Brooklyn missed the Sir David Beckham knighthood

[Mistymeg]

How far is too far?

Brooklyn has missed his Dad’s 50th birthday celebrations (in London, Cotswolds and Miami).

His mums Netflix premier and family summer holiday to Italy, instead going to South of France.

Crucially, his Dads Knighthood.

Of course we don’t know at this point if he was in fact invited to Windsor Castle given his no shows elsewhere.

Have you had a family feud, with a parent or sibling notably. How long did it go on for, what did you miss of one another’s and is it still going and why?

AIBU to think Brooklyn is going to regret this one day.

The family photo’s were probably an arranged photoshoot after the ceremony.

It’s obvious that Brooklyn has cut contact with them. It’s sad as they always seem like a very close, loving family and I’ve only ever heard nice things about D&V.

I do have family who have done the same thing. A cousin who cut contact with his parents and sister. Eventually married and had a child his parents never met either his wife or child. His parents both died never seeing him again or meeting his wife and child. Very difficult to understand even for me as a close relative.

His name and fame of course. Peltz has been trying to make it as a starlet for years and no one had heard of her before she married Brooklyn. She had the money but not the fame.

It very much depends doesn’t it - I don’t think anyone outside of the family can pass judgement as we don’t know what happened.

I became estranged from my Father at 10 years old (my choice) and didn’t see him again; he died when I was in my late 30’s. I didn’t regret it.

If that’s really all it was there surely are other choices & she’s not acting now or starletting, so…

He seems like a nice lad so there’s that I guess…

She wrote, directed and acted in a film last year which bombed despite the Beckham association so perhaps you are right. She is very famous now which she wasn't before she met and married Brooklyn. She dated the Hadid sisters' brother for a while but rumour is that his parents discouraged the relationship as they saw through her quest for fame. I have no idea why I know this, I think I spend too much time scrolling twitter!!

Don’t know much about what the Beckham family are meant to be like behind closed doors, but it’s well reported that the Peltz family are a nightmare, allegedly

Vic and Dave are greedy, fame hungry people who need their ego's feeding constantly.

Maybe he got fed up with it all.

He was probably busy making a sandwich.

Brooklyn Beckham is a bonehead who is married to a greedy fame-hungry egocentric whackjob. So, ya know...

Who cares. I don’t even get why Beckham got a gong in the first place

Maybe Brooklyn was behind instead of in front of the camera?

Brooklyn, in case you are not aware, is a photographer of some renown.

Whatever has happened, it’s a very sad situation.

One of my brothers did this-for a couple years at a similar age to Brooklyn. Then he came back as he needed help, funnily enough...he had to eat some humble pie that's for sure, though he was welcomed back with open arms.

Thing was my brother cut off ALL of us when really his issue was with our other sibling and the preferential treatment he thought my parents gave him. My grandparents had done nothing wrong though, and he wouldn't answer the phone to them either. Shortly after he came back my grandad died, so at least he was there to say goodbye-but I'm sure he would've been happy never to have seen any of us again if his life hadn't taken a turn for the worst.

It kinda seems like it's a similar issue with Brooklyn and his sibling(s) falling out and the parents getting stuck in the middle? From what little I know about it anyway.

My brother has done the same. He’s cut off my dad and that side of the family over some perceived slight that didn’t actually happen.

Since meeting his wife there has been non stop random accusations of unfairness and outright lies. I’m stuck in the middle of it all. Both sides are petty but what he’s said to my dad (hasn’t been divulged to me fully) devastated him.
Every time my dad tries to reach out, my brother doubles down with it all.

It’s all just a bit odd and came from nowhere. There were zero issues until he met SIL. Even more odd is the fact they are both very close to my mum, who was an abusive narcissist when we were growing up and was the cause of a huge amount of physical and mental pain for us (although mainly dished out to me).

I was always quietly proud of having a small family with no drama and no family arguments. Until all this kicked off a couple of years ago. Now it weaves its way into so many conversations and I’m fed up of hearing his bitching.

Overrated people.

Don't blame him at all.

If I posted on here saying am I being unreasonable for being upset and hurt that my adult children don't all come on holiday with me every year, I'd be met with howls of derision and very justified accusations of being a smother mother.

Why is it incumbent on Brooklyn Beckham to go on holiday with his parents every year? Is it because they are super rich and the holiday will be incredibly luxurious? That doesn't really make sense to me.

The kids weren't at the investiture. The photos with them are after.

Victoria and his parents were the three guests at the actual investiture.

cant imagine how it feels to be on the receiving end of NC with your own child to be honest

Ash yes. He definitely learned from the best.

David Beckham has been so embarrassingly desperate from that knighthood, he's only got it through spitting his dummy out.

So cringe worthy.

Not sure if she's a 'whackjob'. Don't really see much about her. He certainly has his mummy and daddy's traits though - sense of entitlement being the main one.

But being pushed as a brand when he was a child, must carry some trauma.

When I seen the photo with the kids, I commented to my husband about the absence of Brooklyn so was wondering the same myself actually. Quite a significant moment to miss.

@Mistymegcan you link to where you’ve seen that DB’s other children were at the investiture? I’ve only read and seen photos which show his parents and wife were there. I’ve also seen photos taken elsewhere with the children.

As for Brooklyn, an earlier poster was bang on when she said maybe he didn’t want his entire childhood in the papers. Those kids have been horrendously exploited, they’ve been given no privacy which frankly is disgraceful. It’s nothing to do with having famous parents (there are plenty of celebrity parents who respect their children’s privacy and we have no clue what they look like, or even their names/ gender in some cases.) The Beckhams have exploited their children because they wanted to create a brand.

I don’t blame Brooklyn for going no contact and it wouldn’t wholly surprise me if the other kids do the same in time. They seem to be ok at the moment with playing the game and presumably enjoy the publicity but things could turn very easily. Brooklyn came off worst with the public ridicule for things like that photography book with a glitzy launch party. No doubt he thought it was great at the time but once he realised what a joke it made of him, who could blame him for resenting the way his parents pushed him into having these ‘opportunities.’ It’s no surprise to me that he got married very young, distanced himself from his parents and now seems to have gone no contact.

And that’s fine, but if one year you didn’t and your friends spread rumours that it was because you’d had a massive falling out then that would be a leap.

Sadly things happen and families do sometimes fall out and don’t speak for many many reasons.

I am no contact with a sibling now. It’s been 4 years and my family are so much happier and feel like a weight has been lifted off us. We put up with their crap for a very long time until enough was enough. They could come back now and apologise but sadly it doesn’t make up for everything they have done so I would still not want anything to do with them.

There's obviously more going on than we are being fed via the media. Time to leave Brooklyn alone, but sadly his parents will keep feeding the media with stories and paint him in a bad light as the ungrateful rich boy whose parents gave him everything (other than a normal media free childhood).

I'm surprised Vicky's parents weren't there, they go to everything else.

Respectfully, was your brother spoilt? Brooklyn clearly is, my sister is very much spoilt and the one who has cut contact. Many years younger than me with a totally different childhood. I just can’t see many children who grew up with little turning their backs on their family.
