The carefully curated world of the Beckhams has been rocked by a very public omission from their flagship Netflix project. Brooklyn Beckham, the 24-year-old eldest son of David and Victoria, was conspicuously absent from his mother's recent documentary, 'Victoria Beckham: My Journey So Far'.
The snub has sent shockwaves through showbiz circles, with insiders suggesting it points to a significant and ongoing rift within the famous family. The documentary, which focuses on Victoria's transition from pop star to fashion mogul, features appearances from David and their younger children—Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—but Brooklyn is nowhere to be seen.
A Pattern of Exclusion Points to Deeper Issues
This isn't the first time Brooklyn has been sidelined from the family's professional ventures. He was also absent from a major Vogue photoshoot featuring the rest of the Beckham clan earlier this year. This pattern of exclusion has led many to speculate that the tension is more than just a simple disagreement.
Sources close to the family suggest the rift may stem from Brooklyn's life choices, including his marriage to Nicola Peltz and his step back from the family's London-based life to reside primarily in the United States.
Netflix Narrative Control or Personal Spat?
The documentary was intended to solidify Victoria's status as a serious businesswoman and designer. Including a narrative about a feud with her son would have deviated from that polished image. The decision to edit him out appears to be a deliberate act of narrative control, prioritising brand image over family unity.
Whether this is a temporary falling out or a sign of a permanent fracture in the Beckham dynasty remains to be seen. For now, the missing son in the family portrait speaks louder than any interview ever could.
