Prince Harry and Brooklyn Beckham

Despite both families being extremely wealthy and in the public eye, I don't think that they are comparable. Brooklyn Beckham has obviously had a very loving and pampered existence with two parents who love him and he has had lots of opportunities due to his family connections, despite his obvious lack of talent.

No-one normal would really want Harry's life with the death of his mother and a very cold and distant father. They all seem quite fucked up to me and incapable of normal, human emotions. Does anyone ever look at any members of the Royal Family and wish that had been you?

Surely, any of us commenting on this also need to get a life, including you.

At another point, Beckham confirmed his own family’s attendance and provided their ages, guessing at 11-year-old sister Harper’s age, only for Peltz to step in and reply, “Do not trust Brooklyn with this,” before adding “U should be asking an assistant. He has no idea. And is guessing.”

Taken from the Rolling Stone article above. Maybe Brooklyn has no idea it’s David’s 50th?

Yes and I can imagine once you’re married your wife wouldn’t be too keen on having a MIL and possibly a FIL that want to be so involved. Which could cause problems. Saying that she’s meant to be very close to her parents so you’d have thought she wouldn’t mind him being close to his parents. 🤷‍♀️

No idea if it’s true or not but when they got married apparently VB was offended because Nicola didn’t want a VB designer dress. And that issue caused problems a while back but were then resolved.

The Beckhams have worked very hard to promote a Family brand. It must be hard to give up that control when your kids are old enough to not want to be part of it. They must be dreading Harper being old enough to start dating unsuitable boyfriends . Her brothers haven't done very well - isn't Romeo girlfriend years older than him ? Plus it must be worrying to never being sure that people aren't using their kids to enter the inner circle .
I don't think it's a coincidence that both Prince Harry and Brooklyn have married Americans . These women , especially Meghan have no interest in towing the accepted line with their in laws family. I think both women have given their men the back up and support to defy tradition that they found irksome. But Harry is pathetic publicly airing his grievances to gain attention and money .

Apparently there’s a rift concerning Brooklyn’s wife and Victoria.

Yeah my post was ridiculous, but I dont know that the "not a good look for our British families" comment in the OP was significantly less ridiculous (as if the Royals and the Beckhams are representative of a typical British family, or that family rifts are a uniquely British thing), and I'm not currently inclined to let any opportunity, no matter how ham-fisted and tenuous, to criticize the Trumps and the US pass me by.

Edit: Sorry that was @mathanxiety

I haven't read beyond this post, so others may have made the same point but...

I think the incredible wealth, luxuries, and lack of jobs and real-world problems is actually part of the root cause of their problems. They have too much time and global attention on everything they do. It's much easier to blame your family then look at yourself.

I agree that I think it is easy for people to underestimate the downsides of being born into publicity. They look at the money etc and think no further. The same applies to Harry.

Maybe he is fed up with having his life always being so public and having to perform. I feel sorry for him like Harry he has been paraded around with no regard for his privacy

difference is he can step away and maybe he is now choosing to

@kindnessforthewin - "The Beckhams’ once-flawless brand and PR machine have finally taken a dent."

Didn't he famously fuck their nanny?

(Not to mention kicking Diego Simeone up the arse)

Or Princess Leia buns …

I thought his own shadow had got in it, wearing headphones.

I’ve been a bit disgusted by the nastiness on this thread but I’m afraid I’m now going to have to join in because it actually took me about 30 seconds to find the elephant in that photo. Which is saying something, given it’s … well, an elephant.

But back to brooklyn, actually personally, I feel more anyone growing up in the spotlight in the public eye, with famous parents
All the press want him to fail, seems like his wife and vb don't get on the best, just let him be, hopefully he wished his dad happy birthday privately

I didn't know trump raped his wife and that his mum and sister said that? I knew about him admitting he just grabs women by the privates

And the boiled sweet prize for ridiculousness goes to...

Nothing, which I think is the point

The Beckhams are far too involved in their children's lives. I would say that's the problem.

We have no knowledge of Brooklyn's life. He or his wife could be ill, pregnancy, extended family illness, we have no idea. Or he's decided he doesn't like everyone in cyberspace insulting him, so he's gone private.

He tried as a footballer - failed miserably. He tried as a musician - failed spectacularly. He tried as a photographer - failed moderately. He tried as a chef and almost succeeded.

What a horrible way to talk about another human being. Have you flown everything you’ve done in life? Is someone keeping a list on you?

It's the culture wars, nepo baby stylee.

Elephant photo book vs Spare

My dad's played for England vs my dad's the King

Yes, what has Brooklyn Beckham got to do with Prince Harry?

@kindnessforthewin AIBU to think that parents who give their kids everything just end up creating entitled brats who are so detached from reality, add little to society and throw it all back in their poor parents faces. should there not be some kind of study, research or guidance on how to stop this happening. The world has enough problems.

Well yes, I agree. But when I suggested that it's not right for a minority of parents to buy cars for their children, I was on the receiving end of a lot of abuse.

It is real. From his book of photos wot he took.
