My colleague (at the time) told me her husband fitted black carpets for them when they lived there & he was shocked she dried her skimpy knickers on the radiator
So Brooklyn’s 21st brought out the self satisfied love in from the Beckham cult we have come to expect.
This post from DB stood out to me though....
“In all the places I won them” wowww- way to make your sons birthday an excuse to show off your past glories. I get he’s saying it meant a lot having Brooklyn by his side on those occasions but he could have worded it better at the very least , if he insists on mentioning that in a public post at all.
Being a Beckham child probably means being expected to worship at the alter of David from day 1.

But of all the great father son moments that was what he singled out. Clearly the PR people didn’t write that post
The over-sharing by the Beckham family on every single family occasion does my head in. Only Harper to go and she is already being marketed relentlessly. I wonder if any of the Beckham children will ever wish one day they had a more normal private childhood. It is possible. See children of Stella McCartney etc.

I did have a little snigger when Stella McCartney ((allegedly) tore the Beckhams a new hole after her daughter’s photo was published at Harper’s Buckingham Palace birthday party and demanded it was taken off social media .
I wonder if that’s why Harper moved girls schools?

I find these public, second person accounts of happy birthdays very puzzling. I mean, really, who gives two hoots about someone else’s kid’s coming of age? They always manage to bring it round to themselves too like well done, you’ve sired a child who’s now 21. Big deal, chief
I mean in general I echo this sentiment, but with the beckhams every.single.minor.acheivement for any family member requires them all to upload an Instagram post, tagging every other member of the family and without fail, expressing how much they love them and how proud they are. That part is very important.I find these public, second person accounts of happy birthdays very puzzling. I mean, really, who gives two hoots about someone else’s kid’s coming of age?

With four children and two parents this has become a weekly occurrence. Victoria’s runway show? Check. Harper’s first day at school? Check. Not to mention all the birthdays, anniversaries, holidays etc
In that context, the 21st birthday of your first son (/ oldest brother) seems like huge news.
I am slightly surprised David revealed that narcissistic side, one that may be more true to his character.... it’s usually just a love in of revolting proportions. As someone said, that didn’t go through the PR team...

Find it interesting on all the articles that have been coming out about Brooklyn wanting to marry gf #100 along with all his vom inducing comments to her publicly. Surely with how strict they supposedly are with PR thats not the kind of image the Beckhams want out in the public of BB getting married so young to someone he hasn't known that long and then inevitably moving onto the next?? The family baffles me
I am surprised you say he could have worded it better. He has trouble stringing two words together. This was probably done by his PA. Noway did he manage all this by himself. He is a good footballer, but he is hardly brain of Britain.
Speculation but it’s probably about money. High profile couples can make money from the sole fact of their partnership - no one on earth knows that more than the Beckham’s. If Brooklyn can use his relationship for publicity and find extra brand deals he wouldn’t on his own, they will no doubt support it. Also they indulge him so much, its honestly hard to ever imagine them disciplining him, he’s the first born boy wonder, they probably pat him on the head and say how sweet it is, Brooklyn in love.

Just a point about the Beckhams as one poster made it earlier
There are player rankings at all levels of tennis based on games / wins and Romeo doesn’t rank very highly for his area/age.
He’s probably as good a player as Brooklyn is a photographer.
It’s very well to talk about work ethic but kids need a base and regular practise at his age to improve not flying around the world and pap shots at Wimbledon and playing a few balls with a tennis star.

That situation probably didn't help, but the main reason was because David got her teacher pregnant (*allegedly*). That was around the time there was chatter in the media that a big announcement was going to be made by the Beckhams - then they did their "we're so in love" Vogue feature (I think it was Vogue?). There was chatter that one of them had wanted a divorce because of the situation - and had told their PR that they'd be making a statement - but they were talked out of it (probably for the $ake of Brand Beckham).
I think given her "pedigree" (daughter of a billionaire) they'd be more than happy to overlook those details ...
I concur. He not only sounds like Minnie Mouse but he seems to struggle to string a sentence together.
But Daily Mail said he was the next big thing!
I can't say I'm surprised - they're all part of the PR machine.I wonder what Harper's role will be ... maybe she's being groomed to replace Victoria at her fashion empire.
A few months back The Daily Mail had a photo of the kids by the pool of some gorgeous home in the Hollywood Hills that they'd leased, and I couldn't get over how sad and empty they looked ... all they really have is money. Even the family gathering photos they let The Daily Mail publish are lacking something - the subjects' smiles never quite reach their eyes. Sad.

Cruz seems to have the most privacy of the children. Well of the ones David has with Victorua
I don’t know what I think about them as Parents, their children are very much loved and they are part of an extended family with loving Grandparents, Aunts , Uncles and Cousins yet I wonder whether , because of the vast wealth and publicity , whether the children will ever be true to themselves and do what they want.
Clearly , Brooklyn is work-shy and lives off the trust fund .
Now let’s not exaggerate, I’m a better tennis player than Brooklyn is a photographer and I haven’t picked up a racket in about 15 years.
I thought Romeo might have more crieisblity because a year or two ago he seemed to be going to practice a lot - weekends, evenings etc suggesting a level of dedication. Plus being good at sport is in his family, and it’s not something you can bullshit at - not as easily as taking photos on your iPhone anyway.
But he doesn’t post about training anymore and nor does Victoria who wouldn’t have stopped showing off about it from choice. I bet he hit 16/17 got more into going out, hooking up with girls and rinsing all the benefits of his name like his brother before him. He definitely has the face of a duck boy nowadays. Looking at him I see ‘the popular boy’ you find in any school. Has the [im]maturity of any 17 year old boy and the confidence and status get away with most things. cruel to the weak. surname makes it all ten times worse.

But Brooklyn's a professional photographer. Check out his book on Amazon.

They tried to launch Cruz using Justin Bieber’s manager. That hasn’t worked out so well for Justin.
Why would you let these kids near people like that.

I’ve heard quite good things about Romeo. He’s now doing a levels at a boarding school and doesn’t really ‘rinse’ the name as everyone around him is as rich or richer than his family. He’s only had one girlfriend who he’s been with for a year now, who he adores.
Brooklyn on the other hand..... couldn’t even be bothered to fly home for his mother’s fashion show and don’t get me started on his girlfriend

I liked Victoria in the Spice Girls. Never was a fan of David. And his brown nosing for a knighthood makes my toes curl. I think his rant about not getting one is his true colours.
I think he probably has cheated but brand beckham must be protected.
And I agree the constant photos of each other, tagging themselves in photos and pictures of them kissing Harper on the lips... just stop. You love your kids. So do most parents.
