Beckhams Dodge Run-In with Estranged Son in St Tropez: Elton John's Peace Mission

David and Victoria Beckham (pictured with daughter Harper) narrowly avoided an awkward run-in with estranged son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz in St Tropez last week

BECKHAM FAMILY FEUD: VICTORIA AND DAVID'S £16M YACHT GETAWAY ROCKED BY ESTRANGED SON BROOKLYN

In a dramatic turn of events, the once-peaceful Beckham family has been rocked by a bitter feud between Victoria and David's eldest son, Brooklyn, and his wife Nicola Peltz. The tension was palpable as the couple embarked on their annual summer break in St Tropez, France - but it seemed like even the luxurious £16M yacht couldn't bring them together.

Brooklyn, 26, opted for a more low-key celebration with his billionaire father-in-law, Nelson Peltz, 83, and indulged in a friendly beer or two. Meanwhile, Victoria snubbed her eldest son from her family tribute, instead choosing to honor her father-in-law Ted Beckham on his 77th birthday.

The Beckhams' £16M yacht was the perfect backdrop for the drama that unfolded. David, 50, and Victoria, 51, were joined by their younger children, Romeo, 22, and Harper, 14. But it seemed like even the stunning French weather couldn't lift the cloud of tension hanging over them.

ELTON JOHN STEPS IN AS PEACEKEEPER

Enter Sir Elton John, a longtime friend of the Beckhams who's been watching the drama unfold with concern. The legendary musician took Brooklyn and Nicola out for lunch, reportedly attempting to end the ongoing family feud once and for all. According to insiders, Sir Elton "briefly" spoke about the situation in the hopes of patching things up between Victoria and Brooklyn.

A SOURCE CLOSE TO THE FAMILY SPOKE OUT

"Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland - he's utterly neutral in this row," said a source close to the family. "He just wants everyone to be happy, and thinks Nicola has a great sense of humor."

Despite Elton's best efforts, it seems like the rift between Victoria and Brooklyn remains deep-seated. The couple's Instagram accounts no longer follow their younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz.

Romeo and Harper were first of the family to be spotted in St Tropez on Thursday, just 48-hours after Brooklyn met with godfather Sir Elton

VICTORIA'S NEW NETFLIX DOCUSERIES

Meanwhile, Victoria is gearing up to star in a new Netflix docuseries about her day-to-day life as creative director of the eponymous fashion and beauty brand she launched back in 2008. But insiders claim that Brooklyn and Nicola won't be featured in the series.

"It's simply not a case of Brooklyn and Nicola being cut - they weren't in it to start with," said a source. "This is very much a project focusing on Victoria's transformation from pop star to businesswoman and designer."

LAVISH LIFESTYLE

The Beckhams' summer break was far from dull, with David embracing his daughter Harper as they boarded a speedboat to take them to the shore. Romeo enjoyed a jet ski ride in the sunshine, while Victoria opted for some well-deserved downtime on the yacht before changing into a stunning yellow satin dress and matching hat.
