Sources suggest Prince Harry snubbed from FIFA because of David Beckham
According to Rob Shuter, Prince Harry hasn’t been invited to the FIFA World Cup Final due to David Beckham. “This isn’t about room on the guest list,” an insider told the outlet. The individual continued, “Football picked its prince years ago, and that prince is David Beckham.” For the unversed, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex once shared a close bond with David and Victoria Beckham. The friendship reportedly fell apart after Harry and Meghan accused the Beckhams of leaking stories to the British press.
“David never forgave it,” a source stated. They further explained, “The accusation destroyed the trust. Once that happened, there was no coming back.” Since then, the Beckhams have reportedly grown closer to Prince William. “The Beckhams chose William, and Harry knew exactly what that meant. The relationship has been over for years,” said an insider.
David is expected to be hailed as one of the faces of the tournament. A source said, “If football has to choose between Beckham and Harry, it’s not even a debate. Beckham is football royalty. Harry is yesterday’s news.”
This is not the first time Harry has been snubbed from an important event. Recently, the Duke of Sussex was also not invited to Peter Phillips’s second wedding. As per Closer‘s insiders, Harry felt hurt by this snub. “Being frozen out of Peter Phillips’ wedding has delivered one of the deepest blows yet to Harry,” a source said.
They continued, “But the sentiment within the family – particularly William – became that the day needed to stay very much focused on Peter and Harriet. Nobody wanted headlines dominated by speculation about Harry, Meghan and family tensions.”
