Summary
There’s no doubt Britain’s most famous family is the Royals - but in terms of headlines and column space, the Beckhams give the Windsors a run for their money… A family feud between David and Victoria Beckham and their eldest son Brooklyn was made public in January - and the clan has been back in the news due to a controversial World Cup ad and an attempt at a reunion… So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll get you across brand Beckham, how the feud began and where things are at… Squiz Recommends: Reading: Here’s the text of the instagram story posted by Brooklyn Beckham if you want to read it in full Watching: We can’t go past David’s and Victoria’s documentaries on Netflix - for the Islands in the Stream dancing scene alone… Reading: This column by The Guardian’s Marina Hyde on the fallout from the DoorDash ad. It’s a funny but nuanced take on the whole feud and what’s feeding it… SPONSORED - Try Claude at claude.ai.
