to the biography *House of Beckham*, tensions escalated when Meghan accused Victoria of leaking personal information about her, although it was later revealed that the leak likely came from a mutual beautician they both frequented.

In summary, the Sussexes’ choice to share their experiences has not only strained their connection with the Beckhams but has also illustrated the complexities of maintaining relationships in the public eye. As they navigate their new lives away from the royal family, it remains to be seen whether they can rebuild these ties or continue to face the repercussions of their choices.
