Victoria Beckham shares real reason she initially refused to film Netflix documentary: 'Been keeping my head down'

A synopsis for the series is described as providing "a front row seat as Victoria prepares for the fashion show of her life."

The streaming platform summary continues: "From the teenager who restyled her school uniform, to the Spice Girl who fought to be accepted by a notoriously demanding fashion industry, Victoria Beckham is the story of resilience, reinvention and self-discovery."

Mrs Beckham, 51, turned down the offer of a Netflix series when it was first offered to her/

Explaining what made her change her mind, she reflected: “At first I said no, but then I took a bit of time and I really thought long and hard about it.

“I have been so defined by when I was in the Spice Girls, which was only a four-year period in my life, whereas fashion I’ve been in for coming up to two decades.

“Up until recently, I was aware I was still fighting the preconceptions because of my previous career and always being mindful of the noise and just focusing on building the [fashion and beauty] brand.”

The former singer admitted: "I have been keeping my head down and really focusing on the product, whether that’s fashion or beauty, so that the product spoke for itself.

"I feel that it's only quite recently that I am confident enough to talk about my time in the Spice Girls, to talk about my family, to talk about my journey, and I feel that only now can I do that with confidence, knowing it’s not going to have an effect on the brand that I’ve spent two decades building.

"I've now earned my place in this industry, and I have to work hard to maintain that."

This year, the Beckhams have been somewhat in the spotlight thanks to an apparent feud between the family and their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, 26.

This summer saw rumours flood in regarding the changing family dynamics, with the once close-knit clan understood to be out of contact with Mr Beckham and his wife, Nicola, 30.

Since earlier this year, the firstborn Beckham has failed to attend any family celebrations and hasn't marked any milestones with social media tributes, despite sharing Instagram birthday posts for Peltz's family.

While brothers Romeo and Cruz have shared cryptic social media posts with apparent digs aimed at their brother, Harper seems more removed from the feud as she doesn't yet use social media.

However, the aspiring chef did reach out to younger sister Harper back in July as the teenager celebrated her birthday.

Sharing a picture of himself, Ms Peltz and Harper, he wrote: "Happy birthday Harper we love u x."

The Beckham parents haven't directly talked about the rift with their son, but sources have suggested the pair have been left devastated.

Speaking to GB News, a body language expert noted Mrs Beckham seemed to be facing "emotional strain".

Angela Kyte, an MSc-qualified psychotherapist and psychologist, analysed what recent photos and posts suggest.

She told this publication: "David and Victoria often exhibit composed, unified body language, standing close, subtly angled toward each other, and projecting a calm, polished exterior."

Addressing the change in the Beckham matriarch's body language, the expert continued: "However, minor cues such as facial tightness, pursed lips, or distant gazes could hint at emotional strain.

"It’s not unusual for parents to experience ambivalence during transitional periods in their children’s lives, especially when public scrutiny adds pressure."
