Brooklyn vs. Victoria: The Beckham Feud Mirrors the Royal Rift!

Another day and another olive branch from David Beckham is snubbed by his increasingly absent son Brooklyn (pictured here with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham).

BECKHAM BRUTAL: Brooklyn's Heartless Snub to Dad David and the Tragic Tale of a Family Torn Apart by Greed, Ego, and Enablers

It's Father's Day, but for David Beckham, it's just another day without a word from his estranged son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham. The usually effusive 26-year-old has remained eerily silent on social media amidst the family feud that has left fans scratching their heads and wondering what went wrong.

In a poignant Instagram post, David Beckham expressed his pride in being a father to his children, but Brooklyn's absence was deafening. "My most important and favourite job in life is being a dad... I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy (sorry boys) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what," David wrote.

Posting this picture to Instagram on Father's Day the former footballer wrote, 'My most important and favourite job in life is being a dad... I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy (sorry boys) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what.'

But Brooklyn, the one-time photographer turned hot sauce entrepreneur, has apparently grown tired of his dad's love and support. Sources close to the family have revealed that tensions have been simmering since Brooklyn's lavish $3 million wedding to billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz. The union has sparked a family feud that's left David Beckham feeling heartbroken and abandoned by his own son.

But don't just take our word for it – the evidence speaks for itself. Since marrying Nicola, Brooklyn has undergone a transformation from adorable, grateful son to entitled, sulky brat. He's replaced his "Mamma's boy" tattoo with an inking of his wife's wedding bouquet (ouch!) and proudly displayed a love note penned by Nicola on the back of his neck.

The Beckham family's $450 million fortune has afforded Brooklyn a life of luxury and privilege, but it seems he's more interested in chasing after his new bride's wealth and status than reconnecting with his own flesh and blood. It's a heart-wrenching tale of a son who's lost his way and abandoned the people who have always been there for him.

Brooklyn had his 'Mamma's boy' tattoo replaced with an inking of his wife's wedding bouquet (circled) and last week, there was the big reveal of a Peltz-penned love note tattooed on the back of his neck.

But don't expect Brooklyn to take responsibility for his actions anytime soon. According to his fans and "close friends" (whoever they are), poor old Brooklyn is just a pawn in the hands of Nicola Peltz, a manipulative, controlling wife who's driving him away from his family with her demands and expectations.

It's an age-old trope: the moment a partner becomes problematic, everyone rushes to blame the woman. It's happened before – take Yoko Ono, for example, who was unfairly vilified as the one responsible for breaking up the Beatles. Or Jennifer Lopez, who was painted as a desperate control freak trying to salvage her relationship with Ben Affleck.

And what about Brad Pitt? After his explosive row with Angelina Jolie on a plane in 2016, he emerged relatively unscathed while she's been cast as the villain for turning their children against him. Or Meghan Markle, who's forever framed as the orchestrator of her and Harry's decision to leave the Royal Family?

It seems like every time a partner becomes difficult or challenging, everyone forgets that they're an adult with agency, capable of making their own decisions – good or bad. The narrative always turns on its head, placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of the wife or girlfriend.

But let's be real – Brooklyn and his ilk are not innocent victims in this saga. They're complicit partners who have enabled their spouses' behavior and contributed to the estrangement from their families.

It's time for a reality check: we need to stop making excuses for these entitled, spoiled men and hold them accountable for their actions. After all, it's their blood relatives, the people who have had their back for a lifetime, from whom they've pulled away.

Judgement and ridicule came with Jennifer Lopez's efforts to cheer up sulky man-child Ben Affleck during their 2.0 rematch. The singer and actress was painted as a desperate control freak, rather than the grown up in a relationship trying to build bridges with a blended family.

As David Beckham's 50th birthday passed without so much as a mention from his son, and his recent knighthood was met with a resounding silence from Brooklyn, one thing is clear: this family feud has exposed the darker side of the Beckhams – a tale of greed, ego, and enabling that threatens to tear them apart forever.

The question remains: will Brooklyn ever grow up and make amends for his hurtful behavior? Or will he continue down this path of self-destruction, leaving behind the love and support of his family in search of a more gilded life with Nicola Peltz?

Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure – it's high time we stopped making excuses for Brooklyn Beckham and started holding him accountable for his actions.

Harry's 2017 interview with the Mail on Sunday, the year before he met Meghan, revealed he had spent many years 'Kicking his heels' and 'wanted out' of 'The Firm' but stayed out of loyalty to the late Queen.

The parallels between the Sussexes and the Peltz Beckhams are stark and plentiful and it's not just their choice of lawyers – Brooklyn and Nicola have reportedly retained the services of Jenny Afia who specializes in 'reputation management' and previously acted for the Sussexes.
