The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's relationship with the Beckhams was thought to be strained

Meghan Markle appeared to deny an ongoing rift with Victoria Beckham on her first day in Colombia.

Royal biographer Tom Bower previously claimed that the Duchess of Sussex and Posh Spice fell out over requests for free clothing from Victoria’s fashion line.


This was despite the former pop star and her husband David Beckham attending Meghan and Prince Harry's 2018 wedding at Windsor Castle.

Reports also claimed that the Duke of Sussex and footballer David Beckham had grown distant.

David was allegedly left “absolutely furious” after he and Victoria were accused of leaking stories, with reports suggesting their relationship with the Sussexes was now “over”.

A source told The Mail: “Any making up now is so unlikely.”

However, Meghan appeared to subtly hint that these reports were incorrect with her fashion choices after touching down in Colombia.

The duchess wore a brown shirt designed by Victoria Beckham to attend the "Responsible Digital Future" Forum at EAN University.

Meghan previously wore the ÂŁ600 shirt to endorse Joe Biden for US President in 2020.

She recorded a video from her Montecito home with Prince Harry amid the tense Biden versus Donald Trump campaign cycle four years ago.

Harry, 39, and Meghan, 43, were invited to Colombia by Vice President Francia Marquez, after she was left inspired by the couple's Netflix docuseries.

They began their trip by meeting Marquez and her husband at the Vice President's official residence in Bogota.

The duke and duchess later visited a local charter school, Colegio Cultura Popular.

The former working royals additionally watched a folkloric presentation at Centro Nacional de las Artes Delia Zapata during their visit to Colombia.

Finally, Meghan and Harry spoke onstage during a panel discussion at EAN University.

The Sussexes are visiting Colombia to take part in several events promoting mental health for young people and to combat cyberbullying.
