Meghan Markle sees reflections of her own past in the Beckham family rift
Harry is allegedly advising Brooklyn Beckham on how to manage a public break from his famous parents
A royal commentator has shed light on Meghan Markle’s private reaction to the ongoing friction within the Beckham family.
Writing on his Substack, expert Rob Shuter revealed that the Duchess of Sussex reportedly feels “vindicated” following the fallout between her former friend Victoria Beckham and son Brooklyn.
Years after cutting ties with the fashion mogul, Meghan is said to find a sense of justification in the recent headlines.
According to Shuter, Meghan sees parallels between her own experiences and the “explosive” claims currently surrounding the famous family.
An insider told Shuter, “Meghan is watching all of this unfold and can’t help but feel satisfied,” adding that she believes “Victoria’s pattern of control, manipulation, and constant undermining has finally been exposed.”
The rift between the Sussexes and the Beckhams reportedly began when Harry and Meghan suspected Victoria of leaking stories to the press—a claim that echoes the current tensions regarding the family's public image.
The insider further suggested that for Meghan, the current drama proves she was right to distance herself.
“Brooklyn’s statement just confirms what Meghan already knew,” the source claimed, noting that she feels she moved away from unnecessary chaos.
Furthermore, Shuter suggested that Prince Harry has taken on an unexpected role as a mentor to Brooklyn, offering guidance on how to navigate a public separation from a high-profile family.
For the Duchess, this collapse isn't merely gossip; it is perceived as validation for her decision to walk away.
