Victoria Beckham reportedly enacts the “ultimate revenge” on Meghan Markle amidst their alleged feud
MEGHAN Markle may be hoping her jams don’t leave her in as sticky a situation as her Netflix documentary.
The Sussexes’ Netflix show has tailed off in popularity and has been eclipsed by former friends Victoria and David Beckham, according to new figures last week.
The Beckhams’ documentary – released last October – had 208.5million hours watched in 2023.
Meanwhile, Harry & Meghan had 72.9million hours watched during the year, although their show was released the year before and it’s normal for show views to decline over time.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix series was an instant hit when it debuted on December 2022.
The show was so popular that it was Netflix’s biggest debut at the time, with 81.6million hours viewed in the first four days.
However, it seems the initial furore quickly died down.
This could have been due to fans hoping for royal insight in the show, but instead being frustrated at the couple being “whiny”, as some stated.
Meanwhile, other viewers slammed Meghan for “mocking” having to curtsy to the late-Queen.
In comparison, fans praised David for sharing honestly about his career and a number of comical family life scenes went viral.
The Beckhams and Sussexes have enjoyed a close friendship over the years, but cracks have formed in the last few years.
The Duke of Sussex allegedly called David to accuse him and his wife Victoria of leaking stories, leaving David ‘furious.’
David was also “snubbed” by Harry after flying for 22 hours from London to Sydney at the royal’s request, for the 2018 Invictus Games.
Cracks first started emerging in the pair’s friendship in spring 2022 when the former footballer invited Prince William and Kate to his son Brooklyn’s wedding – and not Harry and Meghan.
At the time, a source said: “David’s attachment and history go back with William and Kate and they have a very strong relationship and they were their choice of wedding guests.
“It was always about them, it was never about Meghan and Harry.
“They are the people David and Victoria are attached to and it’s always been about them because they’ve had a long history together.”
And perhaps it wasn’t a coincidence that after the apparent snub, Meghan, 42, seemingly stopped wearing Victoria’s designs – while Kate wore them more frequently.
She wore one of the designer’s dresses to an engagement in January 2023 and was spotted donning a pair of VB glasses at Wimbledon last summer.
She even reintroduced a Victoria Beckham bag to her wardrobe – taking the white Quincy tote out on a royal visit in May 2023, the first time she had been seen with it since 2016.
