Anna Wintour\u2019s loyalty is not to be tested \u2014 and celebrities who have crossed her dear friends have found themselves personae non gratae at the Met Gala<\/a>, Page Six is told. Just ask Meghan Markle and Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham.<\/p>\n

Romeo Beckham, 23, made his Met debut after being invited by Burberry, but Page Six is told that Wintour has frozen out married couple Brooklyn<\/a> and Nicola Peltz Beckham for the past two years amid their epic fallout <\/a>with the boys\u2019 parents, David and Victoria Beckham.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn, 27, and the 31-year-old actress attended the bash in 2021, 2022 and 2023, and he went solo in 2024.<\/p>\n

Wintour has long been friends with\u00a0David and Victoria and regularly attends Victoria\u2019s fashion shows.
\u201cAnna is exceedingly loyal,\u201d said a fashion show insider. \u201cShe\u2019s been close friends with the Beckhams for years \u2026 She\u2019s the first one in the door at Victoria\u2019s shows. And while it was rumored Brooklyn and Nicola were invited last year, that never happened. Anna protects her friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wintour even flew to London to attend the October 2023 premiere of David\u2019s Netflix doc-series, \u201cBeckham\u201d \u2014 and, as we recently reported, is now working with the doc\u2019s director, Fisher Stevens<\/a>, after meeting him through the Beckhams. Stevens was on hand this week to record footage of Wintour and Vogue editor Chloe Malle getting ready for the Met Gala.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Wintour\u2019s fondness for Queen Camilla has influenced her opinion of Markle, Page Six is told.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Prince] Harry and Meghan have never been invited,\u201d confirmed a source of the couple, who have publicly complained about their treatment behind palace walls. <\/p>\n

\u201cEven if they were,\u201d the source added. \u201cI don\u2019t think they\u2019d want to pay to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the queen and King Charles\u2019 US tour last week, Dame Anna, 76, greeted Camilla, 78, with kisses on both cheeks at a reception at the New York Public Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Page Six witnessed, the pair appeared thrilled to see each other. Wintour also joined the royal couple and a host of stars at a swanky reception for the King\u2019s Trust<\/a> at Christie\u2019s in Midtown.<\/p>\n

The Vogue doyenne is close friends with the royal family and visited Camilla at Clarence House in London in February to mark the opening of London fashion week. Wintour has long backed Camilla and Charles, writing of Camilla in 2002 that she looked \u201cmarvelous\u201d and \u201cwhat a difference being in love makes.\u201d<\/p>\n

There have also long been rumors that Markle, 44, irked Wintour by cozying up to then-British Vogue editor Edward Enninful, who had the Duchess of Sussex guest-edit a 2019 issue \u2014 only for the two to fall out in 2022 after she didn\u2019t get the September cover of the magazine.<\/p>\n

As Page Six reported<\/a>, Markle appealed to Wintour over Zoom, asking to be on the cover of both the US and UK editions, but, a source said, \u201cAnna wasn\u2019t interested.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

Wintour, meanwhile, is also personally responsible for inviting Blake Lively <\/a>to the ball and seated the actress at her own table, we can reveal, just hours after Lively settled her $60 million court case with her \u201cIt Ends With Us\u201d co-star and director Justin Baldoni.<\/p>\n

As Page Six reported, tickets for the extravaganza, which raises money for the Anna Wintour Costume Center at the Metropolitan Museum, this year cost $100,000, while a full table started at around $350,000.\u00a0Wintour raised a record-breaking $42 million with this week\u2019s event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anna Wintour\u2019s loyalty is not to be tested \u2014 and celebrities who have crossed her dear friends have…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":570202,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[57675,8634,6491,2755,6871,96,984,100,101251,11474,983,925,56,54,55,5932,52310],"class_list":["post-570201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-anna-wintour","tag-brooklyn-beckham","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-news","tag-david-beckham","tag-entertainment","tag-king-charles-iii","tag-meghan-markle","tag-met-gala","tag-nicola-peltz","tag-prince-harry","tag-queen-camilla","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-victoria-beckham","tag-vogue"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=570201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/570202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=570201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=570201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=570201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
