Victoria Beckham is said to be both furious and heartbroken by her son Brooklyn’s deafening silence after it was announced that his dad David will finally be honoured with a knighthood
Sir David Beckham has reached many amazing achievements throughout his longstanding career in sport and showbiz – all of which are now likely to be topped by the long-awaited announcement that he is to be knighted.
The 50-year-old star, who is being recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours List for his services to Sport and Charity, has finally secured his long awaited knighthood. Speaking out about the incredible recognition, Sir David said he was “humbled” in a statement shared with the Mirror.
He said: “I’m so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I’m grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment. It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I’m immensely proud and it’s such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.”
Sadly for the new Sir and Lady Beckham, the star’s huge achievement has been tainted as the couple are currently embroiled in a fallout with their eldest son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, 30. And it appears that feud is still ongoing as Brooklyn appears to have snubbed his dad’s huge achievement on his social media pages as well as failing to celebrate him on Father’s Day.
David is set to be honoured at Buckingham Palace later this year, but the special day that he has dreamed of for so many years will be tinged with sadness as Brooklyn and his wife Nicola are not set to attend, according to reports. While David will be supported by his wife Victoria, 51, sons Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 13, Brooklyn is likely to skip his dad’s biggest career milestone yet.
“Sadly there’s no question of Brooklyn being involved. The whole family is disgusted with him. It’s left a very dark cloud over everyone at the worst possible time. Barring some sort of miracle, there’s no way that Brooklyn is going to show up,” a source told Heat Magazine.
And while all the rest of his children honoured and celebrated his incredible achievement on social media, Brooklyn remained silent while his dad’s dreams of a knighthood finally came true. Brooklyn’s behaviour has reportedly rubbed his mum Victoria up the wrong way and she has been left ‘furious’ by his actions – or lack thereof.
“The whole family is devastated by the current situation. The tension had been there for a while but no-one thought in a million years that it would turn this toxic. Victoria can’t fathom why Brooklyn hasn’t been in touch to apologise. She’s furious with him, but also heartbroken,” the insider added.
While Brooklyn may have remained silent, the same can’t be said for Victoria who has sang her praises and celebrated her husband to no end after the incredible news of his knighthood.
Victoria posted a sweet snap of her kissing a smiling David on the cheek as she wrote in the caption: “You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you.
“Your dedication to the things that matter most – your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family – has never wavered. The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. But above all else, I’m so, so proud to call you mine.I love you so much xxxx”.
In a statement to the Mirror, David himself said: “Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour. To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true.
“Off the pitch I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to represent Britain around the world and work with incredible organisations that are supporting communities in need and inspiring the next generation.
“I’m so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I’m grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment. It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I’m immensely proud and it’s such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.”
