AIBU to feel sorry for Harper? If BB has an issue with his parents it shouldn’t mean that he also stops talking to his siblings. It’s equally as sad if the parents did choreographed the letter/visit.

Brooklyn Beckham accuses parents of using Harper for 'choreographed' house visit

Harper Beckham was spotted making a failed attempt to reunite with her brother Brooklyn, with a spokesperson dismissing the visit as another stunt from 'brand Beckham'

They’ve already made veiled threats about releasing the skeletons from his closet - I think they would rather destroy him than set him free tbh

He has so set himself free.

They are absolutely out to destroy him.

Oh no - he’s smirking 🙄

Indeed. How DARE he contract his own facial muscles upwards.

BeardySchnauzer · 16/06/2026 15:24

Did no one sit them down and say ‘look, he’s married and he doesn’t need your money anymore. The best tactic is to reduce contact and just make a big deal of the few occasions he does attend’

i know people mocked them for bringing up VB not donating to the dog charity but I imagine it was the last straw - realised it was always take and never give

He was clearly mocking his mother who famously doesn’t smile

I mean it is hilarious that they think BB is mocking them in their advert. How narcissistic can you be to think this is all about you. Awww they are so hurt he got a deal and is earning money and is smiling whilst he does it.

David's probably livid as this gig of Brooklyn's is one of the last few remaining things he hasn't sold his soul to advertise, yet.

And is now inconsolable at seeing one of her children smiling and happy. #PrayersforPosh

As a scapegoat myself, I believe VB will be incredibly triggered to see him living life independently from her. She is not needed to validate him any more - this is her absolute worst nightmare.

Yes, D&B have lost all sense of perspective now, having surrounded themselves with family acolytes (including those two nightie-clad lookalike girlfriends, who seem to look like each other as well as Victoria), their paid PR, various other dependent employees, and in-their-pockets ‘celeb’ journalists.

No-one is getting through to them. I doubt anyone can, at this stage.

Yes, so true that Cruz and Romeo's girlfriends look uncannily like Victoria - it's so weird!

I think you have it absolutely spot on.
Also scapegoat is a terrible place to be in a family. I hope that as your name suggests, you are no longer being made one 💐.

Tableforjoan · 16/06/2026 15:52

She isn’t as clingy to the other boys as she was Brooklyn.

Harper is definitely David’s favourite I’d say. I’d even say that will add fuel to Vs jealousy as he is much more hands on with Harper than he even appears to want to touch his wife. That will sting for her.

Romeo the forgotten child.

Cruz V’s latest project since Brooklyn ran away.

and you can bet harpers product line will be well and truly tied up as a Beckham project she won’t individually be able to control or own the company even as an adult it will be brand Beckhams enterprise.

A mix of envy and loss of control for a narc. Envy because narcs are jealous of other peoples' authenticity, something they will never live because they can't drop the mask and access anything that might be underneath. It is her worst nightmare that her son seems happy without her. How dare he.

Twatalert · 16/06/2026 16:03

Pay close attention to what VD accuse BB of because this is exactly what THEY do and project onto him.

This is droves, especially the last paragraph.

Harper probably won’t be allowed to own her own name otherwise she’ll get ideas above her station, just like Brooklyn. Confused

Kbcdtyijgd · 16/06/2026 18:03

Watching videos of Romeo and he seems to suffer from tics, anxiety related ?

It will blow over for Brooklyn when people actually use brains and realise a World Cup advert wasn’t suddenly made and released all because of harper posting a letter the day prior which was a set up in the first place.

Just got to wait for the brains to engage.

Oh that’s probably very true. But the family feud has been going on for longer. So the whole “why aren’t I at the World Cup, it’s a long story” angle I think refers to the family feud regardless of the most recent shitshow.

i think it said to be continued so no doubt the next instalment will come up with a “reason” why he wasn’t there which has nothing to do with his parents.

JulietteHasAGun · 16/06/2026 18:20

Oh and the stuff in the daily mail today about “family friends of d&v” say xyz. That is so obviously d&v, either directly or a minion employee telling the press with their blessing. Obviously they can’t allow it to be thought that they have contacted the press to say xyz but they still want to control the narrative without everyone realised that they themselves are slagging their own son off.

victoria does have a habit of reading Mumsnet. As i remember well from a thread I started about them many, many years ago which she then discussed in an interview saying what a disgrace the thread and topic was 🙈😆. Wonder if she is reading this one.

Imagine being that evil to actually do that to the child you brought into this world and were meant to protect. Sick bastards.

GingerBeverage · 16/06/2026 19:15

I do think he will need his own money. It’s not unlikely he’ll find himself outside of the Peltz protection at some stage.

Living with this type of dysfunction totally messes with your nervous system.

Yes - although I really hope the relationship works out for his sake (not financial!)

IdentifyingAsAWoollyMammoth · 14/06/2026 13:47

Apparently he wasn't even in the city, so even if he wanted to see her he couldn't.

Can't believe I'm commenting on this when I really don't give a shit 😂

Same but I find myself musing over it.

I think BB is a twat. I do have some sympathy for him if he believes his parents did put “the brand” before him.

But I can’t get past him still cashing in on the Beckham name and doing a H&M privacy world tour sort of thing. He’d not have met/married NP if he wasn’t their son nor would he have the personal wealth he does.

if he hates brand Beckham so much, he should drop the name, rename his Cloud 23 shit (DB’s shirt number) and all things tied to his parents. See how far he gets then.

Sadly the rumours about NP from years ago are not flattering and involve being nasty to their house staff. Perhaps she’s grown out of it.

He can't help being a Beckham. I dont actually think he hates the brand. His issue is that the brand came before and above everything and he had no say for 18 or 21 years and they didn't like when he wanted to go and live his own life. As an adult. As far as I can see he isn't calling paps or buying a star.

Would be funny if the next one announced a pregnancy or something tbh 😅
