Meghan Markle apparently faced a significant challenge when her former friend Victoria Beckham declined her proposal for reconciliation, according to The News International.
Royal analyst Ingrid Seward shared with Fabulous magazine that Beckham, 50, is unlikely to make amends with Markle, 43, and her husband Prince Harry. Reports from various sources suggest that the friction between the Sussexes and the Beckhams began in 2018.
Earlier this year, whispers circulated that the Duchess of Sussex alleged the former Spice Girl of revealing information about her, causing her husband David to become “furious” over the claim.

Victoria and her husband David, 49, were guests at Markle and Harry's wedding in 2018, but the couples have not been seen together since Markle and Harry, 40, relocated to California. As Seward explained regarding Posh Spice and her hubby: "I think the Beckhams have distanced themselves from Meghan and Harry, but for the obvious reasons that we all know, you know Meghan and Harry are in the descendant, not the ascendant."
Seward added: "[Posh] is actually too busy. She's got a business. She's got a very successful husband. She's got houses all over the place. She's got children. [...] I don't think she probably has any time to think about it really." The commentator compared the Beckhams and Sussexes, saying: "[The Beckhams] are so incredibly successful, and it's all through their own hard work. And people love that it's a rags to riches story, whereas Meghan's is a riches to rags story."
As an insider also similarly dished to Ok! Magazine: "Both David and Victoria put great importance on family and would never, ever turn on their relations the way that Harry and Meghan did. The truth is that Victoria never really liked Meghan much." The outlet reported that another tipster dished: "[Victoria Beckham] was friendly and welcoming to [Meghan Markle] but is not bothered about staying in touch."
In his book The House of Beckham, Tom Bower notably claimed that the former Suits actress "put on airs" around the fashion designer because they had "little in common." He said: "In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame. As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself that her status in the royal family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order."
