David and Victoria Beckham fear Brooklyn is 'trapped' as owner of home leaked
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, have been at the centre of media attention due to alleged tensions with the Beckham clan. Recently, it's come to light that the pair did not attend Victoria's birthday or David's landmark 50th birthday bash, nor were they present for his knighthood.
Brooklyn, the eldest child of David and Victoria, has been distancing himself from his kin for several months now, and his and Nicola's acquisition of a posh €12.2 million pad in Los Angeles is said to have left his mother, the 51 year old fashion icon Victoria, utterly devastated. What exacerbated the rift is Brooklyn's choice to settle down in LA with Nicola, aged 30, solidifying it as their long-term base with the purchase of their opulent residence.
An insider revealed there were flickers of hope that Brooklyn's American chapter wouldn't be "permanent", yet "this house purchase quashes any last hopes."
Delving deeper, another confidant relayed to the Mirror: "This house has nothing to do with family dynamics. Both Nicola and Brooklyn's careers are based in Los Angeles, and Brooklyn spent part of his childhood there while his father played for LA Galaxy."
They went on to share, "During that time, he attended school in LA for several years and built a life and friendships in the city. LA has always felt like home to him," reports the Mirror.
The latest twist, however, suggests that Brooklyn isn't the sole master of the five-bedroom, six-bathroom residence. The Sun unleashed a scoop that it's indeed socialite Nicola who primarily holds the reins of ownership over their home.
Sources have expressed concerns that Brooklyn could end up feeling "trapped". A source told the publication that David and Victoria 'understand that with privilege comes responsibility', noting they were 'two working-class kids done good'.
"When it came to buying this house, of course they weren't just going to hand their son millions of pounds - what sort of message does that send?" the insider claimed.
Yet, another source dismissed these claims as 'nonsense', stating the couple 'will always support Brooklyn if and when he needs it'.
A confidant close to Brooklyn spoke to The Mirror, criticising the 'cruel and baseless narrative'. They disclosed: "It's disappointing-and frankly absurd-that anyone would try to twist Nicola and Brooklyn's marriage, and this meaningful milestone of home ownership, into something toxic.
"Their relationship is grounded in love, respect, and commitment. The suggestion that Brooklyn is 'trapped' isn't just false-it's a deliberately cruel and baseless narrative aimed at undermining a strong, loving marriage."
This follows Brooklyn's silence during the time his father's dreams of a knighthood became a reality. It's been reported that Brooklyn's behaviour has caused friction with his mother Victoria, leaving her 'furious' due to his inaction.
"The whole family is devastated by the current situation. The tension had been there for a while but no-one thought in a million years that it would turn this toxic," sources say.
"Victoria can't fathom why Brooklyn hasn't been in touch to apologise. She's furious with him, but also heartbroken," a source spilled the beans to Heat Magazine recently.
The Mirror have made attempts to get comments from Nicola and Brooklyn's representatives as well as from David and Victoria's spokespersons.

BBC Breakfast likened to ‘the Hunger Games' amid toxicity claims and Naga Munchetty bullying row

Staff are terrified about what is going to come out in case they are caught in the crossfire. A source said: 'Breakfast is no longer just divided, it's been ripped apart.

But the revelations about Naga have thrown a new twist on the scandal. 'Some find her a passionate advocate of people behind the scenes, while others find her as difficult as Fredi. 'This explosive mix has led to a deluge of revelations from both sides, creating a huge headache for the BBC as it scrambles to mop up the mess. It's everyone for themselves like the Hunger Games.'

Her supporters believe she is at the 'end of her tether' with the fractious working environment. They add: 'Naga finds the whole situation frustrating, particularly with Fredi. 'She is passionate about speaking up if she believes something is wrong, has spoken to people who are unhappy and is always trying to help others behind the scenes.' However, another insider has shared opinion that Frediani's tough leadership may be a response to Naga's behaviour, not the cause of the problem. The source said: 'Managing Naga is a full-time job. She makes it incredibly hard to do the job and when Fredi tries to enforce boundaries and run a tight ship, he gets accused of being draconian. 'People are too scared to challenge her, because of who she is.' Among the divide are those who are just trying to uphold the BBC's standards on the show.

Meg ‘is copying celebs AGAIN & they won't be happy – she'll get in trouble if she doesn't do something original'
MEGHAN Markle has been accused of copying celebrities again with her new wine. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has added Rosé wine to her range of As ever products - which is her first alcoholic beverage. 5 Meghan Markle is launching a new brand of rosé wine Credit: Arthur Edwards / The Sun 5 The wine is part of her As Ever brand Credit: As Ever 5 Hugo Vickers has slammed the launch Credit: Alamy Hugo Vickers is a royal expert, known for his books on the The expert kicked out against Meghan's new drink which is part of her brand As Ever, which includes her jam range. However, Hugo issued an urgent warning to the Duchess, advising her to make sure that her rosé is different enough to the slew of celebrity alcohol brands which have been released in recent years. Hugo said: 'And that's where you've got to be jolly careful. Read More on Meghan Markle 'Because if you start just sort of taking other people's products and putting your name on it - I'm not saying that she's absolutely exactly done that - if you do something even by accident, then you're going to get into trouble. 'Because people who are less successful, who are selling them or the same thing and seeing them going out under her name, they won't like that definitely.' He added: 'If you like rosé wine, you'll probably find that you've got a particular one that you like, and I must admit I wouldn't be tempted to go for hers. 'I don't know what hers is, how hers is going to be so different from anybody else's. Most read in Royals 'It's probably going to be more expensive because it has a sort of brand on it.' He also claimed that much of her popularity can be attributed to her famous husband. Hugo said: 'Prince Harry gives it a kind of a soap opera element which would otherwise be lacking, because, as you say, there are numerous other celebrities launching products, and you know you see them here and there, and you may be interested in them. Meghan's kids will be SO angry when they grow up & realise how they were used by her 'You may like the star who's put their name to it, and you might buy it for that reason.' The expert added that He said: 'I don't think it's going to concern him very much. 'I think he's probably much more interested in getting to Ascot and seeing whether one of his horses does well.' She also went viral for her remark that every 'failure' is actually a 'success'. However, Hugo slammed the comment - saying: 'She must have been doing an awful lot of winning recently, because quite a lot of the things that she's done have not been wildly successful.' He added: 'I think you do better actually by winning than failing.' Hugo also had a great tip for readers who are in the market for a new rosé. He said: 'Buy the palest kind of rosés that you can find, and those do tend to be rather more expensive, and don't buy the ones that look like syrup, because they're horrible. 'But there is a huge different range of rosés, so I don't entirely blame her for having a go at that one especially. 'Listen, we're talking on probably The Sun has approached Meghan and Harry's representatives for comment. The 2023 pink booze from Napa Valley, California, will be sold via her As ever website from July 1. It has been announced alongside two new spreads now available including a Limited-Edition Orange Blossom Honey for $28 (£20). And she has also restocked six of the original products including $15 flower sprinkles. But there is no new raspberry spread available after Meg admitted she may never restock the infamous jam spread. 'COPYCAT' BEHAVIOUR It comes after Pamela Anderson fans accused Meghan of "copying" her Cooking With Love show with her own Netflix cookery programme With Love Meghan - released last month. And in February, the mayoress of Porres in Majorca complained the logo for the Duchess' lifestyle brand, As Ever, resembled her town's historic coat of arms. The town's mayor, Francisca Mora Veny, was considering taking legal action against the royal and has asked Meghan to remove the logo. Ms Mora told The Sun: 'We don't want our coat of arms to be perverted because it belongs exclusively to Porreres. 'The only difference with their logo and our coat of arms is that theirs shows two hummingbirds and in ours are either swallows or pigeons — historians cannot agree. "We will ask Meghan to remove the logo from their website.' Even before Meghan became a member of the British Royal Family, she appeared to be looking to others for inspiration. In her speech for International Women's Day at the UN in 2015, she was accused of lifting whole chunks from one delivered by former First Lady of the United States Eleanor Roosevelt.
