"Trying to work out who is a worse" — Piers Morgan compares David Beckham's son to Prince Harry while crediting their media attention to "parentage"

Brooklyn Beckham seemingly ignored his father, David Beckham, by sharing a birthday post for his father-in-law, Nelson Peltz, on June 25, 2025. Brooklyn has reportedly been involved in a dispute with his family for some time. According to an exclusive Page Six report published on June 10, 2025, insiders claimed that the 26-year-old did not want to have any contact with his father.

Journalist and media personality Piers Morgan shared his reaction to this alleged snub through X (formerly Twitter) the same day. Piers added a link to a news piece published by Metro, which addressed Brooklyn’s latest post about Nelson. Morgan compared David Beckham’s son to Prince Harry and wrote:

“Trying to work out who is a worse, more entitled, spoiled brat son… this clown or Prince Harry? Neither of whom would ever warrant a single media mention if it wasn’t for their parentage.”

For Nelson Peltz’s birthday, Brooklyn posted an Instagram story that featured a picture of him and his father-in-law with his wife, actress Nicola Peltz. The caption of the story read:

“Happy Birthday Nelson x we love you ❤️”

Brooklyn Beckham reportedly did not post anything for David Beckham’s 50th birthday in May or for Father’s Day. However, the former English footballer expressed his love for his children through Instagram on the latter occasion. He wrote that being a father had been the “most important” and “favourite” job of his life. He also acknowledged how proud he was of all his children and referred to his wife Victoria by adding:

“Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad... Happy Father’s Day... I love you kiddies more than you could imagine..”

David Beckham finished off the post by tagging all his children, including Brooklyn.

David Beckham’s son is reportedly not talking to his family for some time

An exclusive report by Page Six on June 7, 2025, stated that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola were not on good terms with his family members. Insiders for the outlet claimed that it is because David Beckham’s son had reportedly developed a close relationship with Peltz’s parents.

Another source close to Nicola’s family told Page Six that the Bates Motel star tying the knot with Brooklyn reportedly created issues within the Beckham family. The insider mentioned that the only thing Nicola requested was for David and Victoria to support their relationship. However, another insider close to Brooklyn’s family told the outlet that the Beckhams were “committed” parents.

“Anyone who knows the Beckhams knows they are loving, committed, amazing parents,” they said.

Brooklyn Beckham was also not a part of David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations back in May. As per Page Six, he allegedly told his family members that he would feel “very uncomfortable” staying in the presence of Kim Turnbull, the then-girlfriend of his brother Romeo.

As per the outlet’s June 10 article, a source claimed that Brooklyn reportedly told his family that he did not want to maintain any kind of contact with them. Another insider claimed that David Beckham’s son had “no reason” to avoid contact with his brother, Cruz, and sister, Harper, despite having problems with the remaining family members.
