Meghan Markle had to be told off when she met Victoria Beckham, her former pal claims.
Lizzie Cundy said the Duchess of Sussex “squealed” when she saw the former Spice Girl in the flesh back in 2013. The TV presenter befriended Meghan that year and was asked to sit with the Duchess at a charity event in the UK hosted by John Caudwell.
At the time, the future Duchess was known for playing Rachel Zane in the legal drama Suits and hadn’t met her future husband Prince Harry. Lizzie has now bagged her own Amazon Prime show, Red Carpet Uncut, and has promised to share behind-the-scenes footage with Meghan and “bloopers”.

Lizzie told the Mirror: “We can [expect Meghan bloopers], She was ‘so excited to be there’, she was calling me ‘babe’, saying she loved London and the red telephone boxes and red busses. She was obsessed with London, you can see it from the interview.”

“She was so thrilled to be in the room with Victoria Beckham. This was the night I actually had to tell her to stop squealing when she did see Victoria, it wasn’t too cool and she was very overexcited.
“This was the time before she met her Harry, she was still in Suits, I’d never heard about it. This interview, she asked me to interview her!”

Lizzie said her producer at the time had suggested they didn’t have enough time to interview Meghan. She said: “[They told me] we’ve got huge stars, Eva Longoria and Victoria Beckham, we haven’t got time for this’. I said ‘No we have to, I promised her.'”
Lizzie said they agreed to record the interview which almost didn’t make the final cut. She said: “Who knew, it’s mad, she was very excited, she was very excited to be in the room with Victoria Beckham,” before adding: “It’s sad that their relationship has soured slightly.”

It’s been claimed relations between Meghan and Harry, and David and Victoria Beckham have cooled since David and Victoria attended the Royal Wedding. A source close to the Beckhams said: “David and Victoria went to Meghan and Harry’s wedding and were very supportive when Meghan arrived in the UK.”
