Netflix recently unveiled the trailer for "Beckham," a four-part documentary series that provides a deep dive into the life and career of the iconic footballer, David Beckham. The series also delves into the Beckhams' personal relationships, their ability to navigate social circles, and the challenges of dealing with individuals who may appear as friends but may not be entirely genuine.
The trailer boasts appearances from some of Victoria and David Beckham's well-known friends, including Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Jada Pinkett Smith, and others. However, what has caught the public's attention is the absence of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who recently signed a deal with Netflix to produce documentaries and other content.
Initially, the Duchess of Sussex's name was listed in the documentary's guest description. Still, due to some inconsistencies or undisclosed reasons, they were subsequently removed from the official version. In a second trailer that leaked on YouTube, Victoria Beckham is heard discussing unnamed friends who borrowed dresses without notifying her, which directly contradicted her policy.
This statement has sparked speculation that Victoria was referring to Meghan Markle. An insider has shed light on the history of their relationship, initially marked by friendliness when Meghan and Harry sought Victoria's advice on visiting her store and navigating London and the Cotswolds, where they were neighbors. However, things took a negative turn when Meghan expressed interest in wearing Victoria's clothing.
While Victoria was open to providing friends with discreet discounts, she did not give away dresses for free, adhering to her policy. This difference in expectations led to a confrontation between Harry and David Beckham, as Meghan accused Victoria of selling stories about them to the media. Meghan also publicly claimed that Victoria's dresses didn't suit her, despite having worn them on several occasions before.
The situation escalated further when the Beckhams learned that Harry and Meghan were spreading rumors that they had falsely accused the couple of leaking stories to the press. This discovery strained their relationship even more, with reports of a tense phone call between the former friends, officially leading to the decision to cut ties. Reconciliation now seems unlikely.
Rumors of a feud between the Beckhams and Harry and Meghan have been circulating since the previous year. While the Beckhams attended the Royal couple's wedding in 2018, they did not extend an invitation to their own son's wedding to Nicola Peltz in 2022. Speculation grew that Harry and Meghan believed the Beckhams were behind negative stories about them in the media. This feud is explored in Royal expert Tom Bauer's book, "Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors.
