Brooklyn Beckham's family feud resurfaces during French Riviera holiday

Brooklyn Beckham David Beckham Victoria Beckham Nicola Peltz family feud

A new book about the Beckham family describes a tense atmosphere at Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s 2022 Palm Beach wedding, noting that David Beckham gave a lengthy speech that omitted any mention of the bride and that a guest likened the mood to a crime scene. The book also reports that a talisman was secretly sewn into the bride’s Valentino dress. In early 2026 Brooklyn publicly broke with his parents, accusing David and Victoria Beckham of trying to control his marriage. The ongoing rift was highlighted in August 2026 when Brooklyn and Nicola were seen on godfather Sir Elton John’s yacht near Nice, while David and Victoria were holidaying on a separate yacht in Saint‑Tropez, only minutes away. Guests observed the two couples walking within a five‑minute distance, underscoring how the feud continues to shape the family’s public appearances.
