The glittering aftermath of Paris Fashion Week has taken a dark turn, with reports emerging that Meghan Markle unleashed a full-blown tantrum upon learning that Victoria Beckham’s new Netflix docuseries had eclipsed her own upcoming projects in the streaming giant’s promotional pipeline. Sources close to the Duchess of Sussex describe a heated outburst in her Plaza Athénée suite on October 5, just hours after Markle’s star turn at the Balenciaga show, where she vented frustration over Beckham’s “unfair” spotlight steal. The incident, coming amid a long-simmering feud between the two women, has reignited speculation about Markle’s precarious position in Hollywood and her strained $100 million Netflix deal.
The three-part docuseries Victoria Beckham, which dropped on Netflix October 9, chronicles the former Spice Girl’s evolution from pop icon to fashion empire builder, culminating in her Spring/Summer 2025 Paris Fashion Week presentation. Directed by Nadia Hallgren and featuring intimate interviews with industry titans like Anna Wintour, Tom Ford, and Donatella Versace, alongside personal insights from husband David Beckham and friends such as Eva Longoria, the series has already shattered viewing records. In its first 72 hours, it amassed over 150 million hours watched globally, outpacing even David’s 2023 hit Beckham and dwarfing the Sussexes’ 2022 docuseries Harry & Meghan, which peaked at just 60 million hours in its debut week. Netflix executives, buoyed by the buzz, fast-tracked a promotional blitz: Beckham graced The Tonight Show, Good Morning America, and Vogue’s digital covers, with teaser clips dominating social feeds.
For Markle, who had jetted to Paris for Balenciaca’s October 4 runway—her first major fashion week appearance since Megxit—the timing felt like a personal gut punch. Dressed in a custom white cape and trousers from the house, she front-rowed alongside Wintour and Anne Hathaway, later posting Stories of backstage glamour and a cheeky French fries snack. Her team pitched the trip as a soft launch for her As Ever lifestyle brand, teasing Netflix’s forthcoming cooking series—tentatively titled Meghan’s Montecito Kitchen—slated for a late 2025 release. But as Beckham’s trailer exploded online days before, sources say Markle scrolled through the hype during a late-night glam session and “lost it.” “She hurled her phone across the room, screaming about how Netflix was ‘betraying’ her after all she’s done for them,” one insider from her entourage recounted. “It was raw—tears, pacing, the works. She felt like Victoria was poaching her thunder, especially with the fashion tie-in.”
The outburst, witnessed by a handful of stylists and security, reportedly lasted 20 minutes, with Markle fixating on perceived slights: Beckham’s seamless access to Wintour (whom Markle has courted unsuccessfully for Archewell features) and Netflix’s “lavish” budget for Victoria Beckham, rumored to top $20 million—double what the Sussexes’ cooking show is allocated. “Why her? Why now?” Markle allegedly wailed, referencing their fractured friendship. The Beckhams and Sussexes were once tight: David and Harry bonded over polo and charity, while Victoria gifted Markle a £6,000 ensemble for her 2018 wedding. But cracks formed early. In Tom Bower’s 2022 book Revenge, Markle accused Victoria of leaking stories to the press about her frugal habits, like borrowing designer clothes—a claim the Beckhams denied, citing it as the spark for their fallout. By 2023, Harry snubbed David at a charity match, and whispers grew of Markle’s disdain for Victoria’s “tacky” past as Posh Spice.
Social media, ever the amplifier, erupted with schadenfreude. X posts mocked Markle’s “pea-green envy,” with one viral thread juxtaposing Beckham’s poised Paris runway clips against paparazzi shots of Markle storming from the Balenciaga after-party. “Meghan’s rotting face says it all—jealousy killing her,” quipped user @_BLlTZkqrMlc, whose post garnered 1,100 likes and 34,000 views in days. Another, from @foster__braxton, claimed Netflix had “pulled budget” from Markle’s Christmas special to fund Beckham’s promo tour, racking up 3,000 likes: “NF just kicked her in the teeth!” TikTok memes flooded in, editing Markle’s Suits tantrums over Beckham’s doc trailer, soundtracked to “Wannabe.”
Critics like Piers Morgan seized the moment on his Uncensored podcast, labeling it “karma for the duchess of delusion.” “Victoria built an empire from scratch—no royal handouts—while Meghan’s Netflix flops gather dust,” he sneered, pointing to the Sussexes’ stalled projects: a retitled rom-com (The Pursuit of Easy, delayed to 2026) and an unproduced gardening series. Royal expert Ingrid Seward echoed the sentiment in The US Sun, predicting Markle would “feign graciousness” publicly but seethe privately: “She likes control; Victoria’s win strips that away.” The feud’s layers run deep: Sources claim Markle’s team lobbied Netflix to bump Beckham’s premiere, only to be rebuffed amid the streamer’s subscriber slump—down 2 million in Q3 2025, per earnings calls.
Beckham’s doc itself unwittingly stokes the fire. Episode 2 delves into her eating disorder struggles—”I became very good at lying,” she confesses—drawing parallels to Markle’s own vulnerability shares in Harry & Meghan, but with rawer authenticity that critics say resonates more. Wintour’s on-camera mea culpa—”I misjudged her; she’s a force”—contrasts sharply with her tepid praise for Markle’s As Ever jams in a September profile. David’s appearances, waxing poetic about Victoria’s grit, subtly shade the Sussexes’ “purpose-driven” pivot, which insiders say irked Markle most: “It’s like they’re mocking our reinvention without the mess.”
Markle’s camp fired back swiftly. A spokesperson dismissed the tantrum reports as “recycled fiction from grudge-holders,” insisting the Paris trip was “pure joy” and her Netflix slate “on track.” Archewell’s Instagram posted a cryptic family reel October 6—Archie “stirring” jam pots—captioned “Stirring up sweetness amid the storm.” Ally Omid Scobie took to X: “This ‘tantrum’ nonsense? Tabloid bait to pit women against each other. Victoria’s win is fashion’s; Meghan’s is hers—deal with it.” Yet, the damage lingers. Netflix’s Bela Bajaria, under pressure post-The Crown finale, reportedly convened a “Sussex strategy” meeting October 10, weighing cuts to Markle’s budget amid the Beckham bonanza. “They’re hedging bets—Victoria’s a safe, sexy sell; Meghan’s riskier,” a production source leaked.
This clash caps a brutal stretch for the Sussexes. Markle’s October 9 NYC gala—meant as a humanitarian high—backfired with a jet snub and leaked spat footage. Her Paris hotel bill sparked a Netflix row, and a resurfaced “secret daughter” rumor from ex Joe Giuliano sent Archewell into lockdown. The Carlyle blacklist over unpaid tabs only amplified the “entitled” narrative. Against Beckham’s poised ascent—her brand hitting £100 million in sales, per the doc—Markle’s As Ever launch fizzled, with jam sales flatlining at 50,000 units.
For the Beckhams, it’s vindication. Victoria, 51, used the series to reclaim her narrative, from WAG mockery to atelier triumphs, ending with a rain-soaked Paris show hailed as “genius” by Vogue. David, sidelined from Invictus talks since the 2018 rift, told Tudum: “She’s the real boss—always was.” No direct shade for Markle, but the subtext sings.
As Montecito beckons, Markle eyes a counterpunch: Sources whisper of a tell-all interview with Oprah redux, timed for holiday promo. But with Netflix’s favor tilting toward proven winners like Beckham, the duchess’s Hollywood hustle feels increasingly precarious. Fashion week’s reinvention mantra? For Meghan, it’s a mirror to her own stalled arc—glamorous on the surface, turbulent beneath. Will this tantrum be her rock bottom, or just another plot twist in the Sussex saga? Paris, it seems, served more than style; it served shade.
