Title: Beckham’s Success Highlights Meghan and Harry’s Struggles: A Tale of Contrasting Fortunes

The Beckham family has dealt a significant blow to the already strained relationship between them and the Sussexes.

In an unexpected turn of events, David Beckham, the renowned soccer star, and his wife Victoria Beckham, the former Spice Girl turned designer, have achieved unprecedented success with their Netflix limited series, “Beckham.”

The documentary has soared to the top of the streaming platform's charts and continues to captivate audiences worldwide, firmly establishing the couple as hot commodities once again.

This success naturally prompts comparisons to another royal couple who also sought fame through a Netflix docu-series, and .

However, the contrast between the two couples couldn't be more apparent.

Despite signing a $157 million deal with Netflix and months of anticipation, Harry and Meghan's series, titled “Harry and Meghan,” failed to secure the number one spot.

While it garnered attention and made TV history, it fell short of Beckham's achievement.

The aftermath of Harry and Meghan's series release took an unexpected turn.

Their public favorability ratings in the United States plummeted, with Harry dropping 45 points and Meghan falling 36 points in just a matter of weeks, according to polling conducted by Redfield and Wilson for Newsweek.

The more they spoke and shared their grievances, the less Americans seemed to like them, as indicated by the same publication's headline.

Fast forward to the present, and the situation hasn't improved significantly for the Sussexes.

Recent data from YouGov reveals that while Meghan attempted a comeback by attending Beyoncé concerts and sharing Instagram photos, her popularity took another hit, dropping 7 points to a positive 10.

On the other hand, Harry's position remained relatively stable, with a 24-point increase.

Adding insult to injury, popular animated TV shows like Family Guy joined South Park and SNL in mocking Meghan and Harry, portraying their lives as empty and meaningless.

In stark contrast, the Beckhams are basking in the limelight.

The success of their series has propelled them back into the global spotlight, with David gaining half a million social media followers.

Google Trends data shows a significant spike in searches related to the Beckham series, far surpassing the interest generated by Harry and Meghan's release.

Additionally, Beckham boasts an impressive average audience score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, while Harry and Meghan's docu-series received a mere 19%.

The stark divergence in outcomes between the two couples underscores the contrasting fortunes of Brand Beckham and Brand Sussex.

The former has experienced a resurgence, while the latter finds itself in a weakened position.

This comes as no surprise, considering reports from July that Harry and Meghan's friendship with the Beckhams had soured, allegedly due to suspicions of negative media leaks.

While Beckham's series may have initially attracted fewer viewers than Harry and Meghan's, it has undoubtedly boosted the couple's careers.

Meanwhile, the Sussexes' series has only further tarnished their public image.

The Wales family, including and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, has demonstrated a more relatable approach, engaging with their children at various events and emphasizing a sense of normalcy.

In contrast, Harry seems to follow Meghan's lead, often engaging in actions that come across as entitled, out of touch, and self-absorbed.

Meghan's stories, such as crawling through the trunk of her car, appear increasingly far-fetched, especially considering her previous financial situation.

Her claims of financial struggle conflict with the reality of her father's support until she met Harry.

While Meghan's tales may garner attention, they fail to evoke sympathy or resonate with the public.

In conclusion, the immense success of Beckham's Netflix series serves as a stark reminder of the struggles faced by Harry and Meghan.

The Beckhams have managed to reinvent themselves and regain the spotlight, while the Sussexes continue to face challenges in rebuilding their public image.

The stark contrast between the two couples highlights the importance of relatability and authenticity in navigating the world of fame and public perception.
