In November, when King Charles knighted David Beckham, the two exchanged a few private words. The content is not known, but it is quite possible that it was about renegade sons and difficult American daughters-in-law. For Charles it was Harry, for the Beckhams it was the first-born Brooklyn, who is now breaking out of the supposedly perfect world. On Monday evening, the 26-year-old publicly settled accounts with David and Victoria – on Instagram, of course. With his posts he could now tear the Beckhams’ entire multimedia lifestyle complex into the abyss.
The Beckhams are said to have put pressure on Brooklyn before the wedding
He had remained silent for years, Brooklyn wrote. The Beckham offspring, who has been married to the US billionaire’s daughter Nicola Peltz for three years, reported on staged family celebrations and social media posts and on inauthentic relationships. None of this should surprise keen Beckham watchers; They have been interpreting every like, every “Love You!” for over a year now. and every heart of the family accounts on Instagram and came to the conclusion in the summer: There is something fishy in the Beckham house. But there was another revelation: Brooklyn was pressured by his parents to give up the rights to the Beckham name before the wedding. Brooklyn wrote of an “agreement” that would come into effect if he gave up the name and a “payday” that depended on it. All of this doesn’t sound like a loving family giving their children a dowry on their wedding day.

It took Brooklyn’s parents almost a quarter of a century to build the successful Beckham brand. Unlike other families like the Kardashians in the USA, talent, a lot of ambition and hard work played a big role at the very beginning: David Beckham was a gifted footballer, Victoria Adams was a member of the “Spice Girls”, the most successful girl band of the 90s. In 1999 they celebrated their wedding in flashy purple outfits on purple thrones. But they soon traveled the world as a family, living in Madrid, Milan, Los Angeles and Paris, where they acquired cosmopolitanism and influential friends like Tom Cruise and Eva Longoria. Victoria tried out numerous careers, finally made her breakthrough with her own fashion label and is now even said to be in the black. The Beckham multimedia brand is crucial for the prestige of their company, but also for David’s current status as a football legend and advertising icon – the supposedly successful marriage of the two and the family that, according to the official narrative, sticks together. In good times and in bad times.
Even during Brooklyn’s childhood, the media was there at every turn
As a baby, Brooklyn served as an accessory for the semi-time couple, and later he accompanied dad Beckham as a mascot on the lawns of legendary football stadiums such as San Siro in Milan or Bernabéu in Madrid. Media and cameras were there at every turn. It must have been an overwhelming childhood of superlatives.
Now Brooklyn writes that he has been anxious and insecure all his life. The fact that, unlike his successful parents, he has not been able to achieve any significant success in any of his five careers to date – footballer, model, photographer, chef, influencer – may have exacerbated his complexes. Luckily, he married into the billionaire Peltz family, who amassed their wealth in the food industry. It is believed that father-in-law Nelson Peltz supports the lifestyle of the young couple, who live in a $16 million mansion in Beverley Hills; In any case, Brooklyn’s income as an influencer and sporadic model is unlikely to be enough to finance it.
