Victoria Beckham just wanted to fit in growing up.

During the former Spice Girl’s interview with Nicole Kidman for Vogue Australia, the Academy Award winner asked Beckham, 50, whether she really got driven to school in a Rolls-Royce.

“You know, my dad had a Rolls-Royce and he also had a white van,” she began. “I came from a working-class background and so my dad in the 80s, he was an entrepreneur, he started his business with my mum at the kitchen table and he did very well, so he bought himself a Rolls-Royce.”

Beckham added that she went to a regular school and hadn’t lived in a big house, but as soon as her father, Anthony Adams, started making money, he treated himself to the luxury car.

“One day we’d go to school in the Rolls-Royce and one day we’d go in the van because he’d still work, he was an electrical wholesaler and he was very much a worker.”

“Me and my siblings used to beg him, can we please go to school in the white van?” Beckham continued. “Like, we were mortified at the idea of going in the Rolls-Royce. How things have changed!”

Beckham is the oldest of three, which includes her sister Louise and her brother Christian.

The model added that in the present day, she wouldn’t mind riding around in a luxury car but growing up it was more about fitting in. “Nowadays, I’d be like, don’t worry about the van, let’s go in the Roller! But in those days, we just wanted to fit in.”

Beckham’s upbringing came into the spotlight in October 2023 following the premiere of the Netflix documentary Beckham. In a now-viral moment from the documentary, the model said that she grew up “very working class.”

Her husband, David Beckham, however, poked his head in, telling her to “be honest” about the car he drove her to school in. “OK, in the ’80s, my dad had a Rolls-Royce,” she eventually relented.

The moment instantly went viral. Beckham even debuted a T-shirt poking fun at the viral moment.

Beckham’s parents, Jackie and Anthony Adams, lived modestly. However, her father found success when he founded his own electronics supply company. Jackie, who was an insurance clerk, and Anthony, who was an electrical engineer, have been married for 54 years.

“Whenever I said I can’t do it, my dad, he just wouldn’t hear it. He’d say, what do you mean you can’t do it? Why? Why? And I do that to my own children as well.”

Kate said she had finished chemotherapy but still had a long way to go to completely beat cancer.

On September 9, the Princess of Wales shared an emotional video taken near her residence in Norfolk last month. The three-minute video features her husband, Prince William, and their children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.

“As the summer draws to a close, I can’t describe the relief I felt when I finished my chemotherapy. The past 9 months have been extremely difficult for my family. As you know, lives can change in the blink of an eye and we have to find ways to weather storms and unpredictable paths,” Kate said in the video.

Princess Kate completes chemotherapy

Princess Kate said she has completed chemotherapy for cancer, but added that the journey to a full recovery is still long.

“I cannot express how relieved I am to finally finish my chemotherapy. The past nine months have been incredibly difficult for our family,” Princess Kate’s office shared a message from her on September 9.

Kate said the journey of fighting cancer is complicated, scary and unpredictable. “It makes you face your vulnerabilities in a way you never thought possible before, it gives you a new perspective on things,” said Princess Kate.

According to the British Princess, the recent period of treatment has reminded her and Prince William to reflect and be grateful for the seemingly simple but important things in life, the things we take for granted.

“It’s simply to love and be loved,” Kate said.

Kate said she would begin some public engagements later this year, although “the road to full recovery is still a long one”. Her last public appearances since announcing her diagnosis were at Trooping the Colour in June and Wimbledon in July.

Kate, 42, spent two weeks in hospital in January after abdominal surgery. Two months later, she announced she had cancer. Her office, Kensington Palace, said chemotherapy began in February and did not say what type of cancer she had.

Queen waited with a cake for Lilibet but was left hanging on great grandchild’s birthday

Queen Elizabeth II was so excited to celebrate her youngest great-granddaughter’s first birthday that she had a cake especially made for her with one candle – but it was never blown out

Queen Elizabeth II had 12 great-grandchildren and delighted in them all but was particularly touched when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle named their daughter after her.

The Queen’s youngest great-granddaughter was given her family nickname Lilibet. The sweet name comes from the Queen not being able to say Elizabeth properly as a toddler and the name stuck. Now the name is given to Prince Harry’s daughter alongside her middle name Diana – a poignant tribute to his mother, the late Princess of Wales. And the Queen’s former footman Paul Burrell says after Prince Harry and Meghan moved to America, losing the connection with Lilibet was upsetting for our late monarch in her final years. Despite her failing health, the Queen was determined to spend time with her mini namesake.Burrell says that when the family returned to the UK for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022, the Queen still didn’t get to see her granddaughter on her birthday. “Even on Lilibet’s first birthday the Queen didn’t see her,” Burrell exclusively tells The Mirror. “She saw her the day before. But on her birthday, the Queen had a birthday cake made with one candle in it. And they never turned up. That candle was never lit.”

The family celebrated Lilibet’s birthday at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor with a backyard picnic. That day, the Queen was set to attend the Epsom Derby in Surrey as part of the jubilee celebrations but was forced to cancel due to her ongoing mobility issues. “The next day she asked if maybe they’d like to come up for tea again and was told they’ve gone,” Burrell remembers. “‘What do you mean they’ve gone?’ she said. They’ve gone back to America. ‘Oh no, they never said goodbye’.”

Burrell says the Queen was “confused” by the slight and the family’s decision to leave so quickly. “How could you offend our Queen?” Burrell says. “Well, I don’t understand anyone that could do that. Not her family, why would you want to? She was devoid of jealousy, anger, envy, all those traits that we associate with other people she didn’t have. She was just a very simple soul. I wish the world could have known her the way I knew her.”

The first anniversary of the Queen’s death will be difficult for the family as she was such a huge part of their lives. “All the family dearly loved our Queen, and they will all be remembering her in their own particular ways,” Burrell says. “She was a mother, a granny, a great granny to all of them. And they all miss her. Even Harry and Meghan, in Los Angeles will be thinking about the Queen on her anniversary because Harry was a particular favourite.”

Burrell says he always had a “communication” with the Queen until the end of her life and knows the unique challenges she faced in her final years. Because while the Queen always kept her family close, her beloved grandson Prince Harry broke away from the royal family just two years before her death. And while Prince Archie was born in London, when his little sister Princess Lilibet was born on 4 June 2021, the family were already living over 5,000 miles away in California.

I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE! Furious Princess Anne SHAMES Meghan & Harry For BACKSTABBING Monarchy!

Princess Anne’s fury seems to have reached its peak as she publicly criticized Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for their actions, which are seen as “backstabbing” the British monarchy. According to close sources, Princess Anne cannot tolerate the couple’s continued shocking accusations against the family, which have severely damaged the monarchy’s reputation.

Reportedly, she has openly condemned the pair, accusing them of betraying the family’s trust and prioritizing personal gain over royal duties. Princess Anne, known for her unwavering dedication to the Crown, allegedly views Harry and Meghan’s behavior as disrespectful and harmful to the institution that the royal family has worked so hard to uphold.

The tension within the family has grown significantly, with many royal insiders suggesting that Anne’s words reflect the sentiments of other senior members of the monarchy. It’s clear that this royal rift is far from healing anytime soon.

Princess Anne reveals what she really thinks of Meghan and Harry with thinly-veiled dig

The Princess Royal, who is due to celebrate her 73rd birthday next week, discussed the prospect of a slimmed down monarchy, adding that it didn’t sound like a good idea

Princess Anne revealed what she really thinks of Prince Harry and Meghan during a candid interview – with many picking up on her thinly veiled dig.

The Princess Royal, who is due to celebrate her 73rd birthday next week, discussed the prospect of a slimmed down monarchy, adding that it didn’t sound like a good idea. Despite her brother King Charles in favour of the proposal, she told Canadian broadcaster CBC back in May that the suggestion was made when there were “a few more people around”.

Anne, who is the hardest working royal, was interviewed by chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault who said it is difficult to imagine how she could take on more work. “Well, I think the ‘slimmed-down’ (monarchy) was said in a day when there were a few more people around to make that seem like a justifiable comment,” Anne quipped.

The reference to a “few more people” left many believing it to be a dig at Harry and Meghan who decided to quit as working royals, as well as Prince Andrew who stepped down from public life. It also could be a reference to the late Queen and Prince Philip.

When it was put to her that the world changes, Anne said: “It changes a bit. I mean, it doesn’t sound like a good idea from where I’m standing, I have to say. I’m not quite sure what else, you know, we can do.” And asked if there are “conversations about relevance”, she replied: “There will be, everywhere. It’s not a conversation that I would necessarily have.

“I think it’s perfectly true that it is a moment where you need to have that discussion. But I would just underline that the monarchy provides, with the constitution, a degree of long-term stability that is actually quite hard to come by any other way.”

The Princess was then asked how she and her family deal with a recent poll that suggests many don’t want to see the monarchy continue. She said she sees herself in a supportive role for brother Charles.

“Well, we don’t in many respects need to deal with it, not least of all because it is the monarch that is the key to this, and the constitution that underpins the monarchy,” she said.

“We as a family see ourselves there to support that role. What we do, we hope, contributes to the monarchy and the way in which it can convey continuity, of not just interest, but of service, of understanding, the way that people in communities want to live their lives.

 

“And I think so often we get the chance to see communities and the people who do things really well and are very generous with their time in a way that, if you look at the media, you tend not to get that impression,” she said.

Speaking about what kind of King her brother will be, Anne said: “Well, you know what you’re getting, because he’s been practising for a bit, and I don’t think he’ll change. He is committed to his own level of service. That will remain true.”

It was put to the princess that she does not seem worried about the health or the longevity of the monarchy, and she replied: “I think you’re putting words into my mouth, as they say.”

She said she believes there is “genuine benefit from this particular arrangement, the constitutional monarchy, and I think it has good long-term benefits”, adding: “And that commitment to long term is what the monarchy stands for.”

I know why bitter Meghan won’t set foot in UK again – she wants nothing to do with the royals

It seems that Meghan Markle has no intention of returning to the UK anytime soon, and the reasons for this decision are becoming clearer. Sources suggest that Meghan’s reluctance to set foot in Britain again is driven by her strong desire to distance herself from the royal family.

Estranged from the Royals

Meghan’s relationship with the British Royal Family has been notably strained. Since she and Prince Harry stepped back from their royal roles and moved to the United States, tensions have only intensified. Public disagreements, constant media attention, and personal grievances have all contributed to Meghan’s growing disillusionment with her past life within the royal fold.

Reasons for Staying Away

Media Scrutiny:

 One of the primary reasons Meghan avoids the UK is the intense media scrutiny she faced while living there. The relentless tabloid coverage and negative press have left her wary of returning to an environment that she feels is hostile and invasive.

Public Opinion:

 Meghan is acutely aware of the polarized public opinion in the UK. The ongoing criticism and lack of widespread support have made the prospect of returning unappealing. She prefers to stay in the US, where she feels she has more control over her public image and narrative.

Family Tensions:

 The unresolved issues and ongoing rifts with members of the royal family are another significant factor. Meghan’s decision to stay away signals her desire to avoid further confrontation and drama. Her relationship with the royals, particularly following the couple’s tell-all interviews, remains fraught with tension.

New Life in the US:

 Meghan and Harry have established a new life in California, complete with a growing family and burgeoning media ventures. Their focus is now on building their brand, philanthropic efforts, and personal projects. Returning to the UK could disrupt the stability and progress they’ve made.

Public and Media Reaction

Reactions to Meghan’s decision to stay away from the UK are mixed. Some people understand her desire to protect herself and her family from a toxic environment, while others view it as an abandonment of royal duties and responsibilities. The media continues to speculate on the underlying motivations and potential future implications of her absence.

Conclusion

Meghan Markle’s choice to stay away from the UK is due to a lot of personal, family, and public forces working together. She is determined to stay away from the royal family and the attention that comes with it. This shows that she wants to move on with her new life in the US. As she continues to make her way, it’s unclear how this choice will affect her relationships and how people see her.

The whole hall fell into ‘SILENCE’ when Antonio Banderas shouted at Harry at the Venice Film Festival: ‘TRAITOR, NO ONE WILL CALL YOU PRINCE ANYMORE’

Antonio Banderas made headlines with an explosive outburst at the Venice Film Festival, leading to a dramatic encounter with Prince Harry. In the glamorous world of film festivals where artistry often intersects with unexpected drama, few could have anticipated the confrontation that unfolded this year.

Dressed in a sleek tuxedo, Antonio Banderas, a seasoned star of international cinema, found himself in a heated exchange that left onlookers stunned. While signing autographs on the red carpet for his latest film, *Baby Girl*, Banderas’s demeanor shifted from charming to furious upon spotting Prince Harry. In a surprising turn of events, he angrily threw his pen toward the royal, sparking a firestorm of speculation about celebrity culture, loyalty, and the impact of personal choices in the public eye.

The Venice Film Festival is renowned not only for its films but also for attracting a myriad of dazzling personalities. On this particular day, amid the shouts of fans and the flash of cameras, Banderas was engaging warmly with admirers and showcasing the charisma that has endeared him to many. However, the atmosphere took a dramatic turn when Prince Harry appeared. Witnesses reported that Banderas’s reaction was one of disbelief and anger. He appeared genuinely shocked to see Harry and, in a moment of indignation, referred to him as a “traitor” before hurling his pen in the prince’s direction.This incident has left many questioning what could have triggered such a reaction from the typically composed actor. The clash between Banderas and Harry is set against the backdrop of modern celebrity and royal life complexities. Prince Harry, once a beloved member of the British royal family, has faced intense scrutiny since stepping back from his royal duties and relocating to the United States. His revelations about his life within the monarchy, struggles with mental health, and candid discussions about racism have polarized public opinion. While some admire his courage, others view his actions as a betrayal of his royal heritage.

 

Antonio Banderas, embodying the passion and intensity of a true artist, has built a career on portraying characters with deep emotional struggles and complex moral dilemmas. For Banderas, Harry’s departure from royal responsibilities and his outspoken nature may have seemed at odds with the loyalty and dedication he values.

As news of the incident spread, media outlets quickly framed it as a dramatic confrontation between Hollywood and royalty. Social media erupted with reactions ranging from outrage to amusement. Memes depicting Banderas as a vigilante hero confronting perceived disloyalty circulated widely, while others criticized his impulsive behavior, arguing that he should have handled the situation with more grace. This episode highlights the often bizarre nature of celebrity culture, where raw emotion can quickly become public fodder.

The juxtaposition of Banderas’s passionate outburst against the backdrop of a prestigious film festival reveals the thin veneer of civility that often masks deeper societal tensions. At the heart of the incident is a discussion about loyalty—both personal and public. For many, loyalty to family, country, or tradition is paramount. Banderas’s outburst may reflect a broader sentiment among those who feel that Harry’s choices undermine these values. The concept of loyalty is complex, particularly in a world where personal happiness and public expectation frequently collide. Critics argue that Harry has turned his back on his family and the institution he was born into, viewing his actions as a betrayal of a longstanding legacy. Supporters, however, believe that true loyalty involves remaining true to oneself, even if it means diverging from tradition.

The reaction from Banderas can be seen as a microcosm of this larger debate, illustrating how public figures grapple with societal expectations. The emotional weight of these expectations can lead to explosive reactions, revealing the vulnerabilities of even the most polished celebrities.

In the days following the encounter, both Banderas and Prince Harry became the focus of discussions about celebrity behavior and accountability. Banderas issued a statement expressing regret for his outburst but maintained his stance on the importance of loyalty. Meanwhile, Prince Harry chose to concentrate on his philanthropic work and mental health advocacy, acknowledging the media frenzy but emphasizing his commitment to his new path and causes.

The fallout from the incident has sparked renewed interest in the lives of both men, prompting discussions about their journeys, struggles, and roles in contemporary society. This startling encounter transcends its immediate context, offering a lens through which to examine broader cultural shifts. It underscores the friction between traditional values and modern perspectives, raising questions about how we define loyalty and the sacrifices individuals make in pursuit of authenticity.

As we continue to follow the lives of both Banderas and Prince Harry, one thing remains clear: in the world of fame, nothing is ever quite as it seems. Every encounter can reveal profound truths about the human condition, reminding us of the complexities of celebrity culture and the personal battles fought behind the scenes.

Meghan Markle slammed for bad judgment, Prince Harry called a ‘lamb to the slaughter’ in scathing critique

Royal author Tina Brown previously wrote a bombshell book titled ‘The Palace Papers’

Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, has written a new book, “My Mother and I.” It details the monarchs upbringing and his relationship with Queen Elizabeth II.

Royal author Tina Brown is not holding back when it comes to the monarchy.

The former Vanity Fair editor slammed Meghan Markle and “naïve” Prince Harry in a scathing critique after they exited from their royal duties.

“In England, they’re going to constantly make a career out of trashing Harry. But actually, the thing about Harry is he’s very good at being Prince Harry,” Brown, 70, said on “The Ankler” podcast.

“That’s the tragedy of all of this, is that he is the most talented member of the royal family, without doubt, in terms of being a prince, which is all he does know how to do… he’s really sort of flawless at it.”

However, Brown gave her honest perspective on the Duchess of Sussex, “I think he’s pretty much in the thrall of Meghan. The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world… She’s flawless about getting it all wrong… She really is.”

Brown added, “She’s a perfectionist about getting it all wrong… Her issue is that she doesn’t listen… She has all these people, asks them their opinion, and then doesn’t follow it. She does what she wants to do. And all of her ideas are total crap, unfortunately.”

The royal author continued to criticize how the couple left the monarchy in 2020.

Brown shared that since Harry’s been married to Markle, “he’s the lamb to the slaughter in this situation.” (Getty Images)

“He’s so naïve and really… unschooled in the ways of the world. Being Prince Harry means that I doubt if he ever booked a table in a restaurant. The army was great for him, and he was extremely good and competent in there. That really helped turn him into a real person.”

Brown claimed that since Harry’s been married to Markle, “he’s the lamb to the slaughter in this situation.”

“He was terribly impressed by Meghan. He thought that she knew all, she persuaded him that she was the savvy Hollywood wheeler-dealer who could come in and make them stars and all the rest of it. And he just sort of blindly followed her like a child, really.”

Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for Prince Harry and Markle for comment.

After their exit, Harry and Markle moved to Montecito, California. They’re raising their two kids in the United States and the Duke of Sussex continues to be estranged from his royal family, including his brother Prince William and father, King Charles III.

“Unfortunately, she made every mistake in the book, and she’s kind of run out of road. I don’t know where Meghan goes. Harry could still, as I say, make a comeback. He’ll always be Prince Harry. He’ll always be the grandson of the queen and the son of Diana.”

Brown’s comments come after the royal couple spoke candidly about the monarchy after their exit.

In 2021, one year after their decision to step down as senior members of the royal family, Harry and Markle revealed their struggles with royal life in a two-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey.

After the explosive interview with Winfrey, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continued to speak out about their experiences within the royal family.

Prince Harry and Markle detailed their time as working royals in a docuseries released by Netflix in 2022, and Harry followed that up with his memoir, “Spare.” The book detailed the issues in his relationships with King Charles, Prince William, his stepmother Queen Camilla and more.

As for Brown, she has been known to criticize the royal family in the past.

In 2022, she claimed that Prince William was “smart” for waiting 10 years before proposing to Kate Middleton.

At the time, Brown had written a book about the British royal family titled “The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor – the Truth and the Turmoil.”

The book explored “the scandals, love affairs, power plays and betrayals” that have rocked the royals during the last 20 years. It featured revelations based on Brown’s access to palace insiders.

Representatives for Brown did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Meghan’s ex-husband unexpectedly demands a $100 million compensation after their divorce, prompting the Duchess’s birth mother to step in and “rescue her daughter.”

Meghan’s ex-husband unexpectedly demands a $100 million compensation after their divorce, prompting the Duchess’s birth mother to step in and “rescue her daughter.”

 

Meghan Markle may have married into the royal family and on the cusp of motherhood, ready to look after her own bub – but it doesn’t mean her mum Doria Ragland won’t be by her side.

The Duchess of Sussex’s mother is said to have come to her daughter’s defence after reported surfaced that her ex-husband and American actor Trevor Engelson had plans to launch a TV comedy based on their failed marriage.

According to British newspaper The Sun, “Doria Ragland, who is currently preparing to head to Windsor for the imminent arrival of Baby Sussex, was previously dispatched by the Duchess of Sussex to confront her ex-husband Trevor Engelson about his plans to launch a TV comedy based on the couple’s failed marriage.”

The comedy sparked a lot of conversations, with the executive producer of hit TV show Modern Family working on it with Trevor via Fox Studios.

 

It was expected that fans would follow the story which saw the ex-husband of a British princess struggle with having to share custody of their (fictitious) child with a princess in England.

The storyline had obvious comparisons to Meghan and Prince Harry’s public marriage,  therefore The Duchess heavily opposed the comedy, particularly as it planned to make fun of the royal romance on a weekly basis.

The Sun suggests Meghan’s mother “is believed to have maintained a friendly relationship with Trevor – and her intervention seems to have worked. He ended up agreeing to drop the comedy altogether.”

Meghan and Trevor began dating in 2004 and tied the knot in 2011. He was a producer on her famous legal drama Suits.

The Duchess is yet to make any formal announcement about the TV show.

An explosive new documentary about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is set to spark fresh debate about the couple.

The documentary, which promises fresh revelations about Harry and Meghan, will debut at 8.15pm on December 3. It will explore Harry’s struggles within the Royal Family and the broader impact of his personal quest for a meaningful role, following his exit from royal duties in 2020.

“The Royal Family has to deal with difficult developments and regroup after ‘Megxit’, the death of the Queen and Charles and Kate’s cancer. What role will Harry play in the future?” a promo for the prime-time special states.

The description continues: “Even in his self-imposed exile in Montecito, California, he remains a figure of public interest. His commitment to charitable organisations – such as the Invictus Games he founded for wounded servicemen and women – always puts him in the spotlight.”

The film will also touch on how the Duke has “always struggled with his role as a ‘reserve’”. The promo claims: “His disclosures in recent years have caused a lot of trouble within the family.”

“Old versus young, traditional versus modern – the family conflict in the House of Windsor reflects the debate about the future of the British monarchy and its value for society,” the network adds.

The makers of the doc, including award-winning filmmaker Ulrike Grunewald, travelled to New York to speak with sources close to the Sussexes and filmed in California, where Harry and Meghan live. The team behind the film also previously produced a special on Princess Kate and The Drama of the Windsors.

It comes amid news of Harry’s own upcoming documentary series. It was announced on Wednesday that POLO, a five-episode docuseries produced by Harry and Meghan, will officially debut on December 10. The highly-anticipated show follows polo players “on and off the field” as they compete in the US Open Polo Championships.

Netflix shared the news and said: “Through fierce rivalries and intense training, viewers will get an unprecedented glimpse into the dedication and skill required to compete at the sport’s highest level.” It is well known that the Duke of Sussex has played polo for decades and is a huge fan of the equestrian sport.

“From a young player pushed to his limits by his demanding father, to a former golfer who’s made significant sacrifices for the love of the sport, to the father-son duo widely regarded as the greatest players of all time — they all face intense personal and professional challenges as they vie for the coveted title,” Netflix explained.
