Meghan Markle's unusual request from Victoria Beckham was shut down by Palace
Royal author Tom Bower has revealed fresh details of the apparent fall-out between Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham.
Meghan Markle wanted "free handbags from Victoria Beckham before snubbing her", according to royal author Tom Bower.
Writing in his new book, The House of Beckham - Money, Sex and Power, Mr Quinn has shed light into the relationship - and fall-out - between the Beckhams and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
As reported by the Mirror, the author has released new details on where the relationship went wrong, as well as that revealing that the Duchess reportedly longed to be like the fashion icon.
Whilst engaged to Prince Harry, Meghan reportedly asked Victoria for free handbags and clothes but, according to the author, the request was "vetoed by the Palace for being against their rules".
Mr Quinn also claimed that Meghan was "irritated" when she found out that Victoria is richer than her - and that the Beckhams, as a couple, had "considerably more wealth" than she does.

According to the author, cracks in their friendship were showing from 2018 - despite the Beckhams securing an invite to their royal wedding in Windsor.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were then not invited to their son, Brooklyn Beckham's wedding last year - but that the Prince and Princess of Wales did secure an invitation.
Mr Bower's book - which was released on Thursday, June 20 - also stated that Meghan had ranked herself higher than the Beckhams in the social pecking order.
He wrote: "In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame.
"As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself that her status in the Royal Family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order."
