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. As he put it, ‘I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled. I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.’
