Victoria Beckham has long been a favourite of the royals, with Meghan Markle often being snapped in designs by the label.
But it appears the days of the Duchess of Sussex stepping out in the former Spice Girl’s clothes are well and truly over.
For it’s been reported that Prince Harry and Meghan have fallen out with Victoria and her husband David.
The royal couple allegedly had a suspicion that the Beckhams may have leaked stories about them to the press – leaving David ‘absolutely bloody furious.’
However the fall out is unlikely to impact Victoria’s standing in royal circles – for she is still counting as a favourite designer for a number of Queens and Princesses from around the world.
We might be unlikely to see Meghan donning any more of Victoria Beckham’s chic designs due to the supposed tension between the pair (Victoria pictured at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at St George’s Chapel in 2018)
Among those who have worn the designer’s clothing are Meghan’s sister-in-law the Princess of Wales, Queen Letizia of Spain and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.
Here FEMAIL reveals the very stylish client base of the former Spice Girl…

Much like her sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales has worn Victoria Beckham designs a number of times during her royal career.
Thrifty Kate Middleton, 41, has a collection of items from the designer, and has often been snapped wearing the same items twice.
Among them are a pair of Denim 53MM Square Sunglasses, which she has worn a number of times to Wimbledon, and her Quincy Tote.
But she also wears full outfits from the label for royal engagements as well.

Keeping her jewellery minimal with some £74 gold earrings by Shyla London, Kate opted for a bouncy blow-dry and finished off her outfit with a matching green suede £435 handbag from Manu Atelier.
In perhaps a nod to her bond with the designer, the choice was poignant for the Princess – for she was launching a long-term project.
During her visit to the market, the mother-of-three spoke with vendors who have worked at the market for over 30 years and members of the public about their reflections on the film, which made its big screen debut at a BAFTA event last night.

It was a Spring/Summer ’23 collection dress that Bella Hadid debuted on the runway at Paris Fashion Week back in September, and Victoria Beckham herself subsequently modelled on a date night with husband David in New York a few weeks later.
Letizia added navy blue heels by Magrit and a matching bag by Nina Ricci, which is a colour combination that might not immediately spring to mind, but totally works.
