Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham were notable absences at Windsor Castle on Tuesday, 4 November as David Beckham was knighted by King Charles. The football star, 50, was honoured for his services to sport and charity, with him describing how important the day was to him.
David’s wife, Lady Victoria, and his parents, Ted and Sandra Beckham, proudly looked on as he was knighted, while his children, Cruz, Romeo and Harper were also there to support him. However, his eldest son Brooklyn and wife Nicola failed to show at the huge family occasion. The pair also didn’t join in on the many public messages of congratulations shared with David on his achievement on social media either.
Brooklyn, miles away in Los Angeles, chose to stay completely away from his accounts, avoiding the outpouring of love for his dad. Nicola has now taken to Instagram in her first post since David’s knighthood, but again failed to mention the momentous occasion.

Instead, she reached out to her sister, Brittany Peltz. Sharing a snap of a huge bouquet of pastel coloured peonies from her sibling, Nicola penned: “Thank you so so much. They are breathtaking.” However, the heiress failed to say what the flowers were for.
This week it was reported that Nicola is still ‘not ready’ to make peace with her in-laws, despite David attempting to reach out to her and Brooklyn since June. Victoria is also said to be trying to make peace with her son and his wife. However, all attempts at a truce have fallen flat so far.
“Nicola’s not ready to make nice,” the source revealed. The alleged family feud began when Nicola reportedly refused to wear a wedding gown designed by her mother-in-law. The actress-model told Variety in 2022 that she wanted Victoria to design her bridal gown, but months before her big day, Victoria realised ‘her atelier couldn’t do it.’

Nicola decided to walk down the aisle in a Valentino couture dress instead. “She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it. That’s where it started, and then they ran with that,” Nicola said of the feud origin.
This year, Nicola and Brooklyn renewed their vows in front of Nicola’s family and without David and Victoria there. The move was said to have been a dagger in the heart to Brooklyn’s parents who weren’t even told the ceremony was happening.
In a cover interview with Tatler magazine in 2022, Nicola discussed Brooklyn and said he’d had a difficult start in life. She said Brooklyn was now able to speak to her billionaire dad, Nelson Peltz, for career advice and that Brooklyn had been under a ‘lot of pressure to please people with his career.

Earlier this year, Brooklyn declared his unwavering support for his wife as he said he would ‘always choose her’ as the family rift took a bleak turn. It came after he and Nicola were notably absent from several milestone family events – including David’s 50th birthday celebrations.
Posting a video of him and Nicola riding on a motorbike through Los Angeles, he captioned post: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.”
