I believe he believes his narrative and they believe theirs. They however did nothing to protect him from the media as a child and have therefore raised quite a mixed up young man in what must have been a fairly toxic environment.
The bit about the dogs is weird though! Why did they need VB to help the dogs, she's a billionaire heiress her family can rescue all the dogs!!

🤣🤣🤣.
I was wondering if that was Lady Becks gracing us with her presence, but actually I don't think she cares as much as the PP about Harper's welfare.

Her brand on the other hand...

🤣

Bob Geldof lost his ex wife and daughter to addiction and suicide.

Are you really this tone deaf?

What are you on about? I'm just saying it is possible to choose your own life even if you are born into the machine, people have done it. Nothing weird about that.

No, it's Lady Beckham. Lady Victoria would be the daughter of a Duke or an Earl (a la Lady Diana Spencer).

The Prime Minister's wife is Lady Starmer.

BB and NP are both nepo babies. At least DB and VB made their own success. Maybe they didn’t get it all right but everything their children have had and enjoyed has been thanks to what they did.

Someone explained it in this thread or the other one. The Valentino dress was her changing into dress for the evening. But when V let her down she used it as her wedding dress.

Except that’s not true, according to this interview from Nicola, she only approached Valentino AFTER VB said she couldn’t make the dress and then we know from the Vogue article that it was a year of customisation with Valentino.

You need to scroll all the way down for the relevant section:

Well, I was planning on wearing Victoria’s wedding dress,” Nicola tells GRAZIA USA to set the record straight, “and I was truly so excited to be able to wear a design that my future mother-in-law created. I thought that was so beautiful and such a beautiful story.” Nicola’s close friend, the stylist Leslie Fremar, and mother, Claudia, were helping design the gown. “I thought, ‘Oh, this is going to be so fun. One of my best friends and my mom.’ We connected to start designing the dress, and then a few days went by and I didn’t hear anything. Victoria called my mom and said her atelier couldn’t make it. So, I spoke to my mom and Leslie, and I was like, ‘Well, unfortunately, this can’t happen, so what’s the next step?’ I’ve been a fan of Valentino and their couture for so long. I was really lucky to be able to travel to [the atelier] to try on the dress. That’s really what happened.”

I agree 😟.

And I know that nothing can be judged based on one snapshot but it does look incredibly toxic between them. I was surprised at the time that David didn't even give her his jacket to try and cover some of the staining.

Makes one wonder how things really are when the megawatt smiles aren't turned on.

Awful I would say. Can’t imagine living like that.

I personally wouldn't be surprised if D and V divorce in the not so distant future.

Unlikely. After all the work into brand beckham with David’s numerous affairs, this will not make them divorce. They will continue.

This. It boils my head that people are out working hard everyday and someone with no visible talent or work ethic is worth 10 million. It's not right.

Re THE BRAND - by all means brand yourself, but leave your kids out of it. How would they suddenly cope with all that money but no parents or guidance or jobs?

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 20/01/2026 13:33

The thing I remember about the wedding dress was that a lot of it was in the papers about how hurt and upset VB was at being "snubbed" over designing it. But if that wasn't the case and the story hadn't been planted by Team Becks it does make one wonder why did they not put a statement on the IG page or something refuting those claims.

Bizarrely Susannah Constantine has just posted on instagram that she is team brooklyn. Not sure why she feels the need to weigh in publicly

Well maybe she knows what the Beckhams are like and feels sorry for Brooklyn.

I thibk his point was that they were always going to her fashion shows and supporting her but the one time they asked she said no

also bear in mind his career aspirations were pushed by his parents. He wasn’t the one who organised the photos being published and the gallery showing. His parents did all of that when they should have told him to hold off. He was only 18

Am I the only one who has never heard of a "celeb" called Marc Anthony and every time I read about Marc Anthony standing on the stage I have a vision of a bloke saying "I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him"?

Who else thinks Harry and Brooklyn will do a podcast, or a Netflix documentary?

It’s all very sad but why the heck would Victoria want to have the first dance with her son (and I think I read “on” her son)?

To be fair, she was wearing all black and it was dark so he might have thought the stain wasn’t visible or maybe he was a bit drunk himself; maybe he didn’t even know she wet herself.

If you remember back then, it was the era of the paparazzi using multi-flash and preflash metering and many celebrities were getting caught out, for example, their mismatched / unflattering underwear that couldn’t otherwise be seen was suddenly getting illuminated. This is the problem when you look back at yesteryear as often the nuance is forgotten.
