Brooklyn Beckham is said to have lived an "abnormal life" marked by a lack of formal education and "sad" birthdays, according to a new biography of the world-famous showbiz family. The 26-year-old son of football legend David Beckham and Spice Girl Victoria Beckham recently made headlines with a series of bombshell accusations against his parents, exposing a deep family estrangement that has captivated public attention.
Explosive Allegations and Family Estrangement
The former chef, who married heiress Nicola Peltz in April 2022, claimed his mother "danced inappropriately" at their wedding and alleged his parents had "controlled the narrative" of their family throughout his life. These revelations have sent shockwaves through the entertainment world and prompted Brooklyn to reportedly cut ties with his famous family.
Biographer's Revelations About Childhood
Tom Bower, author of The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power, has provided disturbing insights into Brooklyn's upbringing. He claims the young Beckham was "wheeled out for photo opportunities" rather than receiving a proper education, with similar treatment allegedly extended to his 14-year-old sister Harper.
"In the end, he didn't get an education," Bower stated. "Brooklyn witnessed an extraordinary marriage ever since the allegations of Rebecca Loos. It has been a business marriage more than a normal marriage and a normal home."
Lonely Celebrations and Emotional Turmoil
The biographer described particularly poignant moments from Brooklyn's childhood, including his 18th birthday where he celebrated with his father and received a Mercedes while his mother was shopping in New York. Bower suggests these experiences contributed to Brooklyn's eventual emotional explosion.
"That's where I feel that Brooklyn has finally exploded because now he's living with the Peltzes," Bower explained. "They're a good family, they're hard working and ever since the wedding, he is seeing a different sort of life."
Prince Harry Comparisons and Parental Criticism
Bower drew striking parallels between Brooklyn's situation and that of Prince Harry, who famously relinquished royal duties after marrying Meghan Markle. "He's like Prince Harry, they explode," Bower said. "They haven't been taught how to cope with the pressure."
The author was particularly critical of David and Victoria Beckham's parenting approach, stating: "He's a victim, a young man now of 26 who has been through the mill and in the end, he's done nothing wrong, his parents have because they have used their children to build a brand."
Wedding Controversy and Public Fallout
Brooklyn's initial statement about his wedding went viral when he posted it on Instagram last week. He described feeling "humiliated" when his mother allegedly hijacked his planned first dance with his wife. "My mum danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone," he claimed. "I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life."
While these claims remain unverified, they have prompted renewed scrutiny of Victoria Beckham's conduct at family events and divided Beckham fans into opposing camps of Victoria versus Brooklyn supporters.
Potential Book Deal and Future Revelations
Bower addressed speculation about Brooklyn potentially telling his own story, stating: "He will certainly have been offered a book deal, there is no doubt. He's got an agent. People with money always want more money, but also, he has an extraordinary story to tell."
The biographer suggested such a book could address "the affairs, the breakdown of the marriage" and reveal the Beckham marriage as "a commercial marriage that everyone has bought into."
Impact on David and Victoria's Marriage
The ongoing family feud is reportedly putting strain on David and Victoria's relationship, though sources close to the couple suggest they remain determined to survive the crisis. "This is putting a strain on them, but Victoria has told David she won't let this destroy them," a source recently claimed. "This is the biggest test they've ever had, but they will survive it because they are strong."
As the Beckham family drama continues to unfold, public fascination grows with this intimate look into the challenges faced by children growing up in the relentless spotlight of celebrity culture.
