Prince Harry and Brooklyn Beckham

Not a good look for our British families

The Beckhams’ once-flawless brand and PR machine have finally taken a dent.

Will Brooklyn be tempted to write a tell all or speak out, like Harry? Surely the Beckhams have their own skeletons, and you can bet the media will bait Brooklyn until he cracks.

Makes me feel somewhat better about my own dysfunctional family.

I feel for David though, his 50th will have been overshadowed by his son. Give, give, give and in return their first born cannot put differences aside to attend.

AIBU to think that parents who give their kids everything just end up creating entitled brats who are so detached from reality, add little to society and throw it all back in their poor parents faces. should there not be some kind of study, research or guidance on how to stop this happening. The world has enough problems.

This is hilarious. Nicola sounds every inch the billionaire business daughter from hell.

@Bambamhoohoo which wedding and what were the issues?

I'm being totally nosey here but did anyone read the mail article it's behind pay wall.

Does anyone know why and what's going on

Shitmonger · 04/05/2025 22:29

When the Beckhams named Brooklyn, do you think they knew that it’s a girl’s name in America? 🤔

elladella · 04/05/2025 22:30

What's it got to do with Harry?!

AIBU to think that parents who give their kids everything just end up creating entitled brats

Everything? They certainly didn't give him privacy & made him part of their Brand. I think that would fuck up many a kid!

Bet there are attachment issues.

I think it's, more that, now he's a married man he prefers to be with his wife, no?

a version of it is in the rolling stone article I linked. Short story- Brooklyn and Nicolas wedding, they went through loads of wedding planners because they were so difficult (the final ones appear to have only come on board 4 weeks before the wedding) and the Nicolas dad tried to sue one of the wedding planners they’d hired

the submitted court documents showed a) what a shit show it was b) how thick Brooklyn and Nicola are and c) how nasty her dad was

The lesson for parents is to never, ever trust your kids with family secrets. Keep them at a distance end recognise that they’re the enemy from day one. 😊

It’s front page news. I had no idea until Piers Morgan went for it.

Then I did some digging and it is indeed headline news this evening on ahem the Daily Mail with 2k comments.

This is what is wrong with the world. Why the hell do people care about privileged strangers to this extent?

It's so stupid.

It wasn't on social media so it didn't happen!

@Bambamhoohoo thanks x posted.
Strange that the main concern was that vb wouldn't find out

There something interesting going on there I reckon

As far as I know, BB hasn’t been slating his family in the press/books and done a Netflix show about them. It’s not the same situation. Harry has criticised his family repeatedly and doesn’t seem to understand why they don’t want to talk to him.

This made me laugh! Whatever we do, no doubt we’ll mess them up & it‘ll be used against us one day!

He tried as a footballer - failed miserably. He tried as a musician - failed spectacularly. He tried as a photographer - failed moderately. He tried as a chef and almost succeeded.

I think he failed because he never studied his craft so to speak.
Getting to do a Burberry photo shoot at 17 that just doesn't happen unless you have a famous surname.

XWKD · 04/05/2025 22:45

The Beckhams aren't a famous family. Outside of the British tabloids that is.

Not that it matters as same applies, but was it not Romeo that did the burberry shoot? 🤔

nm I just google it, brooklyn did his first I think then romeo did but was younger 😆

Bambamhoohoo · 04/05/2025 22:59

Very randomly, Brooklyn SHOT a Burberry photo shoot. Tbh those photos were great (maybe they just patted him on the head and used another photographers ones though)

I wouldn’t describe 40 as young?

Oi, you watch your mouth. It’s extremely young!

SchrodingersTwat2 · 04/05/2025 23:02

Surely this thread of drivel is all supposition?

Spaceracer10 · 04/05/2025 23:09

Yabu because you have no idea what BB is like as a person or why he wasn’t there.

H&M are apparently the villains for challenging the status quo and what an upstart M is for having more than one husband and daring to cut out her toxic family. Doesn’t she know what is expected of a woman these days? It’s only men who are allowed to marry lots of times and advance themselves.

How dare Harry expect to have armed guards each time he visits the UK, without question. He’s only the King’s son for goodness sake….
