A noticeable tension is developing within the Beckham family, mirroring the internal conflicts often seen in the British royal family.
Brooklyn Beckham, the firstborn son of renowned figures David and Victoria Beckham, finds himself at the heart of a family dispute that experts suggest is reminiscent of Prince Harry‘s departure from royal life—both situations involve prioritizing their spouses over their family origins.
The noticeable absence of Brooklyn at key family occasions, such as David’s 50th birthday and Romeo’s 21st, has sparked curiosity and heightened fears of a growing rift.
His choice to miss these celebrations coincided with rumors of friction between his wife, Nicola Peltz, and his mother, Victoria. Moreover, Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, who was Brooklyn’s previous partner, was present at the birthday gathering, potentially influencing Brooklyn’s choice not to attend.
In a recent segment on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive Show, Gill and seasoned royal photographer Arthur Edwards discussed how Brooklyn seems to have reassessed his priorities, emphasizing the importance of his marriage over family obligations.

As spectators observe the Beckham saga, another layer of curiosity has surfaced: Brooklyn and Nicola recently enjoyed a meal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the Sussex couple’s residence in Montecito.
This gathering took place shortly after the birthday celebrations that Brooklyn and Nicola opted out of. Reports indicate that both couples have developed a connection based on their mutual experiences with media scrutiny and family estrangement. A source close to the Sussexes described the evening as warm and supportive, noting that Meghan and Nicola bonded over the challenges of being perceived as divisive figures in their respective families.
Since marrying Nicola Peltz in April 2022, Brooklyn has moved to the U.S. and appears increasingly detached from his British background. Critics have noted that despite substantial support from his parents—financial help for his photography endeavors and culinary shows—Brooklyn now seems to be more in sync with the affluent lifestyle of his billionaire in-laws.
Nicola’s father, Nelson Peltz, is a prominent business figure with a net worth in the billions, making the couple’s presence in America both emotionally and financially advantageous.
The family drama is further complicated by ongoing tensions between Victoria Beckham and Meghan Markle. Their relationship reportedly soured in 2020 when Meghan alleged that Victoria had leaked private information to the press.
Arthur Edwards expressed the feelings shared by many regarding this situation.
“It’s puzzling that he didn’t attend his father’s celebration. I believe he should have been there.”
Whether this family dispute will settle down or become a permanent division remains uncertain. However, one thing is evident—like the royals, the Beckhams are discovering that love, commitment, and family legacy can sometimes be at odds.
