Meghan Markle has made a surprising move following Brooklyn Beckham’s snub.
The Duchess of Sussex made an appearance at the launch party for Highbrow Hippie, a new haircare line by celebrity colourist Kadi Lee.
The event, held at the Gjelina restaurant in Venice, California, was described as a celebration of friendship, innovation, and women-owned businesses.

However, the duchess shocked royal fans by carrying the £890 “Chain Pouch Bag In Black Leather”, designed by Victoria Beckham.
The Sussexes and the Beckhams are understood to be locked in a feud that has been brewing since 2018.
Earlier this month, the Beckhams’ eldest child, Brooklyn, 25, was asked whether he saw more of Harry and Meghan, or William and Kate.
“Probably William,” Brooklyn told the US podcast Watch What Happens Live.

“He’s just the sweetest guy ever. He really is. He’s really down to earth. He’s a really good guy.”
David Beckham was once so close to Prince Harry that he and his wife, Victoria, were among the guests when the Duke of Sussex married Meghan at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, in 2018.
The family has since appeared to distance itself from Harry and Meghan.
When Meghan began dating Harry and found paparazzi camped outside her mother’s home in LA, the Beckhams offered the former actress the use of their villa in the city.

In addition, after Meghan moved into Nottingham Cottage, Victoria gave her advice on make-up, facials and hairdressing.
However, when news of the Beckhams’ generosity was reported in the press, Meghan was understood to become distrustful towards the couple, who denied leaking anything to the press.
While David and Victoria did attend Harry and Meghan’s wedding ceremony, they were not invited to the evening reception, which was attended by some showbusiness figures the Sussexes barely knew.
