I’d didn’t understand what it meant about trademarking the names do you mean no one can ever call them child by their names
How pretentious

No, it means their names cannot be used by firms which want to cash in on their names to sell eg toys, cosmetics, clothes etc.
Safeguarding?

Ok thanks both

No that’s not what it means.

It means no other company can use their name as branding or an internet domain, for their own purposes or benefit.

I think it means if Joe Blogs and Co want to do a line of clothes for young men they can't call it Brooklyn Beckham or name an aftershave Cruz Beckham. I seem to remember when the internet was new someone did it with a lot of big named businesses email addresses so say something like Harrods co.uk couldn't be used by Harrods. Something like that.

"Brooklyn’s wife is 30, hardly too young to be married."

The old biological clock ticking away, she has to find a man to have children with

It's just possible that she loves him and wants to be with him for the rest of their lives.

Why do people feel the need to assign horrible motives to others like this? I know nothing of her, but would never jump to the conclusion that anyone 'has to find a man to have children with'. For one thing she doesn't 'have to' have children, and for another, I'm sure the won't be short of suitors.

Yes, it was an unpleasant comment.

Not every woman wants children, or even if so, is not desperate to find a man to father them.
I'm sure she could have had her pick had she wanted to.

I have little sympathy for BB except that it must be hard to have high achieving parents when perhaps you are not cast in the same mould.
However…when I read that Victoria Beckham holds the registered trademarks on their names , I did wonder about how controlling she might be.
#justguessing of course.

Maybe she just wanted to protect them, anyone could register them I think.

From what I remember when they were born VB Trademarked protecting the children’s names so that nobody else could use them.

Understandable as it was at the height of DB’s football career and the whole Spice Girl Circus.

I don't remember hearing that.

Surely that is not possible? The names did not belong to Victoria to trademark?

Looked it up - it means no-one can use the names as a brand so other businesses cannot use them to market their goods.

I feel very sorry for Brooklyn and his wife. Looks as if Victoria Beckham wants to be the centre of attention in the way she dresses, poses, and acts. And, above all, be in full control of everyone. Who care what she or David or their entire family do? I only hope that Brooklyn has put his trust in the right person and family moving on from his own.

Yes I agree Allira regarding Gordon Ramsay's kids he has used them as a prop sometimes ,same with Jamie Oliver's, but I read one of his daughters is now a nurse. Adam Peaty is a little different he made it on his own and has a high level of success in his field, he's not a nepo baby, although with a lot of support from his parents, I do feel sorry for his mother, a real slap in the face. However, we don't know the ins and outs.

Even the Beckham's mate Gordon Ramsay's children, I've read the grown up son is in the Marines and a daughter is WPC

The Ramsay children have had their fair share of publicity over the years; a couple of them have 'normal' careers but the recent adverse publicity over the Ramsay Peaty wedding is similar to this latest very public estrangement.

Apparently embarrassing mothers-in-law. 🤔 Really?
A common denominator - new daughter-in-law.

if not for their cruel, lying and vicious son, this wouldn't have happened.

I am so pleased I am not famous and had to have my marriage and my family in the spotlight of the cruel, lying and vicious gutter press and social media. These families are on an unreal roundabout. And I despair of the public who believe in it all and encourage it.
This world and what can purport to be the truth is terrifying..

I think there is a lot of sensitivity around the estrangement of parents by their children and of course it has to be acknowledged that many parents will have had this happen to them for no good reason and sometimes under the auspices of a controlling partner. I can't imagine how awful that would be and I think that has fed into the varying perspectives surrounding the Beckham debacle, but no two cases would be the same.

Possibly that's the situation with Brooklyn, but that's speculative. I do think he should be allowed to have his own perspective. Of course doing it publicly is regrettable but what else would he know, that's been the nature of how life has been played out in the Beckham household and if you choose to live your life in the public domain than maybe it would be wise to factor in how that could rebound in the future. The Beckham offspring, who incidentally have had all their names trademarked by their parents, maybe corroborating the view that they have been commoditised, have been brought up the glare of publicity from babyhood, they couldn't possibly give their consent or make a judgement as to whether being gawped at commented over would affect them adversely further down the line. Like any children brought up in a family where there is fabulous wealth, unless the parents encourage them towards an independent life and career and quite a lot do. Bruce Springsteen has a son who's a firefighter and they don't come much more influential or talented than him on a world stage, Even the Beckham's mate Gordon Ramsay's children, I've read the grown up son is in the Marines and a daughter is WPC. Suffice to say it goes with the territory the children of the rich and famous are not going to have to struggle with trying to get on say the housing ladder, student debt, finding an opening in the working world, they're made for life but it's up to the parents to direct them into something worthwhile other than going down the route of influencer/model, which is pretty lucrative if that's all enabled by the parents. It's a foregone conclusion that the name will do the work for them. It could be argued that some parents lay the corrosive groundwork and expect them to just be compliant. Most Nepos accept the privileges, some will argue they've done it on their own, we all know that's pretty much rubbish, and as such Brooklyn is viewed rightly or wrongly as a brat for throwing it back in their faces, but whilst there are two sides, there is one big elephant in the room, and that surrounds the fact that children are entitled to a private life and that is really the crux of the matter. To argue against it would suggest that shouldn't be a given for children, any children. I don't doubt the Beckhams do a lot for charity but it could be argued that it doesn't mitigate the anxiety inflicted around their control on at least one of their children.

I have sympathy for children raised in families so wealthy that they will never need to earn their own money. They rarely succeed in education or go on to have careers. They achieve little, if anything and seem to have pointless lives with no direction. I feel sorry for them.

Well, apparently Brooklyn got good exam results at school but, like many, not just children of wealthy parents, was unsure of which direction to take. Not all have ambitions or talents for certain careers at 18.
The difference is, of course, there is no necessity to earn a living if their parents are wealthy.

Nothing can compensate for the child lost due to estrangement GG. The only favour Brooklyn can do for his mother now is to shut up.

Indeed.

I really couldn’t care less. There are bigger issues.

Brooklyn and his wife have done Victoria a favour her single Not such an innocent girl first released in 2001 is now No.1 in the iTunes Charts…

Yes, I heard that too! She was the only one of the Spice Girls whose single hadn't reached Number 1.

"There is no such thing as bad publicity"?
