Is one spoilt entitled brat who has broken his parents hearts, not that I am a great fan of the Beckhams, at least they have worked all their lives and would not betray their parents!

I feel sorry for his in-laws, imagine being a billionaire and your daughter brings this talentless grifter home.

His parents did seem to have a work ethic, but their kids so far have none at all, and seem dull and dim.

The brand Beckham childhood didn't do them any favours, but to have no skills and no educational attainments after what I'm sure was an expensive education, is such a waste of opportunity.

Everyone hates rich people on mn!

It’s not hatred of the rich. More bewilderment that despite all his parents wealth, connections and any number of opportunities, they’ve managed to raise a child so ineffectual, with no apparent purpose in life. He does seem like a big kid still, not an adult man. No ambitions or talents, no skills… whether he’s in the public eye or not, it seems a shame for him that he has no niche in the world yet.

I do find it worrying that most kids - educated privately or in the state system - work their asses off to get to uni or apprenticeship etc. and Beckhams and Andres just get allowed to stay at their private schools and not do esp well or go to on to uni. I suppose royal family in the 80s with crappy A Level results getting into Cambridge is similarly worrying

You have mentioned private schools twice.
Why?
Children all have different abilities. Some kids, regardless of where they are educated, will never be high achievers.
Surely the aim of any educational institution is to educate their students to meet their full potential. Not everybody has the potential to achieve top scores.

Nobody knows what has actually gone down but his wife comes across as a total madam and he comes across as weak and obsessive - the 100000 tattoos dedicated to her and her family is unhinged

Nepo baby syndrome!!

Grew up wanting for nothing but yet still feels so hard done by and, unfortunately, its playing out in front of the media because of the day and age we live in, everything is online.

Are the Beckham babies any different to any other celeb baby?
North wearing a corset at aged 12?
Blue Ivy being paraded around on her mothers stage?
Nicole Peltz, "actress", has a rich daddy, do you reckon she was subjected to a Harvey Weinstein interview or just ushered through?

In all honesty, why care? It really doesn't concern us mere mortals

Your parents being rich isn’t a success

I also read today that Victoria's brand is on trouble again

Success? 😂 the kid has failed at everything he’s done!

I don’t like any of the Beckhams but Brooklyn comes across as a spoiled brat

He renewed his wedding vows in a ceremony with guests and her parents but didn’t even tell his family let alone invite them.

Aaa thank you!

its bad that he’s needed to renew his vows already (who is so thick that can’t keep his wedding vows for such a short period) but to exclude so openly his parents and siblings looks really rude whatever their disagreements are.
He clearly wants to be a new Harry.

smallpinecone · 27/08/2025 21:56

I’ve often wondered why children of people/families with this sort of money even want to be in the limelight. Is it because they’ve grown up with it, it’s normal and they have no other frame of reference?

I mean, it doesn’t matter one iota if none of the kids want to work, or have a career. A life spent learning, spending as long in university education as you wanted, travelling, reading, volunteering, gardening - anything! Absolutely anything you wanted to do. Sounds pretty good, no?

He’s just another gormless, harmless nepo baby playing out a deeply ordinary family wrangle in public because of who his parents are.

Who are his parents? A couple of has-beens

If we put our lives in the media/ told people what we were thinking/ were filmed at his age would we seem better?

Bloke's a complete salad. His wife isn't even a complete salad.

BlueyGreyWhale · 27/08/2025 21:42

I don't know his parents are pretty messed up.

They saw themselves as a brand rather than a family and pretty much cashed in on their kids. I couldn't care less about any of them.

QuickFawn · 27/08/2025 21:42

Totally agree Vic, hope you make up soon though. Kisses

x2boys · 27/08/2025 21:40

I don't really follow what's going on but I do think David and Victoria haven't helped themselves by trying to buy careers for their kids
So far Brooklyn has been a footballer,photographer, and chef and shown no real talent in any of those professions
Another son has made an album which didn't get anywhere
And the other footballer son played for the team his Dad part owned and was then " loaned " to Brentwood,?
B team where he hasent really made an amazing success of it
I heard Harper was signed up to Italia Conti stage school ...

smallpinecone · 27/08/2025 21:40

He does seem very gormless, but I feel very sorry for him… he seems to have few skills or ambitions and no real ability to make a living or carve his own niche in the world.
