Resurgence of Noughties Fame: Beckham Documentary Overshadows Sussexes

Following the release of David Beckham's Netflix documentary, a surprising shift in fame dynamics has emerged, with Beckham and his wife Victoria overshadowing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from the noughties era.

Titled “Beckham,” the documentary chronicles David's rise to football stardom and has garnered significant attention, surpassing initial viewership expectations.

Despite an initial viewership gap, with Beckham's documentary attracting 59 million hours compared to the Sussexes' 82 million hours in the first week, the Beckham documentary has gained momentum.

Google Trends data indicates a notable surge in interest, far exceeding that generated by Harry and Meghan.

Notably, the documentary has achieved an impressive 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, outshining the Sussexes' documentary, which lags behind at 19%.

However, the success of the Beckham documentary has not been devoid of controversy.

The release has reignited tensions between David Beckham and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

A royal commentator highlighted that the Duke and Duchess' recent public appearances led to a significant decline in favorability among Americans.

Public opinion data reveals a drastic drop of 45 points for Harry and 36 points for Meghan, underscoring the impact of their recent actions on their public image.

The Beckham documentary's triumph coincides with reports from the Daily Mail in July alleging a souring of the friendship between the two couples following a tense phone call and accusations of story leaks.

Allegedly, Beckham was deeply upset by these developments.

As Beckham's documentary continues to captivate audiences and dominate streaming charts, it has revitalized the star power of one of the most iconic couples from the noughties.

The influence of the Beckham documentary extends beyond mere viewership numbers, leaving a lasting impression on public perceptions of these high-profile personalities.

The resurgence of interest in the noughties couple has sparked discussions and comparisons, highlighting the enduring appeal of David and Victoria Beckham in today's media landscape.

As audiences engage with the evolving dynamics of fame and public perception, the Beckham documentary serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of celebrity narratives.

The contrast between the rising popularity of the Beckhams and the diminishing favorability of Prince Harry and Meghan underscores the ever-changing nature of public sentiment towards public figures.
