The shocking reason Brooklyn and Nicola’s ‘Beckxit’ is so like Harry and Meghan’s royal rift… and I know who’s really to blame

Once again, a peace offering – this time from David Beckham – goes unacknowledged as Brooklyn Peltz Beckham continues to keep his distance.

On Father’s Day, the ex-footballer expressed on Instagram, ‘My most cherished and beloved role in life is being a father… I am incredibly proud of each one of you, and just as daddy reminds you daily, I will always be there for you, come what may.’

A heartfelt homage was paid, yet it went ignored during a bitter family dispute, as neither the footballer’s fiftieth birthday nor his subsequent knighting received even a simple thumbs-up emoji acknowledgment from his oldest offspring.

Indeed, it appears that the 26-year-old former photographer, spicy condiment vendor, and self-proclaimed sandwich chef has temporarily given up his culinary duties.

Since his extravagant $3 million wedding to billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz, there seems to be a growing tension that has only intensified. It’s evident where his allegiances reside, as the criticisms towards others persistently continue.

There have been noticeable signs online – such as Peltz writing a Father’s Day tribute when his husband didn’t, changing Brooklyn’s ‘Mamma’s boy’ tattoo to one featuring his wife’s wedding bouquet, and last week, revealing a love letter written by Peltz inked on the back of his neck.

As a combination of smitten adolescent and deceitful youngster, this character presents an audacious snub to the close-knit family who have amassed a $450 million fortune, bestowing upon Brooklyn a life adorned with gold and offering numerous opportunities.

Though the facts seem to point toward Brooklyn needing to mature and apologize, it’s doubtful that he’ll feel compelled to accept accountability as long as so many individuals continue to offer him justifications.

It appears that even though the rift has disrupted the carefully managed Beckham brand, the public is still playing out the familiar scenario where women are often blamed quickly when issues arise with their partners.

Yes, based on what his supporters and close associates say, it appears that Brooklyn is essentially held captive, under the control of a woman who is believed to be his wealthy wife, who is accustomed to having her own way. Interestingly, there are reports of a growing public conflict between her and Brooklyn’s mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, in what seems to be an intense competition for Brooklyn’s affection.

It appears that the ongoing Beckham dispute may stem from Peltz’s decision not to don a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown – quite audacious, wouldn’t you say?

A well-known stereotype often surfaces throughout history: When husbands stray, wives are quickly labeled cunning masterminds. It seems opinions and self-expression can be easily misconstrued as demanding behavior akin to a high-maintenance star.

To illustrate an extreme case, consider Yoko Ono, who became notorious for marrying a member of the iconic band, The Beatles, a seemingly ordinary act that sparked controversy.

At ninety-two years old, she continues to bear the bitter burden stemming from the collapse of what was once the most renowned band ever, a fact unrelated to the ongoing strife and competition between John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

During Jennifer Lopez’s attempts to lift the spirits of a grumpy 52-year-old man, Ben Affleck, during their second round, there were criticisms and mockery that followed. Instead of being seen as an adult in a relationship trying to foster connections within a blended family, she was labeled as a desperate control freak.

Did all that effort truly pay off, do you think? After her concession, brash Ben nonchalantly slinked away to flirt with the much younger Kick Kennedy.

So, in simpler terms, how did the timelessly handsome Brad Pitt, now 61 with a wardrobe that suggests a slightly late midlife crisis and a much younger partner, Ines de Ramon, manage to recover so well following his divorce from Angelina Jolie?

2016 witnessed a heated argument on an airplane that led to accusations of physical and verbal abuse against the actor, primarily aimed at him and their offspring. However, it was Angelina who was generally portrayed as the antagonist due to her actions leading the children to estrange themselves from him.

Is it accurate to consistently portray Meghan Markle as the primary instigator behind her and Prince Harry’s departure from the British Royal Family and move to Montecito, despite acknowledging her various shortcomings?

Not really. 

A more casual rewording could be: From what we’ve known so far, the idea that Prince Harry, who was then fourth in line to the throne, was forcibly torn away from his family and a carefree palace life has never entirely held water. His 2017 interview with The Mail on Sunday, conducted a year before he met Meghan, showed that he had been restless for quite some time, wanting to break free from The Firm. However, he remained due to his deep loyalty towards the late Queen.

Indeed, there are numerous similarities between the Sussexes and the Peltz Beckhams that can’t be ignored, going beyond their shared legal representation. It’s been reported that both Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and Nicola have engaged the services of Jenny Afia, a renowned expert in reputation management, who has previously worked with the Sussexes.

Similar to Brooklyn, Harry has contributed to the distancing from his family, yet it’s important to note that many of his impulsive actions and disregard for his own kin are often justified as him being ‘controlled by others.’ In this scenario, it’s Meghan who bears the brunt of the criticism.

As a devoted observer, it’s clear that these two gentlemen, both dynamic and blessed with privilege yet unconventional in their thinking, seemed ripe for change under the guidance of their wiser, slightly elder American spouses – women who didn’t shy away from questioning established norms.

However, this doesn’t exempt them from all accountability. To put it another way, these are their kin, individuals who have stood by them throughout their lives, yet they chose to distance themselves from them.

Instead of continually placing the blame on others, wouldn’t it be more appropriate now to hold them responsible for their actions?
