Brooklyn Beckham finds the strength… with the money of an heiress ...Middle East

It is important to know where you stand on the big issues of the day.

For instance, should Greenland’s sovereignty be respected, or should the territory be ceded to a bullying Oompa-Loompa in lieu of a peace prize? Is Reform UK a government-in-waiting or a Tory party graveyard? Most critically, is Brooklyn Peltz Beckham right to feel cross at the way his mum danced at his wedding?

With the world on the brink of global conflagration, and UK politics a circus, a resurgence of the Beckham family’s domestic drama this week frankly offers a degree of relief – for news consumers, if not the Becks clan.

In case your mind has been on a higher plane, let me remind you of the background.

David Beckham, footballing great, and his wife Victoria, ex-Spice Girl and fashion mogul, have a son called Brooklyn – reportedly so named because that’s where the couple were when they found out Victoria was pregnant. Lucky they weren’t back home – Hertfordshire Beckham is a mouthful.

In recent years, tensions have grown between Brooklyn and his parents. There were claims of ructions before and around Brooklyn’s wedding to Nicola Peltz in 2022. And when the couple failed to attend David’s glittering 50th birthday bash last year, it appeared that matters had sunk to a new low. It was reported earlier this month that contact between the warring factions was only via lawyers.

This week, amidst faint rumours that a ceasefire might be on the cards, Brooklyn dropped a bomb in the form of a lengthy Instagram statement (naturally), in which he made clear that he had absolutely no wish to reconcile with his family. Not only that, he also accused his parents of attempting to destroy his relationship with Peltz, of using the media to attack him, of putting promotion and endorsements above everything – all for the sake of Brand Beckham.

And in a strangely niche twist, he also claimed he had been humiliated by his mother, who at his wedding “danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone”. I am not sure there is an appropriate way for a mother to dance “on” a son – so in this respect I’m with Brooklyn.

squareEMILY WATKINS

David Beckham has always been a national embarrassment

More broadly, I also have no doubt that growing up with a famously public, globe-trotting family must have been a strange experience and that this feud is hugely painful for all involved. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Nevertheless, for all that Brooklyn may wish his life was different, he has also been a great deal more fortunate than most. As a child he played football at the Arsenal academy; as a teenager he modelled professionally, before deciding to have a go behind the camera, shooting a campaign for Burberry Brit and publishing a poorly received book of his pictures.

When it became clear that following in the footsteps of a parent might not be for him, he turned to cooking, launching an online video series titled “Cookin’ with Brooklyn” (had the Hertfordshire naming thing worked out, it might have been “In the Kitchin with Hitchin”). Critics were unforgiving, noting that each, brief episode cost a reported $100,000 to make.

In summary, Brooklyn has been able to do pretty much whatever he has fancied doing, thanks to his parents’ support and financial backing – itself a result of their hard work, as well as PR savviness. He has mixed with the great and the good (Elton John is a godfather); he has had opportunities that normal people could only dream of. Sure, his parents might be very annoying (whose aren’t, occasionally) – but nepo-babies throwing their folks under a bus isn’t a great look.

Having married an heiress, perhaps Brooklyn feels he now has the kind of financial independence from his parents to enable a lasting breach. And there is nothing wrong with that in theory – but please spare us the public tantrum.

There are shades of Prince Harry here. Another man born into privilege, albeit of a rather different sort, who turned away from his family and aired the dynastic dirty washing in public.

The trouble is, initial sympathy over apparent familial dysfunction can pale quickly. Privilege and petulance are uneasy – if not uncommon – bedfellows. Compassion tends most often to fade the more that a person complains: that is particularly true when the individual has incredible, unearned wealth. The legitimacy of the original complaint is by the by.

What’s more, irrespective of Brooklyn’s current views, eventually he may feel a desire to reconcile with the rest of the fam. Just ask Harry, who by many accounts is now in bridge-building mode with the Windsors. Yet in Brooklyn’s case, that will be much harder to do when you’ve plastered details of your mum’s dirty dancing all over the internet – which is certainly a novel way to spice up your life.
