However the source added that not long after Victoria shared the beauty secrets, some of these emerged in print which made Meghan ‘furious’.

The Beckhams were seen at Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding in May 2018 however the pair were absent from the exclusive ‘evening do’.
Meghan previously admitted to being unable to wear Victoria Beckham dresses despite loving the designs, explaining that the silhouette didn’t suit her ‘short’ torso.
However at the royal family’s annual Christmas church service at Sandringham last year, the duchess was dressed head-to-toe in the designer.
The pregnant duchess wore a navy wool-blend midi dress by the former Spice Girl, which neatly hugged her blossoming baby bump.
Speaking in the past interview, Meghan, who is 5ft 6ins, said she felt her waist wasn’t long enough to wear certain dresses.
Talking about how she chooses her outfits, she said at the time: ‘What I’m starting to learn is, even though things look amazing on the hanger, it doesn’t mean they’re going to look amazing on me.
‘For example I love Victoria Beckham dresses, but I don’t have the long torso to support that silhouette.’
MailOnline contacted David and Victoria Beckham’s representatives and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for comment.
