Brooklyn Beckham isn’t wasting any time on With Love, Meghan, and he made that clear in a hilariously blunt response.
The son of football legend David Beckham and pop icon Victoria Beckham shut down any speculation that he would be tuning into Meghan Markle’s latest project. When asked by Express and other media outlets if he had watched the series, Brooklyn casually delivered four simple words that sent the internet into a frenzy: I haven’t watched it. Despite being someone who enjoys watching TV in his free time, Meghan’s grand Netflix spectacle didn’t even make the cut for Brooklyn.
Instead, he prefers spending his downtime walking his four dogs, hitting the gym, taking ice baths, and binge-watching shows he actually enjoys. He had every opportunity to press play, but he simply wasn’t interested. That has to sting for Meghan, considering the Beckhams were once part of the Sussexes' elite inner circle. Back in 2018, David and Victoria Beckham were even invited to Harry and Meghan’s royal wedding. Fast forward a few years, and the Beckhams seem to have quietly distanced themselves from the Hollywood exile duo. Now, Brooklyn can’t even be bothered to pretend to care.
So what happened? Why did the once-close relationship between the Sussexes and the Beckhams sour? The short answer: Meghan’s trademark insecurity and an old-fashioned ego clash. Rumors suggest that tensions began when Meghan, fearful of being overshadowed, decided she didn’t want any competition from Victoria Beckham. The idea of another powerful, stylish woman in her orbit was simply too much for her to handle. Naturally, Prince Harry—ever the devoted husband—was reportedly instructed to make sure the Beckhams weren’t given any special access to him or Meghan. The fallout became even more obvious when Harry noticeably ignored David Beckham during the Invictus Games in Australia, a moment fans interpreted as a deliberate snub. Apparently, Harry and Meghan were too busy being “global humanitarians” to acknowledge one of Britain’s most famous icons.
Brooklyn Beckham, of course, is no stranger to the spotlight. Like Meghan, he has been handed golden opportunities throughout his life, from his short-lived photography ventures to his widely mocked cooking career. But here’s the difference—Brooklyn isn’t demanding that the world take him seriously as a culinary genius or a creative mastermind. He enjoys cooking, shrugs off criticism, and doesn’t throw a fit every time someone makes fun of his videos. That’s something Meghan—who seems allergic to self-awareness—could learn from.
Brooklyn could have taken the diplomatic route and said something neutral like I’ve been meaning to watch it or It’s on my list. But he didn’t. His subtle, unbothered dismissal speaks volumes. Meanwhile, With Love, Meghan is being panned across the board, with audiences questioning why she was given a show in the first place. Despite Brooklyn’s career missteps, people still root for him. Meghan, on the other hand, continues to push the narrative that any criticism against her is driven by jealousy and hate.
And there you have it—Brooklyn Beckham, a man willing to give just about anything a shot, has drawn the line at Meghan Markle’s Netflix series. If even he won’t tune in, what does that say about the rest of us?
