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.

It is just the typical 'blaming the spouse' thing.

Just like with Harry and Megan. Now Megan is a bad egg, but Harry very clearly has his own issues following his upbringing. Estrangement is only the top of the iceberg.

Kids at academies until they are 18 have to do education- u16 have to do GCSE’s and the clib het a term report to ensure that football isn’t affecting achool as per premier league rules . After that if you get a scholar you do an apprenticeship and still have to do BTEC- so yeah they still do education.

That’s not ‘doing education’. That’s sending someone to school.

When my dc were at school they knew that we valued what was happening there and supported it. We knew what they were learning about, who their friends and teachers were, what sort of marks they were getting.

I went to private school and there were plenty of parents who went their dc to school with a chauffeur and had the attitude that they paid for their education and that’s where their duties ended. Then there were parents who were saying how it was great that they got eight out of ten on their spellings because they had only ever got seven or would take their dc to the Roman Wall when they were learning about it.

I don’t really understand your point. All of these kids until 16 went to school private or state (not sure what the relevance is to pointing this out).

At this stage, academy kids don’t go to college or continue with a levels. They effectively do an apprenticeship and do the equivalent of three a levels - in fact one of the boys currently at the cat 1 academy my son is at is doing an economics degree at LSE. My son is doing two additional a levels funded by the club. The ckub have agreed to fund his uni if he continues at the club.

So yeah they are educated. They can go on academically. Academics are considered important. And private had nothing to do with it.

I have been to both and private wasn’t better and isn’t relevant to being educated while at an academy.

I thought of this thread watching the football last night, it IS odd that those two young men in their 20s don’t appear to have lives outside their parents orbit.

They seem to control every aspect of their children’s lives. Partners, Friends (or lack of) career, finances, clothes, public appearances….. Even the rights to their own names.

I agree, it's really odd, almost cult like. I find the constant staged photos really creepy and weird that both girlfriends are like clones of Victoria. The sons are in their 20s and dont seem to exist socially outside of the family. Ive never seen photos of them out with a group of friends or on holiday with people their own age. Its very strange. Im happy for Brooklyn that he escaped it

I wish Victoria would stop dressing Harper in her fashion line as well. The poor girl has had to wear those cheap looking long satin dresses since she was about 10 and they look awful. Everything is just about making money for the brand. Even the jacket Harper wore at the football last night was from the range Romeo released prior to the World cup. Im absolutely sick of seeing David Beckham promoting everything but the kitchen sink during the world cup. Sick of seeing his face. Apparently hes made $25 million from endorsements this world cup, its staggering

You can understand them bringing Harper along, she’s a minor. Why aren’t the others down the pub with mates instead of hanging on Daddy’s coattails?

They don’t need friends if they have a girlfriend 🤨

DB did an amazing deal when he signed for LA Galaxy and his own franchise was part of it. He has done very well and I’m not sure he needs the family to help him with that? Lean in to the footballer schtick rather than the family man schtick

i saw a funny photo from last night where he is cheering and VB just sits there looking bored!

@XiCi I saw him in an ad for a watch for 5 seconds he’s really pimped himself out. Agree about Harper’s horrible inappropriate dresses

They don’t need friends if they have a girlfriend
I hope this is trying to be ironic or some sort of misguided attempt at humour because if not thats desperately sad

I thought the emoji made that clear!

Do think it’s their parents attitude though

Brooklyn was/is friends with Rocco Ritchie, Romeo's girlfriend hung about in that circle of friends too and supposedly dated Brooklyn, then Rocco, and now Romeo

No wonder Brooklyn had enough, imagine your ex dating your best friend and then your brother. Most people can forget their exes.

Personally I think the budding dj wants to further her career and dating a Beckham will keep her in the press.

This is so true, especially as they lived in Miami didn’t they? Why weren’t they catching up with old friends?

David is making serious wonga from the WC.

The boys plus girlfriends are on the payroll.

Harper doesn’t have the X factor but that won’t stop her going far, look at the likes of Molly May. I don’t understand such Influencers, I’m not the target audience, but it seems that utter mediocrity sells. Seems like a sweet kid, she’ll be everywhere this time next year.

Interesting to see Teddy Williams, who is a similar age, on stage with Robbie. She looked relaxed and was dressed casually. Ayda and Robbie have largely kept their children out of the public eye, Teddy was first seen I think at Eugenie’s wedding

Teddy is acting professionally, she was in something last year, I think the thing with Kiefer Sutherland

Harper is just an extension of her extremely odd parents.
