Sir David and Lady Beckham's son Brooklyn has accused them of putting 'Brand Beckham' first as they built up their global image and business empire. His bombshell statement threatens to derail both their public reputation and their private life.

'We've tried to give our children the most normal upbringing as possible,' David said in his 2023 Netflix documentary, as Brooklyn was shown checking up on his cooking.

'But you've got a dad that was England captain and a mum that was Posh Spice.'

David went on to say how proud he was, and 'so in awe of my children and the way they've turned out' — making the point that his family had withstood the pressures of fame. However, in hindsight, the clip feels more like a warning about how difficult that is.

A documentary about the Beckhams, made by the family's own production company, reveals their desire to control their public narrative. The Beckhams have successfully built a £500 million global empire, becoming a modern-day royal family in the entertainment sector.

However, Brooklyn's contentious post has introduced doubts about their family dynamics. He expressed that family 'love' is contingent upon public appearances and social media posts, and he described the relationships within his family as inauthentic and performative.

Brooklyn's comments come amidst significant scrutiny surrounding the Beckham family's media presence and public image. As the eldest child of media-savvy parents, Brooklyn is now navigating his own career, even as he struggles with being labeled a 'nepo kid' benefiting from the Beckham name.

This public dispute highlights a complex interplay between family loyalty, personal identity, and the pressures of fame, leaving many to question the future stability of the Beckham brand.
