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.

Victoria and his parents were at the actual knighting by the look of the photos, His children were there but they were probably waiting outside

I’ve just read that last line and it cracked me up 😂
Op spill the tea, what did Brooklyn tell you that makes you think he’s regret missing the party 👀 👀

I can't muster up a single bit of a fuck tbh. Who cares?

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?

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

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

It’s a discussion. If you have nothing to say and don’t care why did you comment.

Show quote history

Because my comment is as valid as yours. You’ve chosen to care about people you don’t know and who know nor care nothing about you, whilst I don’t.

JaneJeffer · 04/11/2025 18:49

Maybe he doesn’t like crowds. He’s 26 years old and can do whatever he wants.

MyAcornWood · 04/11/2025 18:48

I don’t think it’s right to judge either side, given we don’t know the ins and outs of the issues at hand. Let people do what they think is right, and obviously he feels it’s right to distance himself.
I am NC with a parent. They haven’t been in my life since I was 14, so have missed academic achievements, my wedding, my children being born and growing up… I don’t regret it, nor have I ever regretted it! I have, however, had countless know it all knobheads tell me I will, or that it’s sooooo sad. No, it actually isn’t.

You are being wildly unreasonable to know this info, let alone care, unless you're a close relative.

Although, you know it too now…

TheRocksStoppedRolling · 04/11/2025 18:46

I think you’re unreasonable to say he’ll regret it one day without knowing what has happened. His reasons may be completely justifiable.

I don’t have any contact with a couple of family members. I still get people saying ‘you’ll regret it’ and ‘maybe you will make up one day’. Erm no. It’s been 15 years and the things they did were horrendous. If you don’t know the full story, it’s best not to comment.

TorroFerney · 04/11/2025 18:45

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.

Every newspaper article and website I’ve seen say just his parents and wife were there.

You only have to read one sentence of one article to see the roll call of milestone events he’s missed… hardly need to be a close relative, after all, there are multiple social media posts feeding the online tabloid press, so if we don’t read it, we see it.

Do you go on every family holiday with your parents?

Why do you care though? They're not your family. It has no impact on your life. It's none of your business. I don't get why this is interesting?

Show quote history

Did you read the post? I asked if anyone else was in this situation. How far is too far. Etc. I happen to be NC with a family member and it resonated. It’s a discussion forum, why does anyone care about anyone else’s business full stop. Especially given many posts are fabricated.

It is a real shame, Brooklyn seems like he is a bit simple, and his fiercely ambitious wife may tire of him one day. Hopefully he hasn't completely burnt his bridges with his parents and sibings as he may need them one day, or may not - who knows, or thinking about it genuinely cares!

Brooklyn has made his bed. Brooklyn is now lying in said bed 😉

I don’t follow the Beckhams, or any other celebrities, but I’m willing to bet a lot of what you think you know about this situation is entirely made up by the press.

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

Runningismyhappyplace50 · 04/11/2025 18:15

This situation makes me feel sad (I am over invested- I know).

I hope they are able to sort this out whatever the issue is. Wonder if he in contact with any of this siblings.
