Meghan Markle would still be bad against Victoria Beckham…And this time, it's because of Netflix. As a reminder, as part of a $100 million contract that links the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to the platform, the former actress recently filmed her own lifestyle show in which she “will celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining and friendship”indicated an official press release. A show for which we are still waiting to know the broadcast date and with the latest news, we may have to be patient. Netflix doesn't make it a priority, and we might not discover it before… next May. Ouch. But what does Victoria Beckham have to do with it?
Meghan Markle doesn't appreciate being overtaken
Well, she also has a project with Netflix. A few weeks ago it was announced that the former Posh Spice would be the heroine of a documentary series, The House of VBwho will (re)discover his journey in the fashion industry. And it could be broadcast well before Meghan's. Ouch. According to Ingrid Seward, the magazine's editor-in-chief Majesty questioned by the Sunthere is no doubt: Prince Harry's wife can only be “furious” to the idea that Victoria Beckham could deprive him of priority.
“She likes to be in controlexplained the royal expert. But she would have to be magnanimous on this subject. She may be upset, but she can't show it, and she's enough good actress know how to do itshe added. She'll have to say something like 'isn't that wonderful, and isn't Victoria wonderful?' To say anything else would be a serious mistake, and she knows it perfectly well. Especially since she can do absolutely nothing about it because she has no say in the programming of these shows. Even if Meghan tells them 'I want to be first', it won't change anything for them. I think Meghan must say that Victoria Beckham is paving the way for her.” noted Ingrid Seward. Who doesn't imagine that the two women will reconcile one day.
A quarrel that continues
In 2023, in his book The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and PowerTom Bower returned to the “estrangement” between the two couples. According to him, the Sussexes distanced themselves from the Beckhams, whom they had invited to their wedding, because they suspected them of having leaked stories concerning their private life to the press in 2017. Harry reportedly personally called David – whom he has known for many years – to tell him. The ex-footballer would have been particularly upset. Tensions would have eased. But only for a while… Nothing helps, Meghan and Victoria are simply not made to get along.
