Sussexes & Beckhams In A Biopic Rivalry
David and Victoria Beckham’s Netflix doc, Beckham, is on fire with five Emmy nominations. Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s docuseries didn’t get a single nod. The drama between the Sussexes and the Beckhams has been brewing for a while, but this is a big blow for Harry and Meghan.

Meanwhile, The Sussexes’ show revealed explosive details about the British royals and was an instant hit. It soared to the top spot on Netflix, racking 81.6 million hours watched in just four days.
