what’s going on with Brooklyn Beckham?

[jallyj]

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………

Oh the Windsors! I like Harry and believe he's left a really really toxic family and exposed the lot of them for what they are. The only exception I would make is Queen Elizabeth who was a wonderful Queen for over 70 years.

I do really like Posh and Becks and admire what they have done for their lives. It's very sad about Brooklyn and although you can't really tell anything from a photo, there's something about Nicola I just can't warm to.

My shameful secret is that I've always quite fancied Harry. (I know... 🫣)

I did ask my gay mate once if it was wrong, and he just said "It would be wrong not to" 🤷🏻‍♀️ so I'm not the only one!

Yes and I doubt the Oliver and Ramsay kids had (full time) nannies or were packed off to boarding school, (which the two younger Beckham boys certainly attended because they went to school with several of my friends’ children), while their parents pursued their separate endeavours around the world. Tana and Jools seemed to be incredibly hands-on and very much the load bearers of the family behind the scenes. Plus as mentioned, Jamie and Gordon are real grafters and famous as a result of genuine and enduring talent, and haven’t chased fame like David and Victoria.

If you are going to commit to the Beckham’s hands-off style of parenting, it would take a particularly united effort to counterweight the effects of this. From the evidence gathered of the questionable solidity of their relationship combined with their rather vacuous values, I can’t really imagine Vic and David have had either the emotional intelligence or meeting of minds to work on the shortfalls that this style of parents offers to children.

I feel similarly. Nelson Peltz doing wedding vows - Godfather vibes.

This is the theory that I believe is true
Since the reporting of said ‘feud’ the Brand Beckham has had so many headlines and social media attention
This attention is what they all crave; what else will give them publicity, they’re selling what they’ve always sold: themselves
This speculation over the alleged family feud has reignited the Brand
i think one has brilliant PR work at play

He's too young for me but I do like him. I think losing Diana when he was so young has obviously had a deep impact on him. I just hope the future works out for him.

Agree. He deeply traumatised and humiliated VB. I believe she deeply loved him and her little family. He shattered that repeatedly but she stuck it out. I suspect him paying millions to keep her hobby, loss making, design business afloat was his 'pay back'. But she wanted to keep the family together which must have been difficult without all the shagging around and when he regularly upped and left for a new job in the US / Spain etc with zero notice. He always did what he wanted and met his own needs - VB and the kids had to keep following him around the world. Very emotionally disruptive for everyone. My bestie is a child pyschologist and regularly has to support teenagers / young adults who have experienced a disruptive ex-pat lifestyle. You have to question what was the point if you earned $$$$ but your DCs are left with significant emotional issues and/or chronic MH issues.

I also think that VB had a very early 'red flag' in the very early days of their relationship when there was media coverage of him 'kissing' (as if) another woman and she said that she would stand by him as 'it wasnt a sending off offence'.

I wonder if VB would have had a happier life if she had married the electrician she was enaged to, raising her DCs around the corner from her parents and siblings?

DB's own family is tricky. His parents are divorced (his dad was shagging around). His Dad was emotionally quite brutal (DB went NC with him for years and only reconnected when his DF was very ill) - and I expect that DB wanted to be the opposite of his DF - so spoiled his DCs which is similarly poor and deficient parenting (although he probably didnt realise this).

The NF doc is interesting - clearly they have 100% control to make it a glossy cover up - but VB's brittle emotional state and 'hidden' pain is palpable throughout IMHO.

I think it is a combination of a few things that have ended up with them both looking like lazy spoiled children with no direction and little talent or ability to their name.

Neither also seem to have any real friends who have the ability to see how they really look to everyone else

Pretty sure they think everyone is jealous of them.

The problem with having no talent, no ability, no focus and nothing to occupy their time is that they have all the time in the world to think about every word that has been said to them and find fault and nastiness in the most innocent remark

I would say that there is probably some misinterpretation between how American people talk to each other and British people talk to each other. Add that in with someone who is painfully aware he married up and will do anything to keep his wife and her billionaire family happy and he will cut off his own family to please them.

I would say the next thing to occupy them is having a child or getting a divorce. Hopefully his family will take him back if they get a divorce. If not I think it will be a rude awakening that he has to work to put a roof over his head (presume there is an iron clad pre nup)
Being lazy, having no talent, an over inflated ego as well as having not a clue how the world works aren’t exactly qualifications for any job.

However judging by his CV there is one place he could get a job

Subway

Yes DB may well have been compensating, understandable. I always remember when they were Skiing & the paps followed V/D around back of chalet to see her giving him a big slap around the face. She’s no victim it seems despite everything.

Had she posted on here, she'd be told in no uncertain terms to Leave the Bastard! He's an absolute arsehole to her, even his teasing is really him having a dig at her background (my ex used to do similar).

I always find it interesting that people assume he's the nice one in the relationship. There's a reason she's so insecure, clingy, and rarely smiles.

It’s not harsh to be ordinary. Most of the population are.

I think the negative PR generated by the 'fued' works for B & N ... as it gets them both headlines and visibility neither of them can generate alone. They are also seemingly going down the couple, power brand route as they rarely post on any individual endeavors. Seems to be paying off as they did a Moncler campaign together recently.

But there is no way that the negative PR generated by the 'fued' has any benfits for D&V's brand.

When lots of people who have talent AND education AND experience often never get there of course people will have something to say when someone who has neither jumps over them.

And this was VB's experience zero talent and made it big so can understand that she thinks the world will work like that for her DCs.

Something that Victoria said has always stuck with me. She said 'If David ever left me, I would die of a broken heart'.

VB grafted though, a dancer has discipline. She’s not lost interest in her fashion line.

@latetothefisting and the Burberry photo shoot..aye right an unqualified kid would get such a gig.

And he’s being awarded a knighthood!

That's very sad. But I think that she already has a broken heart - he did abandon her emotionally and physically many times - she's just living through it.

Maybe someone like N P-B being in your immediate family who likely said what she saw when VB was holding all of that together was just too much for her....and I suspect she feels the estrangment from BB very deeply as she is already emotionally fragile.

There’s a difference between calling them ordinary and calling them failures. They’ve barely begun their lives.

I did despair when Brooklyn was named Brooklyn.
He seems not to have found independence or adult self respect.

What???

Brooklyn is heading for 27 - he's in his late 20's - left education almost a decade ago.

With all of the cash, contacts and opportunities at his disposal you would have thought he would have found his path in the last 10 years.

You reap what you show, David and Victoria should have protected their kids better, and spoilt them less.

Someone referred to them all as failures and I was merely pointing out that two of them are still teenagers!

Cruz & Romeo arguably bigger crosses to bear.

In many ways it is 'affluent neglect' - dragging them around the world, disrupting their education, any friendships and consequently their emotional development, dropping them into boarding school, foisting them into the media spotlight, dragging them around with them socially as young teens - all the focus from the parents as PP said earlier is on what you look like - is totally shallow and a very insecure and shifting foundation on which any of them could anchor themselves to grow their own secure identity. I would imagine it was a very difficult emotional environment to grow up in with an often physically distant father and a broken hearted mother. BB likely absorbed the brunt of it - probs was his mums confidant as is often the case with the oldest DC (same as Prince William) so leaning on him in this insecure mess was always going to have consequences for him. Also I wonder if his youger brothers are closer in age and have each other and BB is an outsider or scapegoat in his own family?
