The nepo baby discourse just got a whole lot more regal. Phoenix Brown, who is the daughter of Spice Girls icon Mel B, is presenting a new documentary about nepotism, and she's using Prince William as a prime example.

Mel B ’s daughter, Phoenix Chi Gulzar, has hit out at Prince William, calling him the “ultimate nepo baby” as she defended the children of celebrities. The 25-year-old is currently exploring the world of “nepo babies”, the children of celebrity or otherwise well-connected parents, in the Channel 4 documentary Born in the Limelight: Nepo Babies.

A nepo baby, short for nepotism baby, is defined as "a person who gains success or opportunities through familial connections".

As the daughter of a Spice Girl, I've been called a "nepo baby" many times. I'm working towards being a successful DJ and presenter – and I can't deny that having Mel B as my mum has opened a few doors.

Mel B's daughter Phoenix Chi Gulzar has sparked debate with a new Channel 4 documentary examining how society treats different types of "nepo babies" - particularly Prince William and Brooklyn Beckham.

Phoenix Chi Gulzar wonders why the public judges the children of rich celebrities so harshly when they follow in their parents’ footsteps
