Meghan Markle has been criticised by a celebrity biographer for thinking she held a higher social status than Victoria Beckham.
The statement has been made in Tom Bower's new book titled The House of Beckham, which also says the Duchess of Sussex was "irritated" to discover the couple had more money than her.
Bower brands the former Suits star as "deluded" for her thoughts as he opened up on the Sussexes and Beckhams' broken relationship. The two couples had previously been linked as pals, but Bower said Meghan's thought she had little in common with the former Spice Girl.

He continued: "She was irritated to discover that the Beckhams had considerably more wealth than herself. They owned five homes, had constant access to private jets, invitations to sail on yachts and much more money. And she was soon to be a duchess."
Despite her thoughts, it's believed Meghan tried to make the pairing work due to husband Prince Harry's connection with the famous couple. It's not the first time Meghan has been branded deluded. Last year, royal expert Jennie Bond told OK! the Sussexes had a deluded idea of their social status. Speaking to the magazine, Bond said it was after it was alleged they had wanted to return to the US on Air Force One following Queen Elizabeth II's funeral - a request that's said to have been snubbed.
Bond said: "Firstly, they have a very grandiose and deluded idea of their status on the world stage. And, secondly, they are impervious to the sensitivities of the situation they have created by stepping back as working Royals and then firing volleys of allegations at the royal family from their Californian haven."
She also slammed the couple as "insensitive" for putting President Biden "in a very awkward position" with a request in the first place.
