As David and Victoria Beckham’s son publicly turns against the family empire, it seems the Beckham family drama has become for millennial and Gen Z women what the Meghan Markle and Prince Harry saga is for boomer mums.
Brooklyn Beckham took to Instagram Stories to share a series of notes confirming he does not want to 'reconcile' with his parents, claiming he has been 'controlled' for 'most of his life.;
He wrote: “For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into."
“Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths they’ll go to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.”
Just last week, Brooklyn confirmed he had instructed his parents to contact him only through lawyers and not to tag him on Instagram.
The drama has quickly drawn comparisons to Harry and Meghan, who famously stepped back from the royal family and spoke out about control, privacy, and media intrusion.
And much like the Harry and Meghan saga, opinions among invested millennials are polarising.
For some, this confirms that David and Victoria Beckham are toxic and narcissistic, and that the family is little more than a PR machine.
Others have accused Brooklyn of being a spoiled nepo baby, pointing out his wife Nicola Peltz’s father, a major donor to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
Chances are, everyone in this story might just suck but nuance isn’t really what people are after.
More to come.
