David Beckham, reportedly seething over the Duke’s refusal to be photographed alongside him during the 2018 Invictus Games, supposedly plotted a retaliation against the royal couple years later, following a prohibition imposed by the Duchess.
In Tom Bauer’s latest publication, “The House of Beckham: Money, s** and Power,” intricate details of this scandalous saga are revealed, alleging a long-standing friendship between the prince and the sports icon that eventually soured.
Despite being esteemed guests at the Sussexes’ nuptials in May 2018, Beckham and his wife Victoria found themselves embroiled in a bitter feud less than half a year later.
Rumors abound that tensions escalated when the Duchess purportedly instructed Beckham to steer clear of the Duke of Sussex at the Invictus Games held in Sydney, Australia, in October 2018, dedicated to wounded servicemen.
Bauer vividly recounts Beckham’s solitary presence at the Invictus Games Stadium, bewildered by the officials’ dismissive treatment towards him in contrast to the Duke of Sussex.
Confronting the authorities about his restricted access to the royal family, Beckham soon learned of the prince’s decree forbidding any proximity to the footballer under any circumstances, allegedly orchestrated by the Duchess herself to safeguard her media standing.
Despite feeling baffled and wounded by the exclusion, Beckham purportedly sought retribution almost four years later, as per Bauer’s revelations.
The constellation of celebrities in Boston inadvertently overshadowed the Sussexes, serving as Beckham’s subtle way of settling the score for being ignored in Sidney.
Bauer suggests that the strained relationship between the two couples had been deteriorating even before the snub at the Invictus Games.
Bauer’s exposé further delves into claims of Victoria’s dismay over not receiving an invitation with her husband to a star-studded pre-wedding dinner for the Sussexes, attended by luminaries like George Clooney.
Allegations of potential leaks about the Sussexes to the media attributed to either Beckham or Victoria reportedly left him incensed, as per accounts from the previous year.
The intricate web of personal vendettas and power plays within the realm of celebrity relationships is unveiled in this gripping narrative, shedding light on the intricacies of fame and influence.
