Fed up of the Beckhams

Everywhere you look online you are constantly reminded of the rift with their oldest son Brooklyn. As if it wasn’t enough to keep seeing Victoria Beckham scowling at the cameras and what she’s wearing.

Out of curiosity I have just had a look at Victoria Beckhams clothing range……………£390 for a white cotton poplin panelled midi skirt!!!!!!! Who in their right mind would pay that? I bought some cotton poplin for a man’s shirt recently………it was £4.99 a metre!

Doesn’t make the news here, thank goodness. Sometimes that poncy prince bloke and Meghan do , but not that often. We live in a little bubble of AFL, floods, fires and travelogues.

I know very little about this family and hope it stays that way...I don't even know why you would post a thread like this...?

All families are messed up and celebrity families are no exception. It is the poor messed up kids I feel sorry for.

Sadly none of the Beckham offspring seem to have any real talent at anything. Perhaps they’ve never had to.

In contrast Gordon Ramseys brood all seem to have been to university, work and one son is in the marines. Jamie Oliver’s daughter is training to be a nurse.

I think the Beckham kids have had no structure in their lives. Influencers, footballers, tennis players, singers, cooks, photographers… they’ve tried it all without any success.

They, the Beckhams have orchestrated turning their family into a brand. They've afforded their children absolutely no privacy growing up, so everything including arguments and failings are out there in the public domain, which isn't really kind to their offspring, any mistakes, and most of us make them in those crucial years before adulthood, are there to be picked over. There are a number of high profile people that court the publicity for their own offspring at a time when children should be connecting with their peer group and immersed in school life, not hawked around for stylists and publicists to mould them into a future career as a moneyatized asset to the brand.

A while ago, Harper who is only 13 was in the first stage of being launched as some sort of influencer with various make up videos, I read about this on MN, at the time Liam Payne, the father of Cheryl's son had just died, and the general consensus was that Cheryl was doing a damn good job in protecting their son's right to privacy as opposed to the Beckhams who have exploited their own children every which way.

I know nothing about them but a $1800 cheese for a cheese sauce?? I feel decadent when I buy cathedral city

I know what you're saying! I have nothing personal against V, D and B, they are actually lovely people but on a ''professional'' basis one of them only has to burp and the entire thing is splattered everywhere worldwide for months!

I personally don't care about their childish squabbling and, tantrums, such things should be kept out of the way of the media and in their own house.

I didn't know there was a rift with their oldest son, Brooklyn.
Who knew (as they say un the US)?
Probably everyone except me.

I didn’t know either Labradora 😁.
I doubt I’ll lose any sleep over the news. Rifts are sad, of course, and no doubt this one is upsetting for all concerned, but it is of no interest to me.

Still get most of my news from the newspapers. Online I occasionally click on the BBC or Sky.

Oh did it show it on the BBC?

I did see that in the news and think his explanation is hilarious!

Cossy Mon 26-May-25 19:04:33

I simply ignore any posts from, or about, the Beckhams, I simply just don’t care about them, their friends, their relationships or their children.

Live and let live, what they do doesn’t affect me one iota.

I saw Brooklyn cooking for his girlfriend on YouTube the other night. More for the fact he had cut into $1800 cheese to make a cheese sauce.
I must say he came across as a lovely, unspoiled, well mannered individual.
TBH, I don’t watch anything that much on celebrities, I can’t get passed the Botox, fillers, lips & of course the Charlie Coroni eyebrows 🙄 it’s everywhere!

Never been interested in the Beckhams - but have you seen the video of / headline about, the Macrons ? Interesting !!

Yes what was going on there? definitely looked a bit physical, although over on MN someone remarked, "it looked like a mum trying to wipe Marmite off a child's face" ridiculous, they're French they wouldn't touch that stuff shock

I haven't heard anything about a Beckham rift, haven't seen Victoria on anything for years. Must be clicking on different content than OP I guess.

I saw David on one of the programmes recently where he was at the Chelsea flower show, missed everything else, expect I’ll survive.
