Prince Harry and Brooklyn Beckham

If she’d had affairs, surely it would get out into the media?

I think there were affairs because I have a friend who lives in Madrid and the rumours etc were just too huge for it to be absolutely nothing but gossip. I think there was a lot of effort made for things to be kept quiet and for the lack of damage to be done to the marriage. I think that something we should always take into account when we hear about these things/"know" about them is that we hear "affair" the couple may hear "we both know about this, this is how we choose to live our lives, we keep it secret because we don't want your judgement, we are perfectly happy as we are."

If she is miserable because he is always at it. If she is and if he is, naturally, then that's said. If their relationship is not the sort that is the norm for more people and they are both perfectly happy with it, then whatever makes them happy and fair play to them. We don't know that she hasn't had affairs either. In fact we have a small idea of something that might be nothing and the fact that they remain together decades into a long relationship and still seem to find each other sexy and fun to be around speaks volumes as to the success of that relationship.

I thought Brooklyn and Romeo went to Portland Place School, then Brooklyn went on to Hampstead Fine Arts College for sixth form. (Rocco Ritchie was there at the same time - very sleb.) Romeo moved on to Millfield in Somerset, well known for being very sporty.

Op, what is Victoria B supposed to be partial to?

I find it really sad if David did indeed have all these affairs, they appeared to be so truly loved up together..,just sad

I also agree having seen BB in interviews, he comes across as very lovely, as do all the kids, isn’t that the most important thing? Not all kids/people are academic, plus they’re loaded, presumably they won’t ever have to work a day in their lives…if I was in their position, I probably wouldn’t 😂I would have lots of interests and just enjoy my life.

Not just academically, I mean only expecting politeness of your children full stop seems a bit basic.

J*I'm not sure Harper does look normal I have a 12 year old and I'd feel uncomfortable with her in dresses like that however it's vb style and girls usually want to copy at that age

@Bambamhoohoo how could they expect more if they are not capable of more? A study once said the education of a child is largely down to the mothers level of education. How old or accurate that study is now who knows...

Maybe brooklyn like Harry and William had to see a distraught mother coping with thier husband affairs

I think the fear or worry of letting vb know about the wedding issues is fascinating. Surely they wouldn't care?

They are the richer far more powerful family deep in American society.
So why?

To be honest, Having seen interviews with BB (he’s always flogging something) he comes across as nice, polite and positive/ happy

it does make me wonder though, the beckhams have always vocalised this slight obsession with their children being polite and kind, and they’ve done a great job… but it does seem very basic- maybe they should’ve expected a bit more?

Yeah it is a matter of taste.

Romeo however was paid to work as a model.

Admit it. You wouldn't be on this thread if you did not like a bit of gossip.

Well that’s a matter of opinion. To me he’s the better looking one because he has a more manly look. It’s a matter of taste and I’m not sure anyway why you’d want to write something so derisory .

the interesting thing about the beckhams is they’ve had such longevity with their fame- they’ve lived through so much. I don’t really agree they’ve put their children on social media - mainly because, for Brooklyn at least, social media wasn’t even about when he was a child.

they didn’t do a great job of protecting him from the media- but at the same time, the media was very different back then and impossible to control. Their documentary Looked back at the paparazzi when they were in Spain for example, and it was unbelievable really, seeing it through 2025 eyes.

so no they haven’t pixilated their faces, they have more than likely worked with not against the media- but it wasn’t quite the whoring out it’s made out to be imo

@kindnessforthewin thank you, Cruz was the name I forgot. Am I right in thinking he plays football and is just getting on with that rather than all the other stuff?

I think that the Beckhams exposed their children to too much publicity when they were too young to make their own decisions. This was probably for the brand, but I don't know. Maybe they didn't realise how difficult that might make life for them because times were different and changing even then. So, I sort of judge, sort of don't. I like famous parents who keep their kids out of the limelight, life definitely seems to turn out better for them.

That said, however, it's clear that some of the children have decided to stay in the background but I can't remember which one because I can't remember his name because he's not in the spotlight. I also appreciate that Harper, unlike a lot of daughters out there of a similiar age, looks so normal and not sexualised. I was shocked when I saw Blue Ivy (?) and thought she was at least three years older than she is because please don't. Just don't.

I think the biggest error the family has made has been spoiling the children, most evident in the eldest who has shown himself to be not every good at a lot of things. Far from helping him out by paying for things like that awful photo book it makes him look like a little baby who gets everything he wants on a plate, has never had to work a day in his life, and - most difficult for him I imagine - a laughing stock to the extent that I almost feel sorry for him.

His wife clearly doesn't want any closeness with the family and that's fair enough although in marrying her he seems to have jumped from the so-called frying pan into the blah, etc. He still looks like a spoiled child but with someone different to tell him what to do and when to do it. This is probably not true, but it's a sort of superficial way of describing what you're more interested in than you should be but even then only half interested or interested just about enough to sneer.

We figure there have been no private wishes because the Brand have brought the feud into the open, although it could be two feuds, the same feud but with nuances, or it's all a bollocks but someone is trying to make DB a bit pissed off on his birthday weekend/week/month/whatever.

I see no similarities between Brooklyn Beckham and Prince Harry.

2 men marrying narcissistic, controlling women?

Many London private schools are seriously academic and selective. Just look at a list of the top 50 schools in the country and you will see that London dominates.

They do not suit every, perhaps most, students. Brooklyn went to a school that was less competitive and less selective. Nothing wrong with it. I knew a couple of seriously bright kids who went there after failing to thrive in more intense hothouses, one of whom then went on to a very very selective sixth form, the other on to a very competitive degree course. I knew one family, with nice kids, who were not from the UK and so had not met application deadlines for more selective schools. The school also had plenty of kids with parents with mobile international careers, so a chequered education history (Brooklyn went to school in Spain and the US, I think.) One mum I met when DDs school was playing them, had used every penny they had to pull their distressed and underachieving daughter out of a local state school to escape bullying. Atr one point the school, a decade or two bac, had a very respected head who was very good at ensuring a very diverse intake each had the education they needed. Brooklyn would have been part of that mix.

Apparently Romeo was reasonably bright. Poor Brooklyn. the younger brother had the brains, looks and sports ability (I think he transferred to Millfield.) Brooklyn then went on to a rather cool private arty sixth form with a host of nepo babes. These were the cards he had been dealt and if he had talent and application he would have had the teaching to thrive.

In fairness to the dil, if this is true it’s a bit unreasonable. I wouldn’t want to be told what I had to choose from for my wedding dress.

That article about the children being too thick for school was horrible though. They had such innocent little faces in the photo.

Guy Ritchie in VB’s IG posts from David’s party

It’s because he wasn’t breastfed… 🤪

I think the wives fell out over her not wearing a VB wedding dress on her big day. There was some reconciliation but it seems like it was fragile and they’ve fallen out again

Ouch!

Ivana Trump was buried near the first hole of Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Tax code in New Jersey co incidentally exempts cemetery land from all taxes, rates, and assessments.

Honestly can’t remember, was over a decade ago I reckon. Found a daily Mail article about the whole thing before VB waded in being upset.
