Former England football captain David Beckham has said filming the Netflix documentary series of his life “made me feel uncomfortable” as he praised director Fisher Stevens for bringing “something different out in me”.

Speaking at the Royal Television Society (RTS) London Conference, Beckham was asked by presenter Jane Featherstone how he could make an “authentic documentary” about himself with his Studio 99 firm.

Beckham said director Fisher Stevens and other “great people” working with him had made it possible.

The former footballer also spoke about the upcoming documentary on his wife Victoria (Ian West/PA)
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid winger said: “Fisher made me feel uncomfortable from the moment we sat down to talk to the moment I finished.

“And I really needed that because I needed a director to come at it from a different angle.

“You know, everyone kind of knows my career and my life and things like that.

“So I needed someone like him to bring something different out in me.

“I never saw any other clips. I never saw anything until the moment I watched it at the premiere.

“It was quite emotional, but it was just one of those things that I knew that I was going to make, and if I was going to make it, I was going to make it once.

“But it was special, it was a special, special time.”

Beckham also spoke about a new Netflix series his studio was working on, on the life of his wife Victoria, which he will be the producer on.

The 49-year-old said: “I’m really excited about this one with Victoria, because she is an amazing woman.

“She is a strong, driven, passionate person that has gone from being a Spice Girl, as you you all know, and to be respected in this industry is very tough.

“It’s very tough, and she’s worked hard for the last 17, 18 years on her business, and all of a sudden she’s having the success that she really deserves, and no one really sees what she does.

“No one really sees the amount of work that she puts in, she’s over everything from where people sit at the show to what they wear, to everything that goes into her business.

“She’s over every single piece, and I want people to see that.

“It was hard to convince her to to do this, but I think she’d been such a big part of the process with Netflix, and she was like, I love these people, and I love the way they work, and if we can work in this way, and we can do this, so it’s an exciting time.

“I think she’s going to do something that’s very special, and people are going to see her personality and just her work ethic.”

Victoria rose to fame as part of the Spice Girls, and was known as Posh Spice, and later embarked on a solo music career in the 2000s before launching her own fashion label.

The couple have been married since 1999, and the Netflix documentary Beckham enjoyed a viral moment when David was filmed interrupting Victoria talking about her childhood to instruct her to “be honest” and admit that her father drove a Rolls-Royce.

Former footballer David, who owns MLS franchise Inter Miami, also spoke about setting up Studio 99, which he said was something he had “always had in mind” while playing, and added that making documentaries was something he had “always enjoyed” after his professional football retirement.

He said: “When I retired, which is 11 years ago, from playing I made two documentaries and it was Into The Unknown, For The Love Of The Game.

“And I love the process, so setting up the studio was something I always had in mind.”

Beckham’s Studio 99 has produced documentaries including 99, about Manchester United’s treble-winning season, Beckham, a documentary about himself, and Ronnie O’Sullivan The Edge Of Everything.

‘I mean how cool is this? I literally have a catwalk in the gym.’

The star then chuckled before whispering to herself: ‘Oh my god’.

Victoria has since lifted the lid on her marriage to England legend David for a new Disney+ documentary.

In a new docuseries In Vogue: The 90s, she revealed how her husband David bought a brand new Prada suit just to ‘impress her’ on their first date after she said she liked the brand.

Gushing about her love for designer clothes, Victoria recalled: ‘Versace, Prada, and Gucci, they were my go-to designers. What was it they were getting right at the time? I suppose they really understood the power of celebrity.

‘The Italians embraced that. When I first met David in 1997 he’d heard that I was the Spice Girl that liked the designer clothes.’

Victoria told the camera: ‘So, after me going to a couple of football matches and I would say, you know, me sort of like, pursuing him, he’d probably say me stalking him, we arranged to go out on a date together.

‘He’s like, “I don’t know what to wear, she’s the one who likes designer clothes,” and so he actually went out and bought himself a full Prada look for our first date, to impress me.’

Elsewhere in the highly-anticipated new documentary, Victoria revealed how she copied Linda Evangelista after becoming ‘completely obsessed’ with the supermodel.

She explained that she became so interested in the 90s icon that she went to the same salon Linda used and even emulated her haircut.

She said: ‘[Linda] was the reason why I cut my hair, the reason why I dyed my hair lots of different colours. I was in New York, and I went to Garren, who was Linda’s hairdresser.

‘When he cut all my hair off. I was channelling my inner Linda.’

Victoria Beckham revealed her love for fashion started when she was a child in new Disney+ documentary In Vogue: The 90s.

In Vogue: The 90s invites viewers to go behind the curtains of the 1990s’ most defining fashion moments with numerous big names – including the very ones who made the moments happen.

The final episode of the doc sees Victoria, 50, opening up about what began her love of fashion, which would eventually lead to her becoming a world-renowned designer.

The Spice Girl shared: ‘When I was a little girl I lived in Hertfordshire. I loved brands, I loved the idea of luxury.

‘My mum’s friend used to wear a lot of Chanel fragrance. When she finished it she would drain the bottle and give it to me I used to put them all out on my window because I loved how they looked.

‘I remember one time she gave me the empty bottles in a plastic Gucci carrier bag. I would carry my school books in this Gucci carrier bag every day until the bottom fell out. I felt so special.’

Victoria added: ‘In the Mama video I was wearing a pair of Tom Ford Gucci trousers and there was a slit detail in the trousers, and a little bikini top. It was sexy for a video I was in with my mum, which was bizarre but it didn’t matter, because it was Gucci’

The fashion designer opened up about the beginning of her relationship with husband David Beckham, 49.

Victoria and David share three children: Harper Seven, 13, Cruz, 19, Romeo, 22, and Brooklyn, 25.

Romeo turned 22 on September 1, and his family threw him a lavish second birthday party at London restaurant Ambassadors Clubhouse.

An 80-strong crowd transformed the Punjabi-themed restaurant it into their own private nightclub.

Big brother Brooklyn sent his apologies.

Victoria Beckham made sure to put on a chic display as she visited her London boutique with her mum Jackie Adams on Wednesday.

Elsewhere, David, 49, enjoyed the BOSS fashion show during Milan Fashion Week where he was seen catching up with his high profile pal Anna Wintour.

In Milan, David, 49, cut a smart figure as he opted for a navy suit and matching polo neck jumper.

He took his seat on the front row next to Vogue fashion icon Anna, 74, with the pair deep in conversation as they waited for the show to begin.

Anna looked effortlessly chic as she opted for a wine-coloured red floor length leather jacket.

Underneath the leather ensemble she wore a blue and white brushstroke patterned dress and her signature Chanel sunglasses.

It’s not the first time the pair have been seen together, after they last posed together at the Beckham documentary screening in New York City back in May.

Anna also sat front row beside David at his wife Victoria’s fashion show last September as she unveiled her latest collection.

Brooklyn, his wife Nicola Peltz, Cruz and Harper joined their dad on the front row for the ex-Spice Girl’s Parisian parade, along with Vogue editor-in-chief herself.

 There has been a jaw dropping twist in the saga with King Charles III and Queen Camilla reportedly reduced to tears as Princess Anne Prince William stage surprise move The royal family are said to be reeling from the development, with wider ramifications that have caused deep anguish for both the monarch and his wife.

 

 

All the drama erupted after rumors sparked that Princess Anne and Prince William came to a shocking conclusion, what has apparently gone on to alter how things in royal family work.  Details of the move remain somewhat murky, but sources indicate that it involved a significant shift in royal duties or a public stance that was at odds with the expectations and plans of King Charles and Camilla.

According to insiders, the move by Anne and William was perceived as a direct challenge to King Charles’s authority and vision for the monarchy. The decision, which has been described as a dramatic departure from established royal protocols, has reportedly left Charles and Camilla feeling betrayed and heartbroken.

The reaction from King Charles and Camilla has been one of deep emotional distress, with the couple reportedly struggling to come to terms with the implications of this unexpected development. The tears shed by the monarch and his wife reflect the gravity of the situation and the strain it has placed on their relationship with other members of the royal family.

The nature of Princess Anne and Prince William’s move has sparked widespread speculation and intrigue, with many wondering about the motivations behind their actions and the potential fallout for the royal family. The incident has highlighted ongoing tensions within the monarchy and has raised questions about the future direction of the royal family under King Charles’s reign.

As the situation continues to unfold, royal watchers and the public will be keenly observing the responses from both sides and the impact of this dramatic turn of events on the royal family’s public image and internal relationships. The emotional turmoil experienced by King Charles and Camilla underscores the personal and political complexities that come with leading the British monarchy.

 

Prince Harry’s 40th birthday was typically an occasion that would be marked with grand fanfare and high-profile attendance. However, his recent celebrations have reportedly fallen flat, leaving many to question the state of the Duke of Sussex’s social standing and the dynamics within the Royal Family.

The highly anticipated party, which was supposed to be a significant milestone in the Prince’s life, was abruptly cancelled at the last minute due to a lack of high-profile guests willing to attend. This news has quickly spread, sparking a wave of controversy and speculation about the underlying reasons behind this apparent snub.

The initial reports suggest that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle had meticulously planned the event, inviting a host of celebrities, influential figures, and even members of the Royal Family. However, as the RSVP deadline approached, it became increasingly clear that the guest list was dwindling, with many A-listers declining the invitation.

“It was supposed to be the party of the year, but it seems that Harry and Meghan’s social capital has taken a significant hit,” commented royal expert Kinsey Schofield. “The lack of high-profile attendees is a telling sign of the couple’s current standing within the upper echelons of society.”

The strained relationship between the Duke of Sussex and the rest of the Royal Family is widely believed to be a contributing factor to the party’s downfall. Since stepping down as senior royals in 2020, Harry and Meghan have been embroiled in a series of public feuds and controversies which have reportedly alienated them from their relatives.

“The Royal Family is in a delicate position health-wise and do not trust Harry and Meghan,” Schofield added. “The rift between the brothers is very bad and it’s clear that William and the rest of the family are not eager to welcome the Sussexes back with open arms.”

The news of the cancelled party has also reignited discussions about the couple’s perceived desire for attention and their ability to maintain their celebrity status. Some critics have accused the Sussexes of orchestrating a lavish tour in an attempt to maintain their relevance. While others have questioned the authenticity of their philanthropic efforts.

“Harry and Meghan want the Royal Family to know that they don’t need them or their permission when they conduct trips like to Colombia,” Schofield explained. “But the reality is that they are struggling to maintain the level of attention and influence they once had.”

Despite the apparent setback, the Duke of Sussex has remained resolute in his commitment to making the world a better place. In a recent statement, he expressed his excitement about turning 40 and his determination to continue his charitable work.

“Becoming a father of two incredibly kind and funny kids has given me a fresh perspective on life as well as sharpening my focus in all my work,” Harry said. “Being a dad is one of life’s greatest joys and has only made me more driven and more committed to making this world a better place.”

However, the lack of enthusiasm for his birthday celebration has raised questions about the public’s perception of the Prince and the challenges he and Meghan face in navigating their post-Royal lives. Royal expert Ian Pelham-Turner believes that the Sussexes’ difficulties in finding trustworthy allies may be a contributing factor to the party downfall.

“The problem with Harry and Meghan right now is they do not know who they can trust,” Pelham-Turner claimed. “Being difficult may very well be them protecting their brand and personal rights.”

Meanwhile, royal expert Hillary Ford suggests that the Royal Family’s response to Harry’s birthday was in line with the established protocol during Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, where non-working royals only received public acknowledgment on milestone birthdays such as 40th or 50th.

Overall, the cancelled celebrations and muted well-wishes for Prince Harry’s 40th birthday seem to underscore the ongoing tensions and estrangement between the Sussexes and the British Royal Family nearly two years after stepping back from their senior positions.
 

 

Veteran comedian Martin Short took the stage at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday night and delivered a scathing yet hilarious jab at Meghan Markle. The moment, which has since gone viral, has sparked a firestorm of reactions and debates across social media.

The incident unfolded when presenter Selena Gomez revealed to Short that Meghan Markle had personally reached out and begged for a shout out during his acceptance speech for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series. Seemingly unfazed by the Duchess of Sussex’s request, Short seized the opportunity to poke fun at Meghan’s apparent thirst for the spotlight.

“Well Selena, I’m sorry but I just can’t in good conscience give Meghan Markle a shout out,” Short said to raucous laughter from the audience packed inside the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. “I mean, the woman is already drowning in attention. She’s like a needy toddler constantly craving validation.”

The comedian went on to suggest that Meghan’s desire for recognition have become an obsession, likening her to a fame-hungry puppy that can’t stop yipping for attention. “I’m sorry but I just can’t indulge Meghan’s endless need for validation. She’s like a reality TV star who can’t go five minutes without posting a selfie or making some grand proclamation,” quipped Short, drawing even louder cheers.

The biting monologue quickly went viral on social media, with many viewers praising Short’s comedic timing and willingness to call out Meghan’s perceived attention-seeking behavior. However, the reaction was not entirely positive. Some of Meghan’s staunchest supporters condemned Short’s remarks as disrespectful and sexist.

“Martin Short is just another old white man trying to tear down a strong, independent woman like Meghan Markle,” wrote one Twitter user. Others defended Short, arguing that his comments were simply a reflection of a growing sentiment among the public regarding Meghan’s apparent need for constant media coverage.

“Let’s be honest, Meghan Markle has made a career out of playing the victim and demanding the spotlight,” tweeted another user. “Martin Short was just calling it like it is, and I for one applaud him for having the courage to do so.”

The incident also reignited a broader debate about the role of the British royal family in the modern era. Some commentators argued that Meghan’s behavior has undermined the centuries-old institution’s traditional values of discretion and humility.

“Meghan Markle seems to have forgotten that being a member of the royal family is not about personal fame and glory, but about serving the people and upholding the traditions of the monarchy,” said royal commentator Piers Morgan in an interview with Fox News.

However, Meghan’s supporters pushed back against these claims, arguing that the Duchess has been the victim of unfair media coverage and public criticism due to intrinsic biases against her as a biracial American woman. They say Short’s monologue is just the latest example of the sexist scrutiny and double standards Meghan faces on a regular basis.

One royal analyst told Vanity Fair that Meghan was simply “trying to get some positive press” by requesting the shoutout from Short, and that the intense backlash resulted more from “underlying attitudes” toward the Duchess rather than the act itself.

As with many royal-related controversies, public opinion appears sharply divided on both sides of the debate. While some saw Short’s monologue as harmless comedy, others viewed it as another example of the ongoing mistreatment Meghan has endured. Either way, the incident demonstrated once again how anything involving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex seems to spark heated discussions about modern celebrity, race, gender, and Britain’s centuries-old institutions of monarchy and tradition. Only time will tell how this latest saga might impact Meghan and Harry’s ongoing search for privacy and independence on their own terms outside of the royal fold.
 

Meghan Markle has reportedly found herself on the receiving end of a scathing phone call from none other than Oprah Winfrey. According to insider reports from Bark Jack and X, Oprah confronted Meghan this week following the disastrous fallout from *The Hollywood Reporter*’s recent exposé on her troubled reputation in the entertainment industry. While the specifics of the call remain shrouded in mystery, one thing is clear: Oprah was not pleased. 

The media mogul, who has long been a mentor and ally to Meghan, reportedly expressed dissatisfaction over Meghan’s recent antics, particularly the staged paparazzi incident surrounding Tyler Perry’s party. Eyewitnesses suggest that Meghan’s attempt to feign attendance at the event while simultaneously calling in the paparazzi crossed a line, leaving Oprah and Perry’s inner circle fuming.

The chaos unfolded as Meghan seemingly pretended to attend Perry’s gathering, yet her actual presence was nowhere to be seen. Instead, staged photos emerged, capturing guests exiting Perry’s residence, with one woman shielding her face from the cameras, clearly not wishing to be photographed. Oprah’s frustration appears to be twofold: not only was Meghan allegedly orchestrating a media spectacle, but the public relations disaster overshadowed Perry’s celebration, shifting the focus to Harry and Meghan rather than the birthday boy.

Known for her sharp intuition, Oprah likely realized that Meghan had once again manipulated connections for personal gain. Sources speculate that Meghan reached out to a paparazzi agency known for capturing celebrity moments to ensure her presence at Perry’s event was well-documented, despite not actually attending. The media frenzy that followed focused primarily on Harry and Meghan, detracting attention from the actual guests and further infuriating Oprah.

The question on everyone’s mind is: who leaked the details of this explosive phone call? Many suspect it was Oprah herself, as she has seemingly distanced herself from Meghan in recent weeks. Once inseparable, the two have reportedly experienced a rift, particularly after negative press surrounding Meghan’s professional endeavors. A biting article from *The Hollywood Reporter* painted Meghan as a difficult personality within Hollywood, further complicating her image.

According to insiders, Meghan has been making desperate late-night calls in an attempt to salvage her career. These frantic 3:00 a.m. calls are seen as a cry for help as she grapples with the harsh reality that her Hollywood aspirations may be slipping through her fingers. Despite Prince Harry’s best efforts to assist in repositioning Meghan’s public image, their attempts appear to have floundered.

Meghan’s current plight seems rooted in a pressing need for validation, driving her to reach out to her most powerful allies, including the formidable Oprah Winfrey. However, Oprah’s silence on Meghan’s pleas has left her reeling. Once a vocal supporter, Oprah has become increasingly preoccupied with her own projects, leaving Meghan in disbelief. The dynamic between the two has shifted dramatically, as Oprah, who played a pivotal role in Meghan’s entrance into the royal family, now appears focused on her own burgeoning career, recently preparing for interviews with high-profile figures like Melania Trump.

As Meghan navigates this tumultuous period, she is reportedly on a quest for anyone within her staff willing to publicly affirm her worthiness as a leader and entrepreneur. Her desire to rewrite the narrative includes a familiar refrain: if she were a man, she wouldn’t face such scrutiny. Unfortunately, this line of reasoning does little to assuage the mounting doubts about her professionalism and capability in an industry that seems to have turned its back on her.

 

Peter Dinklage has been quite vocal about his dissatisfaction with how *Game of Thrones* ended. Specifically, he wasn’t pleased with the character arcs and endings for Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow. When asked by Jimmy Kimmel about those controversial final seasons, Dinklage didn’t hold back, bluntly stating, “The writers really screwed the pooch on that one. It’s like they didn’t even try with those last couple of seasons. They totally ruined excellent characters like Dany and just turned her mad for no good reason. And Jon Snow—don’t even get me started on how badly they butchered his story.” 

Kimmel, trying to lighten the mood, joked, “Hey now, Peter, maybe the writers just ran out of good material after you wrapped up Tyrion’s story so well in the earlier seasons.” The audience laughed, but Dinklage wasn’t amused. He fired back, “Well, then maybe they should’ve brought in some new writers who had fresh ideas instead of sticking with the same folks who clearly lost the plot. It’s like they didn’t care anymore at that point.”

Things took an unexpected turn when Kimmel tried to shift gears, asking Dinklage about rumors that he and his wife had grown close to Meghan Markle in recent years. Dinklage seemed to tense up at the question, telling Kimmel, “I’d rather not get into personal matters, if that’s okay.”

But Kimmel, never one to pass up good TV, pressed further. “Come on, Peter, I’m just making conversation here. The tabloids said you visited the Sussexes at their California home—what’s the real story there?”

After a long pause, Dinklage sighed and said, “Alright, look, my wife and I met Meghan a few years back, and yes, we hit it off. She seemed really nice. But that was before… well, before she showed her true colors.”

The audience gasped at this comment, and Kimmel, clearly intrigued, leaned in, asking Dinklage to elaborate. Dinklage took a sip of water before continuing. “At first, Meghan came across as this down-to-earth kind of person who just wanted to help people. But the more I got to know her, the more I realized it was all an act. Everything was about image and perception with her. She’d twist people’s words and constantly play the victim to get attention. One time, we had them over for dinner, and my wife made this incredible vegan potato gratin that took all day. You should’ve seen the look on Meghan’s face when she realized it had cream in it—like we personally offended her or something. She made a huge stink about it.

“Another time, she basically interrogated my publicist about what charities I support, as if she was looking for ways to copy me or one-up me. The whole thing felt very calculated and performative—there was no real compassion or caring behind it at all. And don’t even get me started on how she treats Harry. The guy is obviously totally whipped. Everything is about making Meghan happy and catering to her every whim. I’ve seen the way she talks down to him—it’s actually pretty disturbing. Like, have some respect for the guy.”

Dinklage paused for a moment before adding, “So, yeah, safe to say I’m not a big Meghan Markle fan these days. Call it a gut feeling, but I always got the impression she was just using Harry for fame and fortune. She couldn’t care less about helping people like she pretends. It’s all about branding and building her public image into a brand.”

The audience sat in stunned silence after Dinklage’s epic rant, while Kimmel could barely contain his excitement. “Well, Peter, you certainly didn’t hold back there. I have to say, that’s not the perspective we usually hear about Meghan Markle.”

Dinklage took another sip of water and shrugged. “Yeah, well, maybe it’s time people started seeing through the act. She pretends to be a champion of women and diversity, but behind closed doors, it’s a different story. The woman is toxic. Look, I try to keep my personal life private, but when it comes to the Sussexes, I just can’t stay silent anymore. After the way she treated not just Harry, but people like my wife, I feel obligated to speak up. Someone needs to call Meghan Markle out on her BS.”
