Netflix recently unveiled the trailer for "Beckham," a four-part documentary series that delves into the life and career of the iconic footballer, David Beckham. The series also offers insights into the Beckhams' relationships, their ability to navigate social circles, and the challenges of dealing with individuals who appear as friends but may not be genuine.
Notably, the trailer features appearances from some of Victoria and David Beckham's friends, including Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Jada Pinkett Smith, and others. However, what has raised eyebrows is the absence of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who recently signed a deal with Netflix to produce documentaries and other content. The Duchess of Sussex's name was initially listed in the documentary's guest description, but due to some inconsistencies, they were subsequently removed from the official version.
In a second trailer that leaked on YouTube, Victoria Beckham is heard talking about unnamed friends who have caused trouble by borrowing dresses without notification, which goes against her policy. This statement has led to speculation that it was directed at Meghan Markle. An insider explained that Victoria had a significant history with Meghan, initially being friendly with her when Meghan and Harry wanted to visit her store and sought advice on London and the Cotswolds, where they were neighbors.
However, their relationship took a sour turn when Meghan made overtures about wearing Victoria's clothing. While Victoria was willing to offer a discreet discount to friends, she did not provide free dresses, adhering to her policy. This 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 numerous occasions in the past.
The situation escalated when the Beckhams discovered that Harry and Meghan were spreading rumors that the couple had falsely accused them of leaking stories to the press. This discovery soured their relationship further. The insider revealed that the former friends had a tense phone call and have now officially cut ties, making reconciliation unlikely.
Rumors of a feud between the Beckhams and Harry and Meghan had been circulating since last 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 mounted that Harry and Meghan believed the Beckhams were behind negative stories about them in the media. According to royal expert Tom Bower, this feud is explored in his book "Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors.
