so he’s done a vow renewal after only getting wed in 2022 and none of his siblings or parents were there, just seems to have been organised by his billionaire wife’s parents. It looks like a very deliberate fuck you to his family. What can they have done to deserve such shocking treatment? It’s bizarre. And let’s hope the marriage to the (reportedly prickly, hard work) billionaire works, so he doesn’t have to come crawling back to Mum and Dad………

It’s odd but also fascinating. They are like birds in a gilded cage, fluttering aimlessly about whilst shitting all over the place. Poor Posh.

Beautifully put! 😁

Christ if that were the rule what the heck are the old drug taking womanising scandalous rock stars Jagger, Rod Stewart, Elton John etc Knights of the realm!

Why do none of these people produce scientists or teachers or some other useful type of human being?

Gordon Ramesy has a son in the marines & Jamie Olivers daughter is a student nurse

I think Nicola is getting a bad rap. All the photos and videos I’ve seen of her show her to be genuinely smiling and laughing. And yet Victoria is famous for never smiling or laughing and eating steamed fish and vegetables every single day for about 30 years.

I think it’s really creepy how that 30 year old girlfriend of 20 year old Cruz is parading around half naked on their yacht. Like watching your young kid taking on a bizarre responsibility.

I find Cruz's relationship yucky, I have no issues with age gaps (had a 7 year one with my ex) but he looks like a child. What does a 30 year old see in a 19 year old child with no discernable direction in life? I wonder of the rumours of her being a paid girlfriend are actually true!

He becomes king by birth, regardless of his conduct.
Knighthoods are supposed to be for upstanding citizens rather than shysters.

Well we had better empty the HoL right away and review the Honours List for the last 60 years. Shysters, perverts, embezzlers, fraudsters,liers, charlatans are de rigeur on there

Have now been diverted to the Amazon reviews, I could have written pretty much every one of them ... love this as an example

After reading this book and viewing the photography included ,as a professional photographer with 20 years experience I have been inspired by Brooklyn to become a brain surgeon. He has shown me that i require no talent, aptitude, training and most importantly skill in order to master any vocation I choose , my only concern is that my parents aren't very rich so i might struggle to get any notoriety in my chosen new profession, but I look forward to publishing my first book "Pre-frontal Lobotomies for Dummies" I will dedicate it to Brooklyn.

I’m pissing myself here!

When football and lack of musical talent maje you a sir and then your kids marry billionaires, what do you expect.

Money having is nice. But life has hidden dimensions which need exploring.

Bathingforest · 12/08/2025 18:27

I'm sad for Victoria. All this parading as perfect in everything and there you go. Bullshit built on a man running after a silly ball,s fame

EasyTouch · 12/08/2025 18:28

I've not read through this thread, but here is my opinion.
Brooklyn has had a front row seat to his parents' marriage, which is highly rumoured to be dysfunctional, but one which neither will leave outside of a coffin.
Ms Peltz's parents' marriage is not a concern of decades long rumours of infidelity, outside children, sidepiece NDAs, having to smile at functions where one's husband has more than one ex sidepiece in attendance and him having a best friend (not Mr Neville) who is an enthusiastic wingman who shares the same "community dick" activities.
Brooklyn has escaped them and their pr and their need to be seen as a close knit family .

As indolent as she appears, it could only be a straight shooting American who would show Mr and Mrs Beckham that they.are not the boss of their son.

Worse, she comes from wealth which makes them look like Hurry Come Ups.
And I bet that Brooklyn has found a real confidante in Nicola.
All of the Beckham boys seem listless with Harper being the Golden Child.

Nchangeo · 12/08/2025 18:33

Honestly how would we know what’s gone on?! Some families are just awful or have toxic dynamic. Who’s knows. Maybe the beckhams are one of them.

Bruisername · 12/08/2025 18:36

I don’t like the way the beckhams push their kids into the spotlight. For Brooklyn in particular it’s made him a figure of fun and escaping to the states and being with someone who doesn’t care about his name must be liberating

we don’t know how his relationship with his parents was before he met Nicola - perhaps he felt stifled and controlled but not protected and he gets the opposite in his marriage

i hope for his sake that his marriage works tbh as I do feel sorry for him

Are the Ramseys and Olivers families still uk based? Maybe that makes a difference?

Pedallleur · 12/08/2025 18:39

It must be hard being the son or daughter of talent that makes a fortune. Your parent or parents become successful so how can you better that? One of Springsteens sons is a firefighter, one of Roger Taylor (Queen) sons is a GP. You have to do do something different to make your mark. If you could be a Nobel Prize winner fantastic but your parents are rich so what incentive is there for you unless you are motivated. Can you imagine winning a large amount of money and having teenagers. Would they go to work/university or would they want to be on holiday for the rest of their lives? That's a holiday with beautiful people and everything privilege buys

I don’t think they are great parents - he has had numerous affairs. She has an eating disorder which must impact the whole family. The children have presumably had the best of education yet have not gone on to further study etc. They all seem a bit pointless to be honest and I would think I had failed as a parent if my children grew up with no drive or direction.

This in a nutshell. Two boring, vain , empty individuals who just threw money around, without modelling anything to their children.

I imagine having access to large amounts of cash from a young age makes a big difference. My children would have to work on summer hols as late teens etc regardless of ££ & certainly for a living.

Didn’t Beckhams get Brooklyn a job in a cafe, though?

Mr Peltz is religious & apparently honours his wife, his led to rebellion in Brooklyn as he reflects on his parents marriage?

Jack and Bobby Charlton, Rio and Les Ferdinand. Brothers but obviously both brothers were talented.

I'm sure Peter Schmeichel's son plays football too.

ETA Anton Ferdinand is Rio's brother, Les is their cousin, their other cousin also plays.

He sure does play, cracking keeper.

Much agreed, sadly BB and his chum Prince Harry have neither the intelligence nor tenacity to achieve these types of career.

Victoria Beckham doesn't appear to be very close to David's family so maybe Brooklyn's wife is just doing the same? It's hardly surprising that kids pick up their cues from their families.

I don’t that’s the case she seems very close to his mother and sister. It’s a very sad case as they have given their kids everything and something has happened to totally fracture the relationship. I don’t like the timing if this and the selling pics etc by Brooklyn and his wife. It seems very spiteful

Perhaps they thought they needed to do it so soon in case they marriage doesn’t last. TBH the only people I know who have renewed their vows have split up soon after.

Or they just love the attention

LidlAmaretto · 12/08/2025 19:39

Imagine starting out at something and having millions of people take the piss. If your dad’s mate helps you onto an electrical apprenticeship or whatever, nobody shouts nepotism or says oh aren’t you shit at electrics (yes because you just started). Gordon Ramsay is literally his dad’s mate and helped him with cheffing
Of course most parents, if they had contacts in the types of areas their kids wanted to go into would help them as much as they could. Nepotism can only get you a foot in the door. Once you get there you have to work hard to be accepted and then still demonstrate you have the talent. No one is going to give an ex footballers son, or even an actors kid £££ if they don't have any talent or draw crowds or are just simply awful/crap/dont do any work. The difference is that the Beckham's haven't given their kids a foot in the door. They have thrown money at every single whim they have without instilling any work ethic. It was 'Heres a few thousand quid for you to publish your book of shit photography with zero effort from you'. IMO its why the kids are useless at everything. They have the doors opened but they surely must have been told by their parents that that is all they need. When people talk about nepo babies, yes they are irritating because they have a foot in the door that others don't but once they have an established career at least they have worked on it and established themselves. And many have proved excellent in their own right.

Exactly the public face presented maybe very very different to what goes on behind closed doors.

Yellowstonemaddnesa · 12/08/2025 20:07

@EasyTouch

You being sarcastic but I don't know about either peltz or beckhams much so I guess your describing the Beckham's there ?

The whole thing seems weird and I wonder what else went on to get to this stage re the famous wedding.

However I really like her mum's old dress and feel the pics are really pretty .

cheezncrackers · 12/08/2025 20:08

If you type Brooklyn Beckham into Google it comes up with 'Brooklyn Beckham: Former Photographer' 😆

Was there a launch party for his book?
