Prince Harry is reportedly seeking to reconnect with former football star David Beckham in hopes that he might serve as a mediator between him and the Royal Family, particularly his brother, Prince William. According to OK Magazine, Harry believes that Beckham’s close bond with William could be instrumental in softening the strained relationship between the two royal siblings.
However, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, reportedly finds it “ridiculous” that Harry is reaching out to the Beckhams. She is said to be unimpressed with the idea of trying to gain favor with the couple, despite their high standing both in the UK and the US. “Meghan feels it’s ridiculous to even care what the Beckhams think,” a source told Closer.
Recently, David Beckham’s close friendship with Prince William was highlighted during their joint appearance at London’s Air Ambulance Charity event, where the two were seen working together for the cause. The Duke of Sussex now hopes to leverage Beckham’s influence, believing that David’s approval might help heal the rift between him and William.
According to the insider, Harry is being “strategic” in his efforts to rekindle his friendship with David. The source explained, “Harry knows how much William values David’s friendship, and his hope is that getting David’s seal of approval could help soften things with his brother.” told to Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, Meghan seems to have her sights set on building relationships with more prominent figures on the global stage. “She has her sights set on making friendships with much more powerful people, like Kamala Harris,” the insider revealed. Meghan, it appears, is not interested in seeking approval from the Beckhams. “As far as she’s concerned, it’s beneath them to be begging the Beckhams for approval,” the source added.
Despite Meghan’s disapproval, Harry remains determined to reconnect with David Beckham and is hopeful that this renewed relationship could be the key to mending fences with the Royal Family. “Harry insists he’s being strategic and has put the word out that he’d like to be friends again,” the insider shared.
While tensions between the Duke of Sussex and the Royal Family remain high, Harry’s efforts to bring David Beckham into the equation signal that he may be exploring new avenues for reconciliation. Whether this strategy will bear fruit remains to be seen.
