David Beckham’s voice repeating the words “Be honest” while interrupting her interview for his docu-series must still be ringing in Victoria Beckham’s head.
Posh Spice released $150 t-shirts with the slogan “My dad had a Rolls-Royce” several weeks after a clip of her speaking about her “working class” upbringing on David’s Netflix docuseries Beckham went viral.

In the docu-series interview, Posh tried to explain that she came from humble origins, stating she grew up in a “very working class” family. But her husband wasn’t buying the narrative she was trying to sell, interrupting her mid-interview to tell her to “be honest,” repeating to her: “What car did your dad drive you to school in?”
After back-and-forth — all caught on camera — Posh Spice gave in, admitting, “OK, in the Eighties, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.” The moment quickly went viral, and over the weekend, she decided to turn it into merch.
“Now, who doesn’t love a slogan t-shirt? I do. And I have to say, my question for you all is, ‘What did your dad drive you to school in?’ My dad drove me in, yes, a Rolls-Royce,” Victoria said in the TikTok. “I can’t fight it anymore,” she joked in the caption.
The new t-shirts, made from “soft, organic cotton,” are now available for pre-order on Victoria Beckham‘s brand website. The product “embodies the brand’s playful side,” according to its site description.
Directed by Fisher Stevens, the Beckham docuseries explores David Beckham’s time on the pitch playing for England (and losing in the World Cup), Manchester United, and Real Madrid, along with the media frenzy he caused by dating, and later marrying Posh Spice.
In the docu-series, the couple also addressed rumors that David had cheated early in their relationship.
“It was the hardest period for us, because it felt like the world was against us. And here’s the thing: We were against each other, if I’m being completely honest,” she said in the series. “Up until Madrid, sometimes it felt like us against everybody else. But we were together. We were connected. We had each other. But when we were in Spain, it didn’t feel like we had each other either. And that’s sad.”
When Beckham was asked by Stevens how the couple survived the affair reports, Beckham replied, “I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know how we got through it, in all honesty. Victoria is everything to me. To see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we’re fighters. And at that time, we needed to fight for each other. We needed to fight for our family, and what we had was worth fighting for.”
