Victoria Beckham dons bikini while with husband David on their yacht

PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: Bikini-clad Victoria Beckham relaxes with husband David on their £5m yacht in Miami amid claims their friendship with Prince Harry and Meghan is OVER

Victoria Beckham looked relaxed as she stripped down to a black bikini top while spending time with husband David on their £5million yacht off the coast of Miami, Florida on Saturday.

The fashion designer, 49, displayed her slender physique as she wore a string bikini top and some black shorts before laying out in the sun.

She shielded her eyes behind some dark sunglasses as she walked across the vessel’s deck before resting next to her sportsman partner David, 48.

It comes after it emerged Meghan Markle may have sidelined her friendship with the couple, following a suspicion they may have leaked stories about the Sussexes.

However, David and Victoria enjoyed some downtime this weekend as they relaxed in the tropical sun.

David was seen arriving on a golf buggy before boarding his superyacht with his wife.

The president and co-owner of Inter Miami CF put his feet up as he sat at the back of the top deck of the boat.

Former Spice Girl Victoria could be seen resting her head on his legs as she lay next to him.

David later changed into a white T-shirt while Victoria worked on her golden tan.

Their boat trip comes as the Beckhams appear to have been ‘Markled’, with the word cruelly used by critics of Meghan to describe how she is seemingly able to swiftly move on from some of those once closest to her.

David and Victoria Beckham were guests at her wedding to Prince Harry at Windsor in 2018. However, their friendship seems to have died. 

Reciprocally, Meghan and Harry were not guests at the wedding of the Beckhams’ son Brooklyn to US heiress Nicola Peltz in April last year.

Nor were either of the Sussexes at one of the biggest celebrity events of the year, last weekend, when Argentina’s Lionel Messi made his debut for David’s Inter Miami football team as Kim Kardashian, tennis legend Serena Williams and a host of other big names partied in the VIP boxes.

Most notoriously ‘Markled’ has been her father Thomas, 79, after he sold paparazzi pictures of himself preparing for his daughter’s wedding.

Meghan now very rarely speaks to her childhood best friend Ninaki Priddy after they reportedly fell out over Meghan’s treatment of her first husband Trevor Engelson. 

Even stylist Jessica Mulroney, Meghan’s one-time ‘Best Friend Forever’, whose children were pageboys and a bridesmaid at the Sussexes’ wedding, may have fallen by the wayside. Ever since Mulroney became embroiled in a racism row with a social media influencer in 2020, she has not been photographed in public with the duchess.

In the Beckhams’ case, there was a suspicion the couple may have leaked stories about the Sussexes, an accusation The Mail on Sunday has been told left David ‘absolutely bloody furious’. 

A source close to the Beckhams said: ‘David and Victoria went to Meghan and Harry’s wedding and were very supportive when Meghan arrived in the UK.’

The couples bonded because Izzy May, David Beckham’s communications director, was friends with Markus Anderson, chief membership officer for private social club Soho House, who helped arrange Meghan’s secret dates with Harry.

But the accusations, which The Mail on Sunday has been told came in a tense phone call, fractured the Beckham friendship. The source added: ‘Any making up now is so unlikely.’ Meghan has simply moved on.

Meanwhile, David and Victoria enjoyed a double date night with Lionel Messi and his glamorous wife Antonela Roccuzzo in Miami, on Friday.

The two power couples stepped out in style as they dined at swanky Japanese-inspired steakhouse, Gekko, where a ribeye steak costs $1200.

They were joined by Messi’s former Barcelona teammate and new Inter Miami signing Sergio Busquets, 35, and his girlfriend Elena Galera.

The MLS club’s co-owner Jorge Mas, 60, and his wife Aleyda were also at the group gathering.

SoFlo hotspot Gekko is owned by Bad Bunny and restaurateur David Grutman and blends elements of a traditional steakhouse with Japanese cuisine, including sushi and sashimi.

The restaurant, located in the Brickell neighbourhood of Miami, has already hosted a number of A-Listers.

Beckham and Messi appear to have a close relationship with the former England star recently claiming that bringing Messi to Inter Miami was one of the best moments of his life.

He told The Athletic: ‘I never thought I would have the same feeling as an owner as I had when I was a player.

‘When I got the phone call (to confirm Messi was joining), I had the feeling I had when I walked out at Old Trafford or Wembley.

‘I was like, “We’ve just beaten all competition to sign the greatest player to ever play our game”.

‘This will be up there with the biggest moves in American sporting history.’

When asked if it was one of the best moments of his life, Beckham responded: ‘Without a doubt’.

World Cup winner Messi has made an impressive start to his Inter Miami career, scoring a stoppage-time winner against Cruz Azul on his debut and bagging a brace in a 4-0 thrashing of Atlanta on Tuesday.

Champion: He celebrated with his family after the goal, which came in front of 21,000 fans in Florida
