David Beckham didn’t inform Brooklyn about his big knighthood news

Over the weekend, Page Six had yet another story about the fallout between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, Victoria and David Beckham. There’s nothing really new in the piece, but it did come out on the heels of the news of David’s knighthood. A knighthood which happened only after David had a huge falling out with his son, and after the British tabloids spent months running stories about the feud using the Sussex-Windsor fallout as a template.

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham are no longer speaking to his parents, Victoria and David, with sources saying it is because he has grown even closer to his in-laws, billionaire Nelson Peltz, Wendy’s chairman, and Disney disruptor, and his wife, Claudia.

It comes as everything the Beckhams have ever worked for has come to fruition: David, Page Six has confirmed, is to be awarded a knighthood in King Charles’ birthday honors next week, an accolade he has always craved, while his wife, who will become known as Lady Victoria, will have her own Netflix show later this year centering around her successful fashion line.

However, insiders have now revealed the full extent of the family fallout; from Nicola running out of her wedding in tears to allegations the Beckhams tried to get their eldest son to sign away his rights to use his own surname, with a source saying, “It’s all about Brand Beckham.”

Amid reports that Brooklyn, 26, is being “controlled” by his wife, a source familiar with the Peltz family insisted, “Nicola’s only ‘crime’ is marrying Brooklyn – she’s guilty of loving him, nothing else. “Nicola told Victoria and David, ‘the only thing we wanted was your love and support’.”

To this, an insider familiar with the Beckham side of things retorted, “Anyone who knows the Beckhams knows they are loving, committed, amazing parents.”

The thing about the Beckham name is very Sussex-Windsor coded. The royal establishment is STILL beefing with the Sussexes over their surname and whether they’re “using” their “royal titles” to get ahead. Now the same thing is being said about Brooklyn, that he would be nothing without the Beckham name, that he doesn’t have any right to “use” his name. As for David’s knighthood, Page Six also had this story:

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were kept in the dark about his father David Beckham’s long-awaited knighthood finally happening, sources tell Page Six.

The couple only “found out through the media” about David’s much-desired knighthood — which is set to be announced as part of King Charles’ annual birthday honors list this Friday.

“Brooklyn is so happy for his dad as he knows it was something important to him, but there was no communication and no one from the family reached out,” a close source told us.

But sources close to David and Victoria said Brooklyn has not been in contact with his family.

To be fair, David probably only found out about the knighthood just hours before it was reported (and he might have even been the one to leak it). Should David have called his son? Sure. Should Brooklyn call his father to congratulate him? Sure. I actually think David’s knighthood will probably make him feel like he’s handling the Brooklyn situation the right way though, the royal way. And that’s sad.

    If David and “Lady” Victoria feel the price of losing their son is worth the knighthood, it’s on them. I feel sorry for their loss.

  2. Shades of the Sussex drama. David snubs son and doesn’t tell him of knighthood. Brooklyn snubs David and doesn’t talk to him. Just change the name to Harry and you have the same horseshit.

  3. Jais says:

    I’m confused. Insiders were saying the Beckhams didn’t want Brooklyn to continue to use his last name!? Lordy. I hope that is a fictitious detail that’s been made-up for clicks and didn’t really happen.

    The Beckham’s have always seemed to be very family focused and good parents. I really doubt they have cut off Brooklyn or told him to not use his last name. There is more to the story and I suspect this is being leaked and spun by the Florida billionaire in-laws.

    The call is coming from inside the house. All these stories are designed to make Nicola look like the poor, beset-upon girl who’s just trying to do right by her husband. I think that someone has hired a communications analyst who looked at the data and realized that Nicola gets the most positive press when coupled with ‘disapproving mother-in-law’ stories.
    Who benefits from these stories? Not Posh and Becks. So I have a hard time believing that all these stories are originating from them.
    I think Nicola and Brooklyn are trying to establish themselves as a couples brand and they have found that the best way to do this is via a public rift/feud. The original wedding planners told us all about the Peltz’s messiness. Do we really think the apple has fallen that far from the tree?

      Yeah, this makes sense.👍👍👍

      I came to a similar conclusion about this feud bullshit. That it puts Nicola on the map internationally, which is what she always wanted from this marriage. And let’s face it, after the wedding feud drama no one cared about N and B anymore. So she might look like she is fighting alligations when she hires Meghan’s lawyer, but it’s more like she is latching on to another famous name. Being linked to the Sussexes with the dinner story was jackpot to her. Brooklyn comes accross like he has no voice in this whole dynamic, and that he enables her aspirations of Beckham fame with his silence. That’s what he brought to this marriage after all.

    Meh. A couple of young, untalented, dilettante nepo babies who haven’t been able to break in to any of the industries they’ve tried using their connections to push in on. I agree that this fued drama is mostly coming from them, not David and Victoria. Nothing else Nicola and Brooklyn have tried their hands at has succeeded in making them celebrities anyone cares about.

    Nicola Peltz just hired Matthew Hiltzik–the same PR guy who repped Harvey Weinstein AND Johnny Depp. THIS is the crowd Nicola Peltz traffics in–and we’ve always known who she is, the stories have been out there for years. I have zero sympathy for her. And Brooklyn isn’t some hapless fool: the Beckham family name did nothing for him, career-wise, so he may as well just hitch his wagon to the Peltz name and see what happens.

    Why is David such a dim bulb? It seems he was seduced by her, her wealth and her entire family. He just seems to be shambling along with no ambition or true sense of self.

  9. J. Ferber says:

    Sorry, I meant Brooklyn, not David.

    I think Brooklyn is basically f*ck-struck. He managed to woo and marry a beautiful, fabulously wealthy young woman who is trying desperately to fast-track herself into stardom (with little success). He seems to be a bit of a well-meaning doofus whose wife has him firmly by the cojones, and if it means pitting him against his family so be it. I think his parents, Victoria especially, has Nicola’s number. They probably spotted her hunger for fame from the beginning but tolerated her. Since then there’s been an endless run of stories showing Victoria in a not-so-good light — i.e. the wedding dress fiasco, dancing with her son at the wedding before he and Nicola got the official “first dance”, really mind-numbingly trivial stuff but it seems to be working because she and Brooklyn are now in the gutter press almost daily. To me it seems just a lot of over-indulgent self-aggrandizement at the cost of a family relationship and Brooklyn’s too dumb to realize he’s been sacrificed to get them the headlines she desperately craves.
