Beckham feud reignited as Brooklyn fails to post about David’s knighthood

THE ongoing Beckham feud has been reignited after Brooklyn failed to post anything about his dad David’s knighthood.

Today Sir David, 50, was awarded his long awaited knighthood by King Charles at Windsor Castle in front of his famous family – but his eldest son was nowhere to be seen.

David’s wife – the newly appointed Lady Victoria – and parents Ted and Sandra Beckham watched on proudly as he received the coveted honour.

Joining them were his three other children, Romeo , 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14.

The ex-England and Manchester United star was knighted by King Charles for his services to sport and charity.

However, during what Becks called the “proudest moment of his life”, his first born was nowhere to be seen.

Brooklyn Beckham locked in fresh feud weeks after family clash revealed

Brooklyn is also yet to acknowledge his dad’s huge achievement on social media.

Both Romeo and Cruz have posted pictures from the historical ceremony today.

Romeo even wrote next to his picture of his family at Windsor Castle: “No one deserves this more than you, love you so much. Congrats Sir dad.”

But their big brother Brooklyn has remained completely silent.

It should be noted that he is living in LA, so with the time difference he may not have had chance to write a message of support yet.

It comes as David’s eldest child is believed to have “quit” the famous family this year following rising tension.

The Beckham family feud is understood to have actually started four years ago, when Brooklyn’s wife Nicola Peltz, 30, refused to wear a wedding dress designed by Victoria.

Tensions then became public when Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge fashion designer Victoria on Mother’s Day. He then failed to show at any of David’s 50th birthday parties.

Meanwhile, Becks put the feud behind him today to receive the biggest honour of career and become Sir David Beckham.

It marks the end of an agonising wait for the charity ambassador, who was first put forward for a knighthood in 2011.

In a lengthy Instagram post he said: “I can’t even begin to describe what a special day it is for me today, a boy born in East London, to receive a Knighthood from His Majesty The King. I am truly humbled and so grateful for this honour.”

Sir David then went onto reveal just how much the honour meant to him.

“All I have ever wanted to do is to make my family proud.” the star gushed.

Becks then added a sweet message to his four kids, and wrote: “To my beautiful children who I am so proud of and I know this is a proud and inspiring day for them as well, they are our greatest joy in life and my inspiration every single day. I love you all so much…”

The design features four UNESCO-protected landscapes of each UK region.

This includes Ben Nevis (Scotland), Lake District (England), Three Cliffs Bay (Wales) and Giant’s Causeway (Ireland).

The new passport will also have new technology built into them with improved anti-forgery designs.

This includes upgraded holographs and translucent features within the pages, making them harder to forge or tamper with.

Each page will also have a unique passport number built in using laser marking.

The UK government claim this makes it the “most secure British passport ever made”.

Minister for Migration and Citizenship, Mike Tapp said: “The introduction of His Majesty’s Arms, iconic landscapes, and enhanced security features marks a new era in the history of the British passport.   

“It also demonstrates our commitment to outstanding public service – celebrating British heritage while ensuring our passports remain among the most secure and trusted in the world for years to come.”

Blue passports with the current Coat of Arms of Queen Elizabeth II are still valid until the expiry date.

The modern-style of British passport was first introduced in 1915, which were also navy.

The then were changed to burgundy in line with the EU, before the current navy passports were rolled back out in 2020.

Parts of the passport have already been updated, including saying they are authorised by “His Majesty’s Passport Office”.

Despite this, millions of Brits still have the previous burgundy passports.

These are still permitted for use until they expire.

But there are new rules in place that were introduced when the UK left the EU.

Since Brexit, any additional months on top of the 10 year validity of passports are no longer accepted.

This has resulted in thousands of families being banned from their flights due to new rules since they were first issued.

Families are urged to check that their expiry date matches their start date.

If it does not, then you should disregard the expiry and instead add on 10 years to the start date to find the correct date it expires.

Here are the other passport rules you need to be aware of.
