Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz only learned about David Beckham’s knighthood through the media, amid ongoing family tensions.
- David Beckham is finally receiving a knighthood, an honour he’s long been eyeing, set to be announced in the King’s birthday honours list.
- Sources reveal Brooklyn is thrilled for his dad, recognising the importance of this honour, despite the lack of family communication.
- The Beckham family rift continues, as Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David’s 50th birthday bash, citing a Met Gala fitting as the reason.
- David’s knighthood represents a significant milestone after a long battle involving tax disputes and his extensive charity work.
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were reportedly surprised to learn about David Beckham’s impending knighthood through media outlets. Despite the lack of a heads-up from the family, Brooklyn is reportedly overjoyed for his father, understanding the honour’s significance.
The Beckhams’ family tensions are no secret, with reports of Brooklyn, aged 26, not speaking to his parents, David and Victoria. The ongoing feud is said to be linked to Brooklyn’s close relationship with Nicola’s wealthy parents, Nelson and Claudia Peltz.
Brooklyn and Nicola’s absence at David’s 50th birthday dinner in London last month was attributed to a fitting for Nicola’s Met Gala outfit. However, it was later revealed that they weren’t invited to the Gala, suggesting the excuse might have been a cover for avoiding the family gathering.
David Beckham has been seeking knighthood for years. His candidacy, first suggested in 2011, faced setbacks due to his alleged involvement in a tax avoidance scheme, from which he was eventually cleared. The knighthood is a recognition of both his sporting achievements and notable charity work.
David Beckham has long been involved in charities, particularly for children’s rights. He has served as a Unicef special ambassador for two decades. His upcoming knighthood means his wife can officially be called Lady Victoria, complementing her OBE received in 2017 for her fashion and charity contributions.
Family ties with royalty are not new for the Beckhams. Known to share a close relationship with Prince William, David and Victoria have attended several royal events. Their presence was noted at the Qatari State Banquet and Highgrove House dinners with King Charles.
As David Beckham prepares to receive his long-awaited knighthood, family dynamics remain complex and unresolved for Brooklyn and Nicola.
