How David Beckham got ‘revenge’ on Prince Harry for Meghan Markle snub.

The prince allegedly ignored the footballer after agreeing to meet him.

The explosive new biography of the Beckhams revealed how David got revenge on Prince Harry after Meghan Markle “ordered” him to snub the footballer at the Invictus Games.

Tom Bower claims in House of Beckham that David was left “perplexed” by Harry’s behaviour at the 2018 games, which celebrate the sporting achievements of wounded, sick and injured service people.

As the footballer questioned the whereabouts of his long-term friend, he was oblivious that “the prince had ordered that under no circumstances was the footballer to be allowed near him.”

Mr Bower added: “Photographs of the two together were forbidden.

The royal snub was brutal. David Beckham was puzzled. Why did the prince refuse to meet him?

The exclusion order, it later transpired, was issued by Meghan.

She did not want any competition in the media from Beckham, and especially not from his wife Victoria.”

But while Meghan might have been successful in keeping David and Beckham apart, the footballer did not forget the Duke of Sussex’s actions.

He allegedly “flew 7,600 miles from Qatar to Boston to join the new Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate, and President Biden to celebrate the launch of the royals’ environmental Earthshot prize” during the 2022 World Cup.

On the same day, Mr Bower said, “Harry and Meghan were seeking to wow Americans during an event in New York.

Inevitably the Sussexes were overshadowed by the constellation [of celebrities] in Boston.
