Meghan Markle was left ‘starstruck’ after meeting Victoria Beckham for the first time in 2013, TV presenter Lizzie Cundy has claimed, amid reports the Sussexes and the Beckhams have fallen out.

Ms Cundy, from the UK but now living in LA, claimed she was with Meghan Markle at a party the first time she laid eyes on Posh Spice, causing the Duchess to ‘squeal’ with excitement.

Amid rumours Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have fallen out with David and Victoria, who were guests at their wedding in 2018, Cundy added that she believed Meghan had ‘manipulated’ Harry into believing the Beckhams had leaked royal stories.     

Reports emerged in the Sun on Sunday that Harry, 38, had confronted the ex-England captain, suggesting he or his wife, Victoria, were responsible for leaks about himself and Meghan.

David Beckham, 48, was said to be ‘absolutely bloody furious’ over the accusations that were made during a phone call, with the two couples keeping their distance from each other ever since.

Lizzie Cundy, 55, who first interviewed Meghan, 41, in 2013 but hasn’t spoken to her in years, told the New York Post: ‘I think Victoria and David have slowly tiptoed away like the other friends. Many friends who went to the wedding have tiptoed away from Meghan.

‘These are real big family people, there’s no way Victoria would’ve leaked stories.’

The presenter also claimed Meghan was left starstruck by Posh Spice the first time they met – which was the same time Ms Cundy first met the Duchess.

She told the New York Post that Meghan ‘squealed’ when she first met Victoria at a party in 2013.

The Beckhams attended the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at St George's Chapel in Windsor in 2018, but relations have since cooled between the pair, according to reports

‘Meghan was so thrilled with excitement to see Victoria Beckham. She went “Oh my God, that’s Victoria Beckham!”, Ms Cundy added.

She claimed the Duchess was a ‘proper big fan’ of Posh Spice, and recalled thinking Meghan needed to ‘calm down and be cool’ after first spotting her.

Cundy also said she believed Meghan had ‘manipulated’ Harry into believing the Beckhams had leaked the stories, which she believes is a wild theory because of how famous they are. 

Meghan became friends with Victoria and David after she started dating Prince Harry in 2016, with the world famous couple attending the Duke and Duchess’s wedding in 2018.

But the Sussexes were notably absent from Victoria and David’s eldest son Brooklyn Beckham’s wedding last year.

They also missed David’s football event this month that was attended by Kim Kardashian and Serena Williams.

Lizzie Cundy befriended Meghan at a party in London in 2013 after reportedly being encouraged to ‘look after her’.

Ms Cundy described the Duchess of Sussex as a ‘real girl’s girl’ to Grazia, recalling how Meghan had chatted with her all night. 

She claimed Meghan told her how much she loved London and how she hoped to find an ‘English boyfriend’.

The presenter added that she was ‘ghosted’ once Prince Harry proposed to Meghan, explaining how she ‘wanted fame and was open about that’.
