surely this was the whole issue with Brooklyn, all the instagram nonsense

I do get it’s also possible she did it herself off her own bat as she misses her brother.

It’s all Brand Beckham and they can’t help themselves. They make money every time we click and read.

Even Harper posted a photo of her brothers - including Brooklyn - as part of a valentines post which is weird in itself. Just don’t post anything at all?

Yeah I did wonder how much encouragement/telling Harper had had to make that post. So V&D think they can’t make posts as they’ve been asked/told not to and won’t want to upset him. But hey, he hasn’t said anything about Harper so let’s see if this tugs on his heart strings, I mean he can’t get mad at little sis can he?

You seemed suprised that people who have spent their lives courting attention are doing things for attention, before it was magazines and showbiz columns they used now it is instagram, maybe Brooklyn has a point.

that is exactly my point.
they are obviously not listening to Brooklyn - although to be fair, Harper is young

Well to be fair Gordon Ramsay was talking about it, somebody follows all these celebs so they can make it "news" BB didn't say anything.

The article is about Gordon Ramsey posting something, not the Beckhams though. Im not sure they can control what others choose to post.

no, there was mention
On Valentine's Day, youngest sibling Harper posted a tribute to "the best big brothers in the world", accompanied by a childhood photograph featuring Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.
Victoria subsequently reshared the image on her Instagram Stories, though Brooklyn hasn't publicly acknowledged it.

i guess the kids, ie, Harper, is totally brought up like this, as are many people
but this was Brooklyn's complaint

I read about what Gordon said yesterday and thought it was obvious Brooklyn was going to unfollow/fall out with him now. Gordon would have been better keeping his mouth shut and trying to maintain a relationship so that he at least had that then maybe in the future he could have helped them. But he couldn't do it

They are going to do to their other kids what they've done to their eldest. They're like one of those insular, "we're ^family", nightmare families that everyone knows and keeps their distance from.

The valentines posts are weird.

They wouldn't make money if they had kept their lives and their children's lives private.

I don't know how they didn't think selling their dc's privacy was wrong and would cause problems when they reached adulthood.

timoteigirl · 15/02/2026 09:13

They don't know how to. They don't want to because being in media seems to be essential for their identity.

TurtleAteMyHomework · 15/02/2026 09:11

They get paid to share their lives and must think the money is worth it.
