When Cruz Beckham saw his dad’s documentary about his life he was left amazed by his ex-Manchester United father’s footballing prowess.

Victoria Beckham has opened up about her husband David’s award winning documentary – revealing son Cruz didn’t know how “good” his father was at football until he saw it.

The former Spice Girl turned fashion designer spoke to Harper’s Bazaar about the impact of her husband’s Netflix show Beckham – ahead of her own upcoming docu-series.

Soccer legend David won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups and the Champions League during his career with Manchester United, before going on to play with Real Madrid and LA Galaxy.

But Victoria, 50, said it took a TV show about the ex-winger to make 19-year-old Cruz appreciate his dad’s success.

She said: “It was funny, actually. Cruz was like: ‘I didn’t realise that dad was so good at football.’

“You forget it was a long time ago. They were always at the games, but they were really little, and too young to understand.”

The mother-of-four also talks the public shaming of her husband after he was red carded during the 1988 World Cup. He was sent off in a match against Argentina, which England then lost.

She admits she would struggle to deal with anything similar happening to Romeo – who is following in his father’s footsteps, playing for Brentford B.

She said: “When it happened, David was the same age that Romeo is now. That’s a lot for a 22-year-old. When you’re in it, there’s that sink-or-swim feeling, and you just get on with it. And we had each other, and the rest is history.

“But the thought of my Romeo having to go through it … I don’t know how he would handle that. I don’t know how anyone would handle that. But we didn’t have a choice.”

Now Victoria has picked up the entrepreneur gong at the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards 2024.

She appears on one of a suite of covers for the magazine’s December/January issue – wowing in elegant black and white.

And in a interview with the magazine the mother of four talks about her pride in her clothing and beauty business, – and how she used to enjoy being chased by the Paparazzi, but doesn’t any more.

“You have to go through those times to make you, ultimately, who you are,” she says.

“I suppose it used to be fun to go out and be chased by paparazzi walking down Bond Street – and you would dress knowing you were going to get that. I don’t want that any more.

“I’ve been doing this too long. I suppose I did when I was growing up but, nowadays, there’s just too much going on; too busy; too many kids to worry about.

“I woke up at 50, and I gave a s*** less.”

Victoria’s new Netflix documentary is less personal than her husband’s, according to the interview in https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/victoriabeckham

While there will be elements of family life and the kids, Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, and Harper, 13, she said it would focus on her business , which turned a profit for the first time last year.

“It’s slightly more targeted on the entrepreneur, the designer of the brand. ..it’s really shining a light on the business, especially for America, That’s the main reason for doing this.”

She added: “The company has been through so much over the last 17 years – ups, downs, restructuring… it’s been quite the journey.

“There was a point when this brand was all fires, and every day we were putting them out. But when I created the fragrance, that’s when I believe that we turned from a brand into a house.

“I’ve spent years building the damn foundations. Now I can start really building the house.

“A friend was talking to one of the kids recently, and they said I was a builder. And that’s what I am.”

The December/January issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK is on sale from November 6.

Victoria Beckham has admitted she no longer cares about being a celebrity after turning 50 as she passes the baton to her daughter Harper.

The fashion designer discussed how she has nativated being in the public eye since she soared to stardom as part of the Spice Girls in the nineties during a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine.

The mother of four admitted it ‘used to be fun’ getting dressed up and being snapped by the paparazzi in a stylish outfit, however she admitted she no longer cares for it.

Speaking about protecting her privacy, she said: ”You have to go through those times to make you, ultimately, who you are. We’ve kind of figured out how to be quite discreet, which is just how we want to conduct our lives right now.

‘I suppose it used to be fun to go out and be chased by paparazzi walking down Bond Street – and you would dress knowing you were going to get that. I don’t want that any more.’

‘I’ve been doing this too long. I suppose I did when I was growing up but, nowadays, there’s just too much going on; too busy; too many kids to worry about. I woke up at 50, and I gave a s*** less.’

While she may be keen to step away from the spotlight, it has been reported that Victoria and David have plotted a secret multi-million pound career move to launch daughter Harper, 13, into the industry.

Harper has already made it known she wants to follow in the footsteps of her fashion designer mother and hopes to create an ‘amazing brand’ when she’s older.

And it appears her famous parents are edging her one step closer by setting up a business to funnel any future earnings for the rising star.

Discussing Harper’s upcoming appearance in her new Netflix documentary, she said: ‘It’s slightly more targeted on the entrepreneur, the designer of the brand. It’s not going to be as personal. I realise that I am a bit of a travelling circus, even when I’m at work, but this is very fashion-focused.

‘And, obviously, there’ll be elements of the kids, you know – Harper’s going to come in on Monday and do her fitting for the show.

‘So they’ll film that. But it’s really shining a light on the business, especially for America. That’s the main reason for doing this.’

According to The Sun, Victoria has incorporated a business called H7B Limited, which matches the teenager’s full name, Harper Seven Beckham.

H7B also has the former Spice Girl and a solicitor listed as a director.

The clever move could be prepping Harper for her successful career ahead, with a number of brands already reaching out to collaborate.

A source told the publication: ‘So far, Harper has been kept quite private. But there is huge demand from brands who see her as someone lots of other teens would look up to.

‘Posh and Becks can see her potential and she wants to try some things out in the public eye. The wheels are in motion to slowly book some jobs for her.’

The Sun also claimed that a source close to the Beckhams said: ‘Right now, this is purely an administrative thing. David and Victoria have no immediate plans for anything commercial.

‘It’s simply an exciting and fun option for Harper further down the line.’ MailOnline have contact David and Victoria’s representatives for a comment.

Although Harper heavily features on her famous family’s social media, she currently doesn’t have her own account.

But to ease her into the industry, Victoria has previously posted videos of Harper filming makeup tutorials with her mother’s brand.

At Victoria’s launch party for her latest perfume Reverie in New York, Harper headed to the sensory immersion exhibit to write down their dreams and put them on a wall.

To play on the product’s name Reverie – meaning to daydream – Harper wrote on two pieces of card she hoped she would ‘create an amazing brand when I’m older’.

The teenager also wished for ‘everyone to happy in life’.

Delighted at Harper dreams of achieving her very own brand, Victoria wrote: ‘Harper Seven following in mummy’s footsteps and putting her hopes and dreams out there’.

Her passion for fashion was cemented from an early age as she accompanied Victoria on shoots and mingling amongst a host of top designers.

Over the summer, Victoria revealed that Harper created a PowerPoint presentation to try and convince her to let her have a perm.

In an interview with Grazia, she shared how Harper is wanting to start and try some beauty treatments.

She told how she created the presentation on the computer and showed it to her and David in the hopes of letting her take a trip to the hairdressers.

Harper has long straight blonde hair and a perm uses chemicals to make naturally straight hair curly.

However despite Harper going to the effort of making the PowerPoint – Victoria admitted that her response to the request was ‘absolutely not’.

Victoria explained her negative response was born from a bad personal experience of having a perm when she was a teenager.

Last month, Harper’s older brother Romeo, 22, made his Paris Fashion Week catwalk debut after he walked the Balenciaga show as he cemented his foray into fashion – after ditching his football career

Meanwhile, David and Victoria’s eldest son and budding chef Brooklyn, 25, recently announced the launch of his new condiment brand Cloud23, which is now available exclusively at Whole Foods shops in the UK

 Last month, Harper’s older brother Romeo, 22, made his Paris Fashion Week catwalk debut after he walked the Balenciaga show as he cemented his foray into fashion.

It was revealed that Romeo had reportedly left his Premier League football club, despite being offered a new contract by Brentford FC in June, to pursue a fashion career.

Fully committing to fashion, Romeo recently signed with top Paris fashion agency Safe Management. 

A promising football prospect in his youth, Romeo drifted away from the game after being released by Arsenal in 2015 and turned his attention towards a career in tennis.

However, Romeo announced he intended on a return to football in 2020 before joining dad David’s MLS franchise Inter Miami the following year.

Romeo’s first big break in the fashion world came when he was just 10-years-old as he took his first modelling assignment for Burberry.

Following in his mother’s footsteps from a young age, Romeo was undaunted on set as was described ‘amazing, incredible and a little joy’ who kept everyone entertained as he was ‘bouncing around’.

Meanwhile, David and Victoria’s eldest son and budding chef Brooklyn, 25, recently announced the launch of his new condiment brand Cloud23, which is now available exclusively at Whole Foods shops in the UK.

Cloud 23 is named after the No.23 jersey his father David Beckham wore at Real Madrid and LA Galaxy.

‘I did my research and I just felt like there was this hole in the market with luxury condiments, especially for a really good price,’ he told Delish magazine, explaining why he was drawn to launching a range of hot sauces.

To many royal onlookers’ delight, Princess Kate made a surprise public appearance in Southport last month. The visit followed an emotional September 9 video, in which she announced she officially completed her preventative chemotherapy treatment and would be returning to work in a reduced capacity. Such circumstances means the princess will be picking and choosing her engagements. While her husband, Prince William, will be jetting off to South Africa this month, Middleton will be staying behind. Even so, royal experts suggest this trip signals a hopeful sign for Middleton’s health.

The heir will travel to Cape Town for the Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony on November 6. The Princess of Wales regularly accompanies William for the annual event. However, this year, she will remain an home with their kids, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.

“Prince William has made it clear his family, their wellbeing and their privacy come first,” royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Express. “Catherine has been undergoing preventative chemotherapy for cancer, as she has so movingly told us, and though she has finished chemotherapy, she has said she still has a long way to go.”

However, according to Fitzwilliams, William would not even consider leaving his wife unless she felt comfortable.

“William would undoubtedly not be going to South Africa, even though the trip is for the fourth Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony, if he did not feel that she was doing well and was happy coping with the family in his absence,” he told the publication.

Even though the Earthshot Prize, an award given to five game-changing innovations to repair the planet, is something William holds very dear to his chest, Middleton is his priority.

“The prize is his brainchild, but we know that they are a devoted couple and what his priorities are, and that he feels able to go is another encouraging sign that she is doing well,” Fitzwilliams added.

King Charles is apparently hesitant to make up with his son Prince Harry—and not just because of the ongoing royal family drama.

According to a new report from The Telegraph, Charles fears that there could be legal ramifications if he tries to reestablish his relationship with Harry given his long-running legal case against the U.K. government to reinstate his police security in the country.

“Here you have the infelicitous situation where the King’s son is suing the King’s ministers in the King’s courts. That is pulling the King in three directions,” a senior constitutional expert and advisor to the royal family told biographer Robert Hardman. “You also have the situation where the King’s son publishes accounts of private conversations, some of which have been, shall we say, wrong.”

Getty

The source is likely referring to reports that Harry “misremembered” some of the private conversations between family members that were mentioned in his 2023 tell-all memoir Spare.

“So imagine the situation if the prince were to talk to his father about his court case and then later to describe that conversation—or, worse, a conversation which was not entirely accurate,” Hardman continued in the report. “There would be serious legal jeopardy. Harry would only have to say, ‘My father said this’ and a court case could collapse.”

While Harry and Charles’s relationship remains rocky partially due to his security-related lawsuits, the Duke of Sussex’s wife, Meghan Markle, is reportedly urging her husband to “let go” of his court cases for a different reason.

A former employee of the couple’s Archewell Foundation previously told People that Markle “supports Harry 100 percent, but she wishes he could let go of these lawsuits, be happy and live in the moment.” The ex-staffer added, “She wants him to be free of all of this, but she also knows that because of everything he’s been through and his love for [her and their children], he can’t. She wants him to live in a world where he is not burdened by this.”

After a year that has seen Kate Middleton battle cancer and complete chemotherapy, the Princess of Wales has been looking towards faith in order to find inner peace.

Royal biographer Robert Hardman wrote in the updated version of his book, Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, that Middleton has been turning to religion in recent months, with family friends backing up the claims.

“The Princess, on the other hand, is said to have become rather more interested in questions of faith as a result of her condition,” Hardman wrote in the book. Meanwhile, a church-going friend of the royal family told the biographer, “‘I would say that things are more hopeful there,’” which the writer noted as “further subtle indications of the different outlooks and generational styles of the King and his elder son.”

Middleton’s condition reportedly hasn’t inspired Prince William to seek comfort in religion, though. A source told Hardman that William is “a modern young man” that “gets embarrassed by certain aspects of ceremonial and religion.”

The biographer added that the “Prince’s position, say those in a position to know, is that, when the time comes, he will observe all his constitutional obligations to the Church of England. He will not, however, suddenly become a regular worshipper or feign an enthusiasm for something that he does not feel personally, however bleak the situation.”

Middleton revealed that she completed her chemotherapy treatment in September; the princess, though she has made a few public appearances over the past few months, noted in her cancer update video that “doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes. I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.”

King Charles has reportedly severed financial ties with his younger brother, Prince Andrew. In an updated version of the book Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, author Robert Hardman claims that the King instructed the Keeper of the Privy Purse to remove the Duke of York’s £1 million annual allowance and to stop paying for his private security, per an excerpt published by The Daily Mail.

A source added that Andrew is “no longer a financial burden on the King.”

Hardman writes that the prince must now pay for the protection of historical art and furniture from the Royal Collection and several antiques he owns after he reportedly did not accept a proposal from the King to relocate from the Royal Lodge in Windsor to the “considerably smaller property” of Frogmore Cottage (the residence is now vacant after Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, were asked to move out in 2023).

“The Duke had certainly been faring better than expected since his brother succeeded to the throne,” Hardman wrote in his book. “He continued to enjoy access to Windsor facilities and a living allowance which, according to a well-sourced newspaper article, amounted to £1 million annually.”

He continued, “The cost of the private security contract to guard the property, which sits outside that Windsor cordon, was running at what one insider called ‘a substantial seven-figure sum annually.’ In August it was widely reported (and not disputed) that the King was no longer prepared to renew that contract beyond the autumn of 2024.”

Hardman added that if the Duke of York continued to reside at the Royal Lodge and rejected Charles’s offer to move to Frogmore Cottage, he was told that his brother “would feel no obligation to continue paying even his day-to-day living allowance.”

“In the late summer of this year, that patience ran out,” Hardman wrote. “The Duke informed the monarch that, regardless of any ultimatum, he was going to stay put at Royal Lodge anyway. At which point, the Keeper of the Privy Purse (the monarchy’s finance director) was instructed to sever his living allowance.”

Prince Andrew initially lost his publicly-funded police protection in 2022 after stepping away from royal duties. The move was prompted by a disastrous interview about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, which aired three years prior. At the time, the late Queen Elizabeth also stripped her son of his military titles and patronages.

Meghan Markle FURIOUS Over Doria Ragland SNUBBED from Moms of the Year List: Here’s Why!

Meghan Markle is reportedly enraged that her mother, Doria Ragland, was overlooked for the annual Moms of the Year list, a prestigious recognition celebrating exceptional mothers. Sources close to Meghan indicate that she feels Doria’s unwavering support and dedication as a mother should have earned her a place on this esteemed list, especially given the challenges they have faced as a family.

Doria has played a crucial role in Meghan’s life, providing emotional support throughout her journey in the royal family and beyond. From her difficult transition to royal life to navigating intense media scrutiny, Doria has always been a steadfast presence for Meghan and her family. Meghan’s frustration stems from a belief that Doria’s contributions to her upbringing and her resilience as a single mother deserve acknowledgment.

The snub has sparked discussions about the criteria used to determine who gets recognized on such lists. Many argue that the selection process often favors high-profile figures, overshadowing the hard work and sacrifices of mothers who may not be in the public eye but are equally deserving. Meghan’s anger reflects a broader concern among mothers everywhere about recognition and validation, especially for those who work tirelessly behind the scenes.

Moreover, the omission has raised questions about how society values different kinds of motherhood. Doria, who has faced her own share of challenges, including the complexities of her daughter’s royal life and the public’s relentless scrutiny, embodies the strength and resilience many mothers demonstrate daily. Meghan’s desire to advocate for her mother speaks volumes about the importance of family bonds and the role of mothers in shaping our lives.

The fallout from this incident has the potential to affect Meghan’s public image as she continues to advocate for various causes. Critics may view her anger as disproportionate, but supporters see it as a powerful statement about family loyalty and the importance of recognizing all mothers, regardless of their public status.

As Meghan continues to navigate her life in the spotlight, this incident serves as a reminder of the personal challenges she faces as a mother, daughter, and public figure. The story highlights the need for society to acknowledge the diverse experiences of motherhood, ensuring that all mothers, like Doria, receive the recognition they deserve.

During a recent visit to the Royal Surrey County Hospital, Prince William and Princess Catherine brought joy and warmth, especially when Prince William made a playful remark about the possibility of a fourth child. This light-hearted moment occurred after Catherine was photographed tenderly holding a newborn, sparking discussions and speculation among royal fans about whether the couple might expand their family. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge already have three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—but William’s cheeky comment reignited curiosity.

Catherine’s visit to the hospital’s maternity ward was particularly moving. She was photographed cradling a six-week premature newborn, highlighting her genuine maternal instincts and compassion for families facing the challenges of premature births. The photos captured her smiling tenderly at the infant, which resonated with many who admire her deep empathy for families and children, a quality she has consistently shown throughout her royal duties.

For Catherine, this visit held extra significance as it marked her return to public life following her completion of preventive chemotherapy treatments. After announcing that she had successfully finished her treatments, she has been praised for her bravery and resilience. Her hospital visit not only underscored her dedication to royal duties but also demonstrated her connection to the people she meets, especially parents and families.

Catherine has long been committed to championing early childhood development, making this hospital visit particularly meaningful. Her interaction with new mothers and babies highlighted her ongoing focus on maternal and child health, blending her personal experience as a mother with her public role. These moments, where she interacts directly with families, emphasize her relatability and endear her further to the public.

While Prince William’s playful comment about a potential fourth child may have been in jest, it fueled speculation about the possibility. Royal insiders have noted that Catherine has expressed a desire for four children, though William has previously felt content with three. However, given Catherine’s love for children, there is always a possibility she could sway her husband.

This heartwarming hospital visit was a testament to Catherine’s growing role in the royal family, especially as she re-emerges into public life following months of medical treatment. Her decision to undergo preventive chemotherapy was met with widespread admiration, and now, with her treatments behind her, she is embracing her royal responsibilities with renewed energy. Her ability to connect personally with families and her compassionate presence continues to inspire those she meets, showcasing her strength both as a royal and as a mother.

As royal fans speculate about the couple’s future, Catherine’s focus remains on her vital work, particularly her advocacy for early childhood development, maternal health, and family well-being. Her presence at the hospital was a reminder of her ongoing commitment to these important issues, and her lasting impact on the people she meets ensures that her contributions will continue to inspire for years to come. Whether or not baby number four is on the horizon, Catherine’s role in the royal family and society is more essential than ever.

After six seasons filled with royal drama, the Emmy award winning Netflix series is set to take its final bow.

The last season hit the streaming service today, winding back the clock the late ninties and early noughties as Queen Elizabeth navigates an especially challenging time for the House of Windsor.

The final instalment is likely to be the show’s most emotional yet as the first four episodes portray the tragic death of Princess Diana – an event that shook Britain and the world.

Season six will be split into two parts with the second section focusing on the union of Camilla Parker Bowles and King Charles III, alongside the early relationship of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Taking on the part of  controversial Prince Andrew is James Murray.

The Duke of York has not been as present in the public eye since sexual assault allegations were brought against him by Virginia Giuffre.

The second son of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh was also criticised for his close friendship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

British fans may recognise Murray,  who plays the royal, as he has previously featured in numerous shows, such as Cutting It, Defiance and Primeval.

Adding to his list of acting accomplishments, the actor will also be featured in the upcoming series Master of the Air on Apple TV+.

There’s little point in spending £16million on an extravagant superyacht if you haven’t go some equally extravagant friends to share it with.

Fortunately for David and Victoria Beckham, close pals Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber were on hand to enjoy the very best their sprawling new boat has to offer.

The foursome made an appearance at Miami Marina on Monday, where the Beckham family’s pride and joy was moored, before venturing out for a cruise across the Atlantic.

Victoria, 50, caught the eye in a thigh-skimming black summer dress as she walked barefoot across the deck, a large leather tote bag slung across one shoulder.

With temperatures soaring across the Florida coast, the fashion designer stayed cool beneath a baseball cap ahead of their latest cruise.

The Beckham’s newly purchased waterfront mega mansion is only a few blocks from Cindy and Rande’s Miami Beach home.

Meanwhile supermodel Cindy looked as chic as ever as she sported a pair of white linen trousers with a navy unbuttoned shirt.

She paired the summery look with a white cowboy hat and had a pair of sunglasses hanging from her shirt.

Spotted aboard their superyacht earlier in the day, Victoria and David proved they still had lots in common after 25-years of marriage as they read books by the same author amid their sun-soaked Miami getaway on Friday.

The former Spice Girl, 50, and ex footballer, 49, topped up their tans onboard the family’s £16M superyacht while leafing through chilling thrillers by American writer  Freida McFadden.

Victoria put on a very leggy display in a pair of tiny cut off denim shorts which she wore with black T-shirt and baseball cap as she read Never Lie.

Meanwhile David showcased his toned and tattooed physique and went shirtless while appearing engrossed in his paperback copy of The Housemaid’s Secret, the second in a series.

Unable to put their books down the couple later took them ashore as they were helped off the vessel by a member of the crew.

It comes after Cindy and her family showed their support for Brooklyn Beckham last month as they attended his swanky launch party for his £15-a-bottle hot sauce Cloud 23 at Bar Marmont in LA.

Cindy, who was joined by Rande, looked incredible as she cut a stylish figure in a satin black top which boasted a lace insert at the side.

She teamed the top with a black leather biker jacket, which hung loosely over her shoulders, and donned a pair of dark blue denim flared jeans.

Cindy added inches to her slender frame with a pair of black high heels and further accessorised with a rose gold bangle.

Meanwhile, her husband Rande cut a more laidback figure as he sported a grey T-shirt and a khaki denim overshirt.

He teamed the shirt with a pair of dark blue denim jeans and sported a pair of casual brown trainers.

Presley Gerber, 25, and his girlfriend Isabella Jones also joined his mother and father, who are close pals with the Beckhams, at the event.
