Prince Harry and Meghan suffer blow as Beckhams join King Charles and Camilla at Highgrove
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were once friends with the Beckhams
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have suffered a blow as the Beckhams have joined King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove this evening.
The King and Queen have joined Italian-American actor Stanley Tucci and the Italian Ambassador to the UK for a special dinner celebrating Slow Food and Slow Fashion at Highgrove Gardens.
The event, which is taking place ahead of Their Majesties' State Visits to Italy and the Holy See in April, has brought together His Excellency Inigo Lambertini and Maria Grazia Lambertini with representatives from sustainable food and fashion movements.
David and Victoria Beckham have attended the event as special guests.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were once friends with the Beckhams, but their relationship has reportedly soured in recent years with the couples no longer on speaking terms.
David Beckham has since forged a solid working relationship with both King Charles and Prince William.
Prince Harry's relationships with his father and brother have deteriorated at the same time.
Royal commentator Ingrid Seward previously told the Sun: "I only think [Victoria and Meghan] would reconcile if they come across each other, and I'm not sure that they really do. I can't think that their paths would particularly cross again.

"I think the Beckhams have distanced themselves from Meghan and Harry, but for the obvious reasons that we all know, you know Meghan and Harry are in the descendant, not the ascendant.
"Victoria is actually too busy. She's got a business. She's got a very successful husband.
"She's got houses all over the place. She's got children. I don't think she probably has any time to think about it really."
World-renowned chef Francesco Mazzei created a bespoke menu for Friday evening, blending British ingredients with Italian culinary traditions and local flavours to embody the principles of Slow Food.

The drinks selection was crafted by celebrated Italian mixologist Alessandro Palazzi.
He incorporated Italian flavours and herbs foraged directly from Highgrove Gardens.
The menu was inspired by Tucci, drawing on his experience hosting 'Tucci - The Heart of Italy'.
