The tension between Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham is reportedly not cooling down anytime soon. Insiders claim that the former friends are now in a “bitter face-off,” and Beckham’s latest career win may have led to a fresh wave of rivalry. As one insider put it, the renewed spotlight on Beckham’s Netflix show seems like a win in the public eye, but for Markle, “it’s not the moment she was hoping for.”
Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham in bitter competition, claims source
Victoria Beckham and Meghan Markle are reportedly at a crossroads. Beckham’s new Netflix documentary, which follows her rise from fame in the Spice Girls to a globally recognized fashion icon, has become a major hit for the streaming platform. But RadarOnline reported that the project’s success has “triggered” Markle, whose own Netflix ventures could not make the same impact.
An insider told the outlet, “Victoria’s documentary has all of Netflix buzzing.” The documentary “came out way better than anybody expected,” but “Meghan’s Netflix projects have been heavily ridiculed.” As such, the source claimed that Markle is “following the Victoria saga closely and hoping it doesn’t” outshine her and her husband, Prince Harry.
The industry is noting the contrast between the two women’s recent projects. Beckham’s docu‑series, celebrated for its authenticity, highlights her own journey and work ethic, while Markle’s lifestyle show struggled to find an audience. The source explained, “It’s a triumphant moment for the Beckham family and for Netflix, but definitely not for Meghan, who still seems like she’s in search of her authentic self. Victoria doesn’t have that problem.”
The two women have been at odds for years. The Beckhams famously attended Harry and Markle’s royal wedding in 2018, but the friendship reportedly cooled after the Sussexes’ very public split from the royal family. Insiders claimed that the current success of Beckham’s Netflix project has only sharpened the divide.
While Markle and Beckham are currently focusing on their own work, sources say the silent rivalry between them is far from over.
