Brooklyn Beckham 'snubs sister Harper' in latest heartbreaking signal to family
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The Beckham clan is gearing up for another round of celebrations, yet it seems one member may be conspicuously absent from the merrymaking. As Harper Beckham, the youngest of David and Victoria's brood, looks forward to her 14th birthday on Thursday, whispers suggest that Brooklyn might once again be a no-show amid escalating family tensions. Rumblings of discord between Brooklyn, his wife Nicola Peltz, and his famous parents began to surface in 2022 around the time of his lavish nuptials with Nicola – and the rift appears to be far from healing. Recently, 26 year old Brooklyn was spotted revelling in the birthday festivities of Nicola's wealthy father, whom she dubbed "most loving father", shortly after skipping his own father's glitzy 50th celebration at Core, a posh Notting Hill eatery. A source close to the family has indicated that the ongoing feud, primarily involving Brooklyn and his parents, has unfortunately drawn in his younger siblings, including the soon-to-be birthday girl Harper. READ MORE - Edinburgh man was 'spending £400 a month on takeaways' before going on Mounjaro READ MORE - BBC's Clare Balding says 'it's killing me' as she shares update with wife Alice "Harper's been particularly affected by what's going on because she's always been really close to Brooklyn," the source disclosed. "They've always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she'd become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers. "But obviously that hasn't happened and it's potentially going to be heartbreaking for Harper if Brooklyn doesn't show up for her on her birthday.", reports the Mirror. Whilst Brooklyn and his model-actress spouse were marking financier Nelson Peltz's 83rd birthday alongside Nicola's relatives in Bedford, New York, Victoria, 51, and David, 50, remained at their UK residence. (Image: Getty Images) (Image: @nicolaannepeltzbeckham/Instagram) (Image: Getty Images for ENTER Works) Nicola, 30, subsequently shared a photograph on social media featuring herself with her father and Brooklyn, penning an affectionate message to Nelson: "I am so lucky to be your daughter, you're the most loving and supportive father I could ever dream of... Thank you for always being there for us – our constant love and support." Should Brooklyn neglect to mark his younger sister's birthday in any meaningful manner, it would represent the latest family occasion that has failed to mend the Beckham family divide. Following his absence from David's pre-birthday festivities in the Cotswolds and Paris, Brooklyn and Nicola were also nowhere to be seen at his celebrity-packed dinner gathering at the Michelin-starred west London eatery. David was accompanied by his dearest entertainment industry friends, including Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria and Guy Ritchie, and enjoyed a guitar performance from son Cruz, 20, whilst Romeo, 22, was given the responsibility of presenting David's birthday cake. Considering Brooklyn also neglected to recognise his father's significant milestone across any of his social media platforms, our source suggested the likelihood of him "showing up for Harper" appears rather doubtful. A source has revealed that teenage birthdays are a significant event for any youngster, and historically the family has celebrated together. "Victoria would like nothing more than for Brooklyn to show up to celebrate with them all, but it's not looking likely at all." The insider added that Brooklyn's absence from his father's 50th birthday suggests he won't make an exception for Harper's birthday, despite his affection for her. "He took a stand and missed his dad's 50th so he's not likely to suddenly do a U-turn and forget everything that's happened, as much as he loves Harper. But if he did, it could a much-needed olive branch to start repairing things. An end to the family drama would be the best birthday present Harper – and her parents – could ask for." Despite the warm vibes on the Beckhams' social media, Brooklyn hasn't shown any public affection towards his parents. His decision to post a tribute to Nelson after overlooking his father's birthday seemed to deepen the rift. Brooklyn also celebrated the five-year milestone since proposing to Nicola last month, calling it his "best decision ever". The source suggested that Brooklyn's allegiance seems to have shifted away from his family, which isn't shocking considering his marital status. "He didn't want it to turn out this way and he's always been really close to all his siblings, but he is a married man now and his priorities have to lie somewhere else," the source explained. "He just doesn't feel his family have treated Nicola well and now that he's grown so close to her family in the States, he doesn't really feel like he fits into the Beckham family right now. If Harper's wish is to have her brother at home for her big day, sadly, she's probably going to be disappointed."

Dalai Lama, global symbol of Tibetan culture and resistance, turns 90
Worshippers thronged the Himalayan town of Dharamshala, where the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism has been living in exile since fleeing Chinese rule in Tibet in 1959. Sitting before a packed audience that included hundreds of red-robed monks and nuns who braved incessant rain to see him, he said: 'When I look back on my life, I see that I have not wasted it at all.' 'I live my life in the service of other sentient beings,' he said. Actor Richard Gere, right, kisses the Dalai Lama's hand during the celebrations (Ashwini Bhatia/AP) Dressed in a traditional robe and a flowing yellow wrap, the Dalai Lama was escorted to the temple courtyard by a group of monks, as Tibetan artists beat drums and played bagpipes while senior lamas struck cymbals in his honour. The head of the democratically elected Tibetan government-in-exile, Penpa Tsering, raised the Tibetan flag as the musicians played the Tibetan anthem. Recognised worldwide in his red robes and with his wide smile, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th dalai lama, describes himself as a 'simple Buddhist monk'. But millions of Tibetan Buddhists worship him as living manifestations of Chenrezig, the Buddhist god of compassion. The birthday party capped a week of celebrations, during which the Nobel Peace Prize winner said he plans to reincarnate after his death, ending years of speculation that he might be the last person to hold the role. He also said that the next dalai lama should be recognised as per past Buddhist traditions. Tibetan school children wait in the rain for the Dalai Lama's arrival (Ashwini Bhatia/AP) In the past, the Dalai Lama has said his successor will be born in the 'free world' — outside China. But many exiled Tibetans fear China will name its own successor to the Dalai Lama to bolster control over Tibet, a territory it poured troops into in 1950 and has ruled since. China, which views the Dalai Lama as a separatist, has repeatedly said that it alone has the authority to approve the next spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. It also says it will reject anyone chosen without Beijing's consent. Dignitaries including Indian prime minister Narendra Modi and US secretary of state Marco Rubio, sent their wishes to the Tibetan leader. Mr Modi said the Dalai Lama has 'been an enduring symbol of love, compassion, patience and moral discipline', while Mr Rubio said the Buddhist spiritual leader 'continues to inspire people by embodying a message of unity, peace and compassion'. The celebration was also attended by hundreds of followers from around the world including Hollywood movie star Richard Gere. A devotee in her traditional dress folds a ceremonial offering brought for the Tibetan spiritual leader (Ashwini Bhatia/AP) 'He is the most extraordinary man to ever walk on this planet,' said Mr Gere, as the crowd broke into rapturous applause. In a birthday message on his website on Saturday, the Dalai Lama said he was 'just a simple Buddhist monk' and that he would 'continue to focus on my commitments of promoting human values, religious harmony'. Celebrations were also held in Kathmandu, Nepal, where hundreds of Tibetan refugees, monks and foreign diplomats marked the day with Buddhist prayers, chanting and dances. The Dalai Lama was thrust onto the Tibetan throne in 1937. Soon after, Chinese troops swept into his homeland in the 1950s and crushed a failed uprising, forcing him to escape with thousands of his followers to India where he established a government in exile
