An insider told the Sun in 2020: "Harry was very polite, but obviously it was a pretty awkward exchange and David was mortified.

"Inexplicably, [Meghan] feared Victoria was behind it — I mean, the idea that Victoria Beckham would be personally ringing journalists to give them a scoop is ridiculous — and spoke to Harry about it.

"Harry is very protective of Meghan and decided to deal with the matter head-on, by directly contacting his good pal, David.

"He quickly put Harry right, and the two men agreed to move on — but it certainly made things awkward for a while."
