There's a moment in Victoria Beckham, Netflix's new three-part documentary, where David and Victoria are having a heart-to-heart in a cabin overlooking their manmade lake at their £12m Cotswolds mansion.

How Victoria has done what Meghan Markle never could

"Don't you feel confident enough that you can sit back and relax?" he asks, rather tenderly. "What is stopping you from saying, 'Okay, I've achieved it'? Who are you trying to prove this to?" As her voice cracks with emotion, VB responds, "Maybe a lot of it is to you." He shrugs and says, "You could make a cheese sandwich and we'd be proud of you." She replies, both with tears and laughter: "Let's be honest, I couldn't actually make a cheese sandwich very well."

This, you see, is Brand Beckham 2.0 - the power couple's Kardashified reinvention. Borrowing the Kardashians' "at home with" format, we're presented with a tight family unit, living between its various mega mansions around the world - London, Miami, Oxfordshire and Dubai. Victoria Beckham is the companion series to Netflix's 2023 Beckham documentary (for which they've reportedly made £20m in total) and it's understood that the Beckhams were given full editorial control.
