Meghan & Harry snubbed by\u00a0influential\u00a0celeb couple\u00a0\u2013 this could ruin their new life in the UK<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Things are off to a rocky start for the Sussexes as they find themselves firmly on the outside of the celeb set<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Touching down in the UK last fortnight, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry began their new life in England as they are expected to continue. Flying in on a staggeringly huge private jet, the \u2018spendy Sussexes\u2019 as we may now refer to them, are then believed to have headed straight to the Cotswolds, AKA the \u2018Bel Air of the UK\u2019. They no doubt hope to continue a life of privacy in an area that you only have to take a brief meander to bump into the likes of local residents Kate Moss, Hugh Grant, Liam Gallagher \u2013 and even members of the Royal Family, who they fled 5000 miles to get away from in 2020.
 
Meghan, 45, then opted to explore the local area, and is reported to have found herself waltzing through the doors of Soho Farmhouse \u2013 an exclusive club much loved by local celebrities that shuns mud in place of plush furnishings, soft lighting and a luxe swimming pool.
 
And in continuing in this apparent bid to mix with the great and good of the Cotswolds, it\u2019s been reported that Meghan had hoped to reconnect with one of her old pals \u2013 Victoria Beckham, the matriarch of the so-called \u2018Chipping Norton set\u2019.
 
However, we\u2019re told Posh Spice has other ideas, and after their reported fallout around eight years ago, has no desire to meet Meghan whatsoever, despite the Duchess living right on her doorstep and socialising in exactly the same spots  \u2013 Vic is also a regular at Soho Farmhouse.
 
An insider says, \u2018There was a time when Victoria and Meghan were as thick as thieves. There was even some talk when they were friends that they might team up on a project, so to now be completely out of touch is pretty sad.
 
\u2018It is very sad from both Meghan and Harry\u2019s perspective that things have fallen apart so badly with the Beckhams because they genuinely feel that what happened in the first place was more of a misunderstanding than anything else; they certainly never expected it to be a reason for David and Victoria to ghost them and end an entire friendship.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018They have both tried very hard to fix things and there\u2019s been nothing in return, not even a welcome back message, so the Beckhams’ stance has become even more clear since she and Harry arrived back in England.\u2019
 
Meghan, 45, and Victoria, 52, previously had a history of friendship after first being introduced to each other by their husbands, David and Harry. Unlike many of Meghan\u2019s own pals and former Suits co-stars, former Spice Girl Victoria and football legend David even managed to bag an invite to the couple\u2019s wedding back in 2018, with reports suggesting that Victoria had gone out of her way to support and befriend Meghan.
 
In turn, Meghan supported Victoria\u2019s own fashion line, opting to wear her designs to some of her most public engagements within the Royal Family, including her 2017 engagement announcement with Harry, 41.
 
But it wasn\u2019t to last. In 2018, just months after the wedding, David, 50, is said to have been left \u2018furious\u2019 after receiving a call from Harry, who is alleged to have accused Victoria of leaking stories about Meghan to the media. The Beckhams have never spoken out about this publicly. 
 
There were suggestions that Meghan had later wanted to extend an olive branch to her former friend when she wore a VB design during her \u2018tour\u2019 of Columbia in 2024, but Meghan\u2019s apparent gesture of goodwill proved to be too little, too late.
 
And now her alleged accusations may have come back to haunt Meghan, as the source says the recent success of Victoria\u2019s own eponymous fashion brand would have placed her in the perfect position to mentor Meghan through the UK launch of her own lifestyle brand.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re told, \u2018Having to be reminded of how successful Victoria\u2019s brand has become is tough because there\u2019s no doubt Meghan would love her advice when it comes to turning her own brand around and that\u2019s simply not an option.
\u00a0
\u2018She\u2019s in a position with her brand where she could really use Victoria\u2019s help. In an ideal world Meghan would love to have Victoria as a mentor, but instead, she\u2019s got her as an enemy, it\u2019s no wonder she\u2019s bitter about this.\u2019
\u00a0
To make matters worse, the source says Meghan and Harry fear that Victoria \u2013 who remains very influential in the showbiz world \u2013\u00a0now has the contacts to sabotage their UK return if she ever decides to wreak her revenge.
\u00a0
\u2018What\u2019s worst is the fear that Victoria could go so far as to sabotage Meghan\u2019s chances in the UK since there\u2019s obviously some pretty bad blood on her part,\u2019 the source says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u2018Victoria is known to be very competitive, and Meghan will be going for a similar target audience with her lifestyle brand As Ever so it\u2019s not out of the question. It can\u2019t help that Guy Ritchie, who is very close friends with Victoria and famously Team Wales, has reportedly been back and forth with Meghan around an acting offer for his Netflix drama, The Gentleman.\u2019
\u00a0
However, their rift goes much deeper than the accusation of leaking stories, with both the Beckhams and the Sussexes said to have been \u2018stung\u2019 by the part each have played in their respective family \u2018betrayals\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Harry and Meghan have a notoriously difficult relationship with the Prince\u2019s family, David and Victoria are grown close to the rest of the royals, in particular Kate Middleton and Prince William, with David receiving a knighthood from King Charles as part of his birthday honours list last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, we previously reported how Victoria had been left upset over Meghan and Harry\u2019s one-time blossoming friendship with their estranged eldest son, Brooklyn, and his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham, who the Sussexes are believed to have invited over for a private dinner at their Montecito home last year.
 
And now we\u2019re told the Sussexes believe that William may well be behind their struggle to make amends with the Beckhams.
 
\u2018Naturally they are going to assume that William has a big hand in the way this has all shaped up and how long it\u2019s dragged on. Everyone knows how big he is on loyalty; he always wants to see who is on his side and who\u2019s not,\u2019 the source says.
 
\u2018Anyone that\u2019s friendly with Harry and Meghan is automatically seen as an enemy by William, and he and Kate are the next King and Queen, so it makes a lot of sense that David and Victoria would want to be Team Wales and do whatever William asks.\u2019
But the source says this hasn\u2019t made the Beckhams\u2019 snub any \u2018less hurtful\u2019 \u2013 especially for Meghan.
 
\u2018They [Harry and Meghan] still feel that they were very unfairly tossed aside,\u2019 they add. \u2018It was particularly bewildering for Meghan because she genuinely idolized Victoria and was so thrilled to be her friend. She was able to sort of forget about it these last few years in California since they didn\u2019t have to cross paths much, but now that she\u2019s back in England that\u2019s not easy to do.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
