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'

I’ve been following the thread and drama for a while and flip flopping between who I support but the more I see it play out I think BB has raised valid issues with his family and the way he’s been brought up / treated.

For those who think the ad is innocuous and could’ve been done by anyone I think the “Easter eggs” in there are enough to prove that’s not the case - the biggest tell for me being the presence of the elephant picture in the hallway! The fact his parents allowed that to be published and subsequently ridiculed is enough to make me believe this is what they wanted for him for their own gain.

It is beyond me how anyone could have anything but contempt for D & V at this stage. The way Harper is being treated as a pawn in their business and is being groomed by them fully vindicates Brooklyn and his decisions.

To be fair, it does sound as if Cruz has some had some musicality fostered.

... a commemorative ticket welcoming fans to Cruz Beckham’s show in “Cardiff, England”

Not a single person in Team Beckham Family or Team Beckham PR thought to check and correct this? Or all they all that thick?

To quote Sister Michael, 'that's actually quite funny'.

Letsgetreadytorhumble · 18/06/2026 19:52

They probably don't even notice anything wrong lol

BeardySchnauzer · 18/06/2026 19:53

It they think it’s funny 🙄

😂😂😂.
Oh wowsers. Do we know if Cruz of playing any more shows in other famous English places? Glasgow perhaps? Belfast? Or the notoriously English, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (located just down the road from Hastings, I believe).

So now the DM has a paywall article about how Brooklyn could bring down brand Beckham. Can’t read it obviously but I don’t think he will bring it down. They will bring it down by bringing their behaviour into public which they are increasingly doing

We can’t have it all ways though. If he’s doing something without his parents managing it all then that’s a good thing isn’t it? Even if he’s doing a bad job of it.

BeardySchnauzer · 19/06/2026 08:47

Oh they’ve removed the paywall

yes - DM keeping the story alive 🤣

NeelyOHara · 19/06/2026 10:13

Made sure they got the in fact that V and D have suddenly declared themselves ‘billionaires’. They must’ve been raging that the Peltzs are described as being such, so came out with that. They are beyond pathetic.

I recall when James Stunt declared himself a billionaire, now bankrupt.

I used to work for someone who featured on the Times rich list, and they had his wealth about 5x the actual wealth. They saw the capital (property developments) but didn't see the books with the loans (400 million) on.

As someone who has had family be in the local newspapers because of an accident and the stuff that got written about them was the work of pure fiction.

I would take what is written in the paper with a pinch of salt.
Anyone can write a sensational piece on here and without any checking to confirm it’s the truth it gets published in a national newspaper.

I wonder if those in the media don’t make a game of coming up with outlandish or tongue in cheek claims just to see who would publish or who in their circle is leaking stuff to journalists

FairKoala · 19/06/2026 11:08

As for Sunday times Rich list

No idea where they get there information but pretty sure that there are people who are so rich that they can hide their money from public view.

FairKoala · 19/06/2026 11:41

As for Brooklyn Beckham, not too sure if this is ironic or hypocritical.

The only one that I ever see going on about how Brooklyn Beckham is NC with his family is Brooklyn Beckham.

At least he has found something he is good at.

Letsgetreadytorhumble · 19/06/2026 13:33

Really? You never see his parents 'Harping' (baha) on about it? Sad faces etc and making out HE has ruined the family? Come on now Victoria be honest here.

YourShyLion · 19/06/2026 13:36

She's a flying monkey sent by her narcissistic mother and enabling father. I do feel sorry for her and hopes she's able to see what's happening at some point and free herself from that toxic family as her eldest brother has done.

LambriniBobInIsleworthISeesYa · 19/06/2026 15:02

D&V Beckham have always been grifters. It was bad enough when they were just doing it amongst themselves, but to do it to your kids. I feel sorry for all four of them.

Letsgetreadytorhumble · 19/06/2026 20:11

At 14. Poor kid is just a cash cow. It is very sad :(

BeardySchnauzer · 19/06/2026 20:12

Not only is she only allowed to wear the clothes VB designs but she’s only allowed to use her makeup line too

GellerYeller · 19/06/2026 20:24

I would have found it really interesting if any of their kids had gone headlong into a classic alt/goth emo teen phase. Imagine the red carpet with the family all spruced up and one angsty, pasty, embarrassed kid on the end in all the carefully curated photos.
Having said that it might have been another opportunity to expand VB’s eyeliner range!

A make up routine at 14!

I’m cynical enough to know that she is only 4 years away from her first cosmetic surgery procedures.
