Prince Harry Seeks to Rebuild Friendship with Beckhams, But Meghan Markle ‘Isn’t Going to Bend a Knee’
Prince Harry is reportedly looking to repair his strained relationship with David and Victoria Beckham, despite the well-publicized rift between the two couples. However, Meghan Markle is strongly opposed to the idea, especially following what has been described as a series of public and humiliating snubs from the former Spice Girl and fashion designer.
According to an insider close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry sees reconciling with the Beckhams as more than just a personal gesture. The Duke believes that mending the friendship could bring strategic advantages, particularly by tapping into the couple’s extensive connections in both the UK and the US.
“As well as simply wanting to reinstate his friendship with the couple, Harry feels it would be a clever chess move if they can find a way of repairing the broken bond with David and Victoria,” a source revealed to Closer Magazine. The insider explained, “For one thing, it would open all kinds of opportunities for them in both the UK and the US. The Beckhams have so many connections.”
Despite Harry’s optimism, Meghan reportedly does not share his enthusiasm. The source explained that the Duchess of Sussex is unwilling to make amends, largely because of her strong sense of pride and the perceived public rejections she has faced from the Beckhams. “Love them or hate them, they’re just so popular socially, and that could only benefit Harry and Meghan. But she doesn’t see it that way,” the insider noted.
“It’s no secret that they’ve rejected her pretty publicly many times over, so it’s easy to see why the idea of kissing up to them would be very hard to stomach,” the source continued. Meghan, known for her independence and determination, reportedly feels that extending an olive branch to the Beckhams would compromise her values. “She has a lot of pride, and isn’t going to want to bend a knee to anyone,” the insider added.
While Harry remains hopeful about repairing the friendship, the tension between his desire for reconciliation and Meghan’s reluctance could complicate any future efforts to rekindle their ties with the Beckham family.
