what’s going on with Brooklyn Beckham?

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………

To be fair, the (late) Duke of Westminsters kids seem to have done a fair bit. Wiki tells me that the current Duke graduated in countryside management (got a lot to look after) and his daughter works for prison reform. At least they probably had some structure and routine in their lives.

Another interesting family is the Murdoch family.. They’re all successful in their own right but the tension between them is clear and after the most recent rows over changing the terms of the trust fund, there is probably no way back.

Beckhams are worth half a billion which is certainly generational wealth that requires careful management. Yet none of the kids went into finance or philanthropy. That would have been the obvious career for the rich offspring.

I don’t think they’re academic enough - not a criticism.

He was going to inherit the title so that degree was probably ideal as there is a lot of responsibility/money but you have to want to do it. In theory the Beckham children inherit the brand but will it be worth anything? I'll presume they all have their own internet domains etc. k

Can it really be true the BB relationship fully a sham with him on dating sites. Find this hard to believe.

Yellowstonemaddnesa · 13/08/2025 21:24

I think it's very sad that with all that money it seems no one has got to the bottom of BB Sen issues.

I don't think spelling witch is a heinous crime ,could be an innocent phone typo which happens to me all the bloody time even when I battle with the thing and re write what word I want it changes it still. Then i give up
However it could denote that he doesn't have his homophones and perhaps have dyslexia , coupled with mum at an also seemingly expensive school and yet managed to never read a book?

How did BB get through expensive education with rich parents and never had this addresses?

I agree with earlier posters that he as the eldest son probably bore much of vb anguish at David's affairs just as Prince William did.

However I'm not convinced np is an evil older manipulator who has turned him against his family. In my experience the seeds are usually there to begin with.

It seems to me battle lines were drawn after wedding no 1 and BB has made a choice. Maybe vb didn't like not being center stage or having her dress on show who knows. .what I do know is nP family dwarfs that of the Beckham's
My biggest confusion is what does she see in him of all people ??

Think I agree on NP but her ex, Anwar, the family did feel he’d been sucked in. His mother apparently contacted Victoria.

Yellowstonemaddnesa · 13/08/2025 21:34

Perhaps but if you saw Yolanda on Beverly hills i wouldn't trust her word and she doted on Anwar ....

Yellowstonemaddnesa · 13/08/2025 21:35

Somerimes they like a gf /spouse they can control and who they can still be queen bee too.

Bruisername · 13/08/2025 21:37

I can say with first hand knowledge that a lot of top schools don’t give a fig about kids with Sen issues and will happily just get them to leave rather than deal with it or help

HairyToity · 13/08/2025 21:50

The occasional aristocrat goes off the rails, and they get lots of coverage in papers, but you're probably talking one in twenty. Majority don't. They can honestly be quite normal! I know one who has a title he doesn't use, and the estate / money's all gone.

In not my direct experience but close family members:

If they're good at sports they'll get bumped up just enough to scrape by.

Not enough to actually address the underlying SEN, but they'll get them through just enough one way or another.

Bruisername · 13/08/2025 21:53

Yeah but if they’re not good at sport and have a learning difficulty despite being super intelligent they’ll let them crash and burn because they have enough kids doing well that they don’t bother helping

Yep

And the ones good at sport do not get the help they need either, they just get them through... Other ways

DB was gorgeous when his whole body wasn't covered in ink.

He was probably one of the most eligible men in Europe when he and Victoria got together. Good looking, playing for a legendary team and she a pop star but arguably the less famous. No wonder the Press were crazy. He was the poster boy for Metrosexual. Someone I know met him at a fashion show back then and just described him as 'groomed' meaning his appearance was considered and he looked beautiful (to my friend). He seemed to break the taboo of having tattoos. Advertisers clamoured to use him esp if he had his shirt off to display that cruciform tattoo.

Yellowstonemaddnesa · 13/08/2025 22:00

@Bruisername that's when a parent steps in to say , my child can't read what's going on..
Or a grandparent.

What chance has Sen kids got

Yellowstonemaddnesa · 13/08/2025 22:01

@Pedallleur weren't spice girls at the top of their field then ?? It was a mania

Not so easy when it’s an unusual learning difficulty though…

Yes I seem to remember they were both megastars but she was a little more. Match made in tabloid heaven

Yellowstonemaddnesa · 13/08/2025 22:04

Does BB have an unusual learning difficulty ,a very uneducsted guess VB and BB and probably dB at the very least dyslexia and dB possibly ADHD maybe ASD.re dB endless energy and needs to be on a project all the time and the OCD clothes

Sennelier1 · 13/08/2025 22:06

Well, he bragged about his pasta carbanara where he burned the guanciale. I guess he needs affirmation his wife still loves him. Lóts of affirmation.

No idea. His parents don’t seem to value education though so they may not have been concerned if he wasn’t achieving

Yellowstonemaddnesa · 13/08/2025 22:14

@Bruisername yes because they are in a cycle of Sen and failing at school
So depressing that even all that money couldn't help their DC no experts on hand to support them

I think this is true. I remember seeing a behind the scenes video from one of the fashion weeks VB was showing at, Nicola was stood chatting to someone with Brooklyn lurking behind her. VB came over and started trying to engage with him but he brushed her off and started tugging at the back of Nicole's jeans, even though she was still mid chat.

To be fair she's a better woman than me because she just carried on talking and ignored him. I'd have turned round and told him to FTFO. It was extremely cloying behaviour from a grown man.
