The notorious family drama surrounding the Beckhams has flared up once more after Brooklyn Beckham neglected to make any mention of his father David Beckham's recent knighthood. The honor was bestowed upon David, 50, by King Charles at a ceremonial event held at Windsor Castle, where his proud family, including his wife Victoria Beckham—who now holds the title of Lady Victoria—and his parents Ted and Sandra, were in attendance. Unlike his three younger siblings—Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14—who all shared affectionate congratulations and images from the grand occasion on social media, Brooklyn was notably absent, leading to speculation about the state of family relations.
David Beckham, a celebrated figure for his contributions to both sports and charitable endeavors, described the day as the "proudest moment of his life." Ironically, his eldest son was missing during this significant family event, and Brooklyn has yet to publicly acknowledge his father's momentous achievement online. While it remains uncertain whether he has privately reached out to David, his silence has not gone unnoticed.
In contrast, Romeo expressed profound admiration for their father on social media, posting a heartfelt message alongside a family photo from Windsor Castle. He wrote, "No one deserves this more than you, love you so much. Congrats Sir Dad." It’s important to consider that Brooklyn resides in Los Angeles, which could potentially explain a delay in his ability to share a supportive message due to the time zone difference.
This renewed tension within the Beckham family has a complex backstory, with reports suggesting that Brooklyn may have distanced himself from the family earlier this year amid rising conflicts. The roots of this feud reportedly trace back four years, stemming from a disagreement when Brooklyn's wife, Nicola Peltz, declined to wear a wedding dress designed by Victoria—a decision that set off alarming ripples in family harmony.
The dispute became more public after Brooklyn failed to recognize his mother on Mother’s Day, along with his absence from multiple celebrations of David's 50th birthday, raising eyebrows and further fueling speculation about the family's dynamics.
Meanwhile, David Beckham, now officially Sir David Beckham, has momentarily put the family turmoil aside to embrace this remarkable recognition of his life’s work. This honor concludes a lengthy wait since he was first nominated for a knighthood back in 2011. In a heartfelt Instagram post, he reflected on the significance of the day, proclaiming, "I can’t even begin to describe what a special day it is for me today, a boy born in East London, to receive a Knighthood from His Majesty The King. I am truly humbled and so grateful for this honour."
He also articulated how much this accolade means to him personally, stating, "All I have ever wanted to do is to make my family proud." David took a moment to share sweet sentiments directed at his four children, expressing, "To my beautiful children who I am so proud of... they are our greatest joy in life and my inspiration every single day. I love you all so much..."
In a lighthearted manner, he even teased about how the family might address him from now on, saying, "I’m not insisting—if they would like to call me Sir Dad or Sir Son, they can. But no, it’s going to take some getting used to people saying it. It’s just a huge honour".
Given the family’s history of public spats, do you believe this knighthood can heal the rift, or is it merely a chapter in an ongoing saga? Share your thoughts in the comments!
