I’ve just seen that Victoria Beckham was furious when Nicola Peltz Beckham was introduced at the Venice Film Festival as Nicola Beckham, but surely that’s unreasonable? She’s entitled to use her married name, isn’t she?

Considering Sophie Cockerham writes for a target reading age of 11 to 14 years old (if it's the Heat World article that's being referred to) seriously doubt that Lady Beckham even batted an eyelid, nary even a smile raised either 😄😄

Yes, legally she is. But, bearing in mind all the friction, why would she want to - other than thinking she'd have some sort of kudos from it?

It will of completely come via the Beckham clan.

It’s to make Nicola look bad for using the surname. Notice it’s always attacks on her not Brooklyn.

But it gets the Beckham fan club mad and they all mention about him not wanting to be a Beckham anymore so don’t use the name blah blah blah. It’s his name, it’s also her name. All clicks are good clicks.

D & V need to get over themselves. I feel for harper she will never be able to have normal friends or a normal relationship. The other two boys have only started to be promoted more since Brooklyn said fuck off.

Watch the Wannabe video and you will agree with me.

Her praying mantis poses were the only things I remember about her in Wannabe. I don’t think she had any lines.
