Prince William Sends Message to Meghan Markle With Recent Royal Appearance: ‘She’s Probably Livid’
Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, have not had the best relationship with the royal family in recent years. Harry and Meghan were disappointed in the way Meghan was treated by the royals, and things haven’t changed much since the Sussexes left in 2020.
Harry and Meghan have also lost a few friends along the way, including British icons David and Victoria Beckham. Now, Prince William’s recent royal engagement seems to be a direct hit at the duchess’ past friendships.
Prince William just shared a photo with David Beckham
While Harry and Meghan were in the royal family, they grew quite close to David and Victoria Beckham. David, a former soccer player, and Victoria, known for her role in the Spice Girls band as well as for her fashion, had a solid friendship with the Sussexes and even attended their wedding. But ultimately, the Beckhams had a falling out with Harry and Meghan, with rumors suggesting that Meghan thought they could be behind some of the leaked stories about her that were ending up in the press shortly after she and Harry wed.
Now, William seems to be getting involved with David Beckham, and some are seeing it as his way of sending a message to Meghan. The prince recently posted a photo to Instagram with David alongside some new helicopters.
“Yes, I do think that this is something that will annoy Meghan Markle,” royal expert Kinsey Schofield said of the photo of William and David, according to Express. “I just think that she’s probably livid right now, based on the reaction that she’s getting from all of these stories … That’s gotta be incredibly hard for her. And then to see this kind of victory moment from Prince William.”
William and David were together to celebrate new helicopters for London’s Air Ambulance charity, which were the result of fundraising efforts. “LAA medical teams can continue reaching patients when every second counts,” part of the prince’s Instagram caption read.
Prince William and Meghan Markle don’t seem to talk
The last time William and Meghan spoke is unclear, but the two don’t seem to be close at all. There have been rumors for a while that William does not speak to Harry, so it seems unlikely that William and Meghan would have anything to say to each other. Harry and Meghan did send a message to Kate when she announced her cancer diagnosis, and William and Kate did publicly wish Harry a happy birthday in September, but otherwise, the communication has reportedly been next to none.
William and Harry have not tried to work through their issues though there is always a chance the two could reconcile down the road. The princes were once close, but it’s hard to tell if they’ll ever get back to that.
