The ‘toxic feud’ at the heart of the Beckham family

Public relations consultant Mark Borkowski says: “It’s heartbreaking when your dispute is played out in public – it must be incredibly difficult. This is the dark side of fame: there’s no place to hide. It also goes to show that however wealthy and powerful you are, you can’t escape family problems – just like everyone else.”

All the children have had to endure the pressure of growing up in the limelight, although Borkowski believes that their parents “understood what the kids were dealing with and tried their utmost to protect them”.

Borkowski compares the situation to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s falling out with the Royal family. “Brooklyn clearly loves his wife, just as Harry loves Meghan, but it’s similar to how people feel Meghan is this disruptive influence in his life. There are no compromises there.”

While previously Brooklyn had always posted a public message to his mother on her birthday, he remained silent this April when Victoria turned 51 – nor did he and Nicola attend her celebrations aboard a superyacht in Florida, instead going to the Coachella music festival in California.

Reports suggest the couple have now missed a dozen family events in the past year. But onlookers were still taken aback by Brooklyn’s no-show at his father’s milestone soiree.

“It must be incredibly hurtful to a father who’s given him everything,” says Borkowski.
