Brooklyn missed the Sir David Beckham knighthood

How far is too far?

Brooklyn has missed his Dad’s 50th birthday celebrations (in London, Cotswolds and Miami).

His mums Netflix premier and family summer holiday to Italy, instead going to South of France.

Crucially, his Dads Knighthood.

Of course we don’t know at this point if he was in fact invited to Windsor Castle given his no shows elsewhere.

Have you had a family feud, with a parent or sibling notably. How long did it go on for, what did you miss of one another’s and is it still going and why?

AIBU to think Brooklyn is going to regret this one day.

Vic and Dave are greedy, fame hungry people who need their ego's feeding constantly.

Maybe he got fed up with it all.

Brooklyn Beckham is a bonehead who is married to a greedy fame-hungry egocentric whackjob. So, ya know...

He was probably busy making a sandwich.

Don’t know much about what the Beckham family are meant to be like behind closed doors, but it’s well reported that the Peltz family are a nightmare, allegedly

If that’s really all it was there surely are other choices & she’s not acting now or starletting, so…

He seems like a nice lad so there’s that I guess…

She wrote, directed and acted in a film last year which bombed despite the Beckham association so perhaps you are right. She is very famous now which she wasn't before she met and married Brooklyn. She dated the Hadid sisters' brother for a while but rumour is that his parents discouraged the relationship as they saw through her quest for fame. I have no idea why I know this, I think I spend too much time scrolling twitter!!

His name and fame of course. Peltz has been trying to make it as a starlet for years and no one had heard of her before she married Brooklyn. She had the money but not the fame.

It very much depends doesn’t it - I don’t think anyone outside of the family can pass judgement as we don’t know what happened.

I became estranged from my Father at 10 years old (my choice) and didn’t see him again; he died when I was in my late 30’s. I didn’t regret it.

If so why on earth would the beautiful, not ‘simple’, daughter of a billionaire fall in love with & marry him?

The family photo’s were probably an arranged photoshoot after the ceremony.

It’s obvious that Brooklyn has cut contact with them. It’s sad as they always seem like a very close, loving family and I’ve only ever heard nice things about D&V.

I do have family who have done the same thing. A cousin who cut contact with his parents and sister. Eventually married and had a child his parents never met either his wife or child. His parents both died never seeing him again or meeting his wife and child. Very difficult to understand even for me as a close relative.

AzurePanda · 04/11/2025 19:26

You are only allowed 3 guests at an investiture

RedRiverShore5 · 04/11/2025 19:21

They were there but not in the actual ceremony room by the look of the photos

VickyEadieofThigh · 04/11/2025 19:13

And Beckham had more guests than that.

All the photos only show 3 in the ceremony.

All the photos seem to show three guests in there, Victoria and his parents.

The whole point of this thread is to suggest otherwise!

I'm not bothered either way but was intrigued by the notion that rich folk.might get more spaces. If that's not true - I'm out!

RedRiverShore5 · 04/11/2025 19:16

They all looked very proud

PinkPanther57 · 04/11/2025 19:16

Off topic of BB…VB looked amazing & very chic. DB said PC admired his suit & explained VB had copied one of his/been inspired by one of his.

He's an adult who is married so presumably off doing his own thing (whatever that is).
For some reason I thought he lives in America but I am not sure if that's correct.

Nlom3847 · 04/11/2025 19:03

She was told incorrect information. You can take 3 guests to investitures. My father had 3 guests for his.

He's a grown man, why would he be going on holiday with his parents? Also agree there will have been limited numbers , Google suggests three.

Hi go on holiday with my parents. It’s a lovely opportunity to spend more time together and they get to see more of their grandchildren.

When DH had his appointment at Buckingham Palace he could only take two guests.

His mother, father, Victoria & the other children were there

It is not unheard of, for people of differing intellectual levels to fall in love, you know!

Is it different (better) rules for rich celebs? A colleague was damed and was told very firmly she could only have two guests.

I wasn’t going to say anything, but now you have, how do people even know this stuff? They’re talking about them like they’re close friends and know them personally?? Honestly who follows these people they don’t know and actually gives a shit about where they went on their holidays? And writes threads on forums to other people who have never met them?

Show quote history

I find it very odd. Obviously, people can discuss what they want, but I find this obsession with the lives of celebrities really strange.

I might have a vague interest in a dress someone wears or a restaurant somebody eats in (I am greedy and I like dresses) but I don’t give a shit about whether they’ve fallen out with each other or not.

I mean, it’s not of interest to me either but are you really unaware of some people being interested in celebrities and where they might access and discuss the information? That’s fascinating that the knowledge might have passed you by!
