In a much-discussed series of recent Instagram Stories, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, the 26-year-old eldest son of Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham, publicly confirmed that he does not want to reconcile with his parents amid a painful family rift.

Laying bare his experience - from feeling controlled by his family’s use of the press to feeling humiliated as his mother ‘hijacked’ the first dance at his wedding - Brooklyn’s post states that he has chosen to speak out now to provide peace, happiness and privacy for him and his wife.
