David Beckham was finally knighted by King Charles on November 4, 2025, marking a historic moment in the football legend’s life.
The ceremony at Windsor Castle was attended by his wife Victoria Beckham, their children Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, and close family members. Social media lit up with celebratory posts from Romeo and Cruz, praising their father and expressing pride: “No one deserves this more than Dad.”
However, the family gathering was overshadowed by the notable absence of eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz. The couple neither attended the ceremony nor sent congratulatory messages to David, marking the third time in 2025 that they appeared to ignore major family milestones.
Earlier this year, Brooklyn and Nicola did not publicly acknowledge David’s knighthood announcement nor his 50th birthday celebration in May.
Prior to the event, David and Victoria Beckham reportedly made efforts to reconcile with Brooklyn, engaging with his Instagram posts and signaling a desire for family unity on this historic day. Yet, Brooklyn and Nicola remained distant, skipping events such as Victoria Beckham’s documentary premiere and a Paris Fashion Week show.
According to Us Weekly, the couple is currently prioritizing their quiet life together over family engagements.
Insiders also reveal that Nicola Peltz has never fully integrated with the Beckham family, particularly struggling to bond with Victoria. Meanwhile, Brooklyn has increasingly shifted his focus to his wife’s family, residing full-time in a £11 million Peltz family home and reportedly minimizing contact with his birth parents. Social media interactions reflect these tensions, with Romeo and Cruz even blocking their elder brother and sister-in-law.
This growing rift between Brooklyn and David Beckham has captured public attention, highlighting challenges in maintaining family unity amid high-profile lives and global fame. Despite the estrangement, David and Victoria continue to maintain a united front, cherishing moments with their younger children and celebrating family achievements.
