Meghan Markle “squealed” when she saw Spice Girl Victoria Beckham at an event in 2013, a former friend has claimed.
Lizzie Cundy, who befriended the Suits star after sitting next to Meghan at the charity event hosted by businessman pal John Caudwell, revealed the Duchess of Sussex first saw Posh Spice at the Global Gift Gala.
She said: “Meghan is saying that Victoria leaked stories.
“The second time I saw Meghan, Victoria was at the event and I've never seen anyone squeal quite like it, Meghan was so thrilled with excited to see Victoria Beckham. She went 'Oh my God, that's Victoria Beckham!'”

Cundy added: “It was crazy, I thought 'You've got to calm down and be cool', now Harry has apparently listened to Meghan claiming Victoria has done stories saying where Meghan was going to go.
“There were places Victoria told Meghan to go to when she came to London and they started appearing in the press.”
She also told the Mirror: “She was a proper big fan, she let that show – Victoria doesn't need to leak stories, she doesn't need to do that … I think Victoria and David have slowly tiptoed away like the other friends, many friends who went to the wedding have tiptoed away from Meghan.”
The feud between the Beckhams and the Sussexes has reportedly left ex-Manchester United hero David “absolutely furious” after Victoria was accused of leaking stories.

“The Beckham’s don’t need Harry and Meghan, they’re A-listers in their own field, they don’t need them.
“But isn’t it sad that the Beckham’s were at the wedding, as were the Obamas, as were the Clooneys. Where are they all now?
“They’re beginning to see who the real Harry and Meghan are, and they don’t want to be in the same sphere.”
