Beckham family feud ramps up as Cruz blasts Brooklyn as a 'fraud' and calls Nicola Peltz's parents a foul-mouthed slur
Cruz Beckham has taken aim at older brother Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz in a series of foul-mouthed social media messages, can reveal. The youngest Beckham brother, 20, escalated the ongoing Beckham-Peltz feud this week after sharing a string of cryptic jabs on Instagram notes, referring to 'a fraud' and a family of 'c**ts'. Insiders exclusively told the not-so-subtle digs were directed at his big brother and his sister-in-law - further fueling the bitter family rift that has pitted Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 31, against the rest of the Beckham clan. Along with labeling Nicola's billionaire relatives 'a whole family o' c***s', an outraged Cruz took jabs at his brother, saying: 'ur a d**k now', according to the posts obtained by He also raged: 'Instant karma gonna get you' and 'Ur dead to me now', in additional posts. In another message, he seemed to accuse his brother of having 'Stockholm Syndrome', echoing mom Victoria's reported claims that her daughter-in-law has too much control over her eldest son. The youngest Beckham brother, 20, shared a series of cryptic Instagram notes saying 'you're a fraud' and 'Ur a d**k now', that were directed at Brooklyn, according to insiders 'Brooklyn and Nicola have been on the receiving end of a relentless barrage of criticism and Cruz's posts have just made things worse,' a source close to the family told 'The tension in the family has been building up since the wedding and now it's out of hand. 'When people react in the way Cruz has with these vitriolic messages, it just makes things much worse.' Cruz has a history of making thinly veiled social media slights about Brooklyn. Recently, he responded to a comment left on a TikTok video showing Brooklyn performing his latest single that asked if he 'was going to become a racing car driver next or something?' In a snarky reference to Brooklyn's attempts at various careers - including stints as a chef, a photographer, and a publicly stated desire to become an F1 driver - Cruz quipped: 'Wrong brother mate'. The source of the strained family ties appears to be long-standing tensions between Brooklyn's mother and his wife - who had seemed to have a friendly relationship up until the couple's April 2022 wedding. But rumors began to swirl after Nicola picked a custom Valentino gown for her and Brooklyn's $3.5million lavish ceremony at the Palm Beach home of her parents. The controversial choice allegedly infuriated fashion designer mother-in-law Victoria, 51, who expected to be the one to design the wedding dress. Nicola later explained the decision was made because Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time. Additional reports claimed Nicola was also enraged when the former Spice Girl 'hijacked' the newlyweds' first dance at the wedding reception to take the floor with her son. Following the wedding, things became even frostier between Nicola and Victoria who – despite denying reports about troubled waters between them – were notably absent from each other's social media accounts. The source of the strained family ties appears to be long-standing tensions between Brooklyn's mother and his wife 'As much as the Beckhams claim to love Brooklyn, they are acting like they want to damage Nicola,' the source added. 'Nicola tried to ingratiate herself with Victoria but seems like there is no satisfying that family.' Adding fuel to the fire has been Nicola's decision to avoid most Beckham family gatherings – leaving Brooklyn to attend alone. Until December, the feud was relatively low key but that all changed when Romeo, 22, reportedly began dating London-based DJ Kim Turnbull - Brooklyn's reported ex-girlfriend. But Turnbull, who has since distanced herself from Romeo, last month angrily denied ever having a romance with his older brother. Speculation reached a fever pitch earlier this year when fans began to notice Brooklyn and Nicola's silence and absence from major family events. Soaking up the sunshine on their £16 million vessel, David and Victoria were seen making the most of the picturesque French weather off the coast of St Tropez The eldest Beckham sibling was unusually quiet on social media for his mom's 51st birthday in April, after missing out on her Paris Fashion Week debut in March. The feud then spilled into the open the following month when Brooklyn and Nicola turned down an invitation to dad David's lavish 50th birthday party. Brooklyn chose to avoid coming face-to face with Turnbull. This was after he had already missed his dad's pre-birthday fishing trip with his brothers in Scotland. Still, the couple stayed in London for seven days hoping to have a more intimate birthday celebration with David and Victoria. That was not to be. The pair were again silent when David was handed a knighthood in the King's birthday honor in June. Brooklyn didn't publicly pay tribute to his dad on Father's Day last month, however, he did wish little sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on July 10 while studiously ignoring the rest. Earlier this month, reported that Brooklyn also conspicuously unfollowed Cruz and Romeo although he is still following his parents' accounts and sister Harper's. 'Anyone can relate to what the Beckhams are going through,' says the insider. 'Every family has its grievances and squabbles, and they are no exception. Except that they are The Beckhams and it's played out in public. 'Reacting to the dispute with such negativity in these mean-spirited slurs makes it harder for everyone. 'It's time to calm things down. Nicola and Brooklyn are real people and it's terribly hurtful.' Victoria and David did not respond to request for comment. When contacted, reps for Cruz replied: 'No comment.' Despite the division, the Beckhams were spotted enjoying their annual summer getaway on their $21million yacht last weekend off the coast of St Tropez. While second son Romeo, 22, enjoyed jet ski ride in the sunshine, David and Victoria opted for some downtime on the vessel with daughter Harper, photos show. The couple traded in their $6.7million yacht for the much bigger vessel last year, and had been pictured on it sailing around Miami.

Brooklyn and Nicola both wear white as they soak up the sun in St Tropez amid his family feud
and wife Nicola Peltz both went for white outfits in St Tropez amid the ongoing feud with his parents. The aspiring chef, 26, and heiress, 30, are in the midst of an escalating rift with Brooklyn's parents David and Victoria Beckham. The couple strolled hand-in-hand through the French town in the sunshine. Nicola doubled down as she declared Brooklyn 'her everything' on Wednesday. Nicola posted pictures of the pair embracing during their getaway on board her billionaire father's yacht in St Tropez. Nicola captioned the post: 'My everything @BrooklynBeckhamPeltz' with Brooklyn chef later resharing it with his followers. Meanwhile Victoria continued to put on a brave face on Tuesday as she plugged a new product from her beauty brand amid her ongoing family feud. The former Spice Girl, 51, and husband David, 50, are in the midst of an escalating rift with eldest son Brooklyn and Nicola. Victoria promoted her Colour Wash liquid blush on her Instagram page. Her look: Nicola wore a pair of low-rise elasticated ruffled white shorts and an oversized shirt There was much speculation whether Brooklyn would reach out to Harper on her 14th birthday on Thursday, but despite him doing so, it seems all is not well in the camp. Brooklyn's birthday tribute to Harper marked his first public interaction with his family since he paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on June 26, despite remaining silent and shunning his father's 50th birthday earlier that same month.

Prince Harry Initiating King Charles Reunion To Avoid ‘Guilt,' ‘Royal Family Friend' Claims
Prince Harry seemingly wants to mend fences with King Charles and end the royal family feud before it's too late. Reports previously stated that the Duke of Sussex is making efforts to patch things up with his family. However, a royal family friend recently claimed that Harry initiated his bid to settle the rift to avoid the 'guilt' of never seeing his father again. The king has been receiving cancer treatment and hasn't met his younger son in over a year. Page Six exclusively learned about Prince Harry and King Charles' possible reunion after last week's secret aides' meeting. A royal family friend, Hugo Vickers, claimed that 'the ball is in Harry's court' in his bid to reconcile with his family. Vickers suggested that the Duke of Sussex will be 'riddled with guilt' if he never meets the king. So, the dad of two should apologize to his family and ask 'for forgiveness,' not vice versa. Last week, staff members for the Sussexes and King Charles' top aide secretly met in London in an attempt at reconciliation. It reportedly took place at a private members' club called the Royal Over-Seas League. Vickers claimed that the meeting was likely to discuss 'routine things,' adding that a reconciliation remains imminent. Nevertheless, the family friend believes Harry won't return to royal duties and thinks mending fences would be a positive step. Prince Harry and King Charles last met in early 2024 when he announced his cancer diagnosis amid the royal family feud. The Duke of Sussex has previously made his intentions for a reconciliation abundantly clear. Now, other sources believe that Harry, Meghan Markle, and their kids — Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet — might visit the king in Balmoral. It's the Scottish estate where he spends time every August. The post Prince Harry Initiating King Charles Reunion To Avoid 'Guilt,' 'Royal Family Friend' Claims appeared first on Reality Tea.

Prince Harry and King Charles 'closer than ever' to reconciliation after 'secret' talks
Prince Harry and King Charles may be moving towards a royal reconciliation after senior aides reportedly held private talks in London. The meeting is said to be the first serious step in years towards resolving the long-running family rift. The informal discussion took place at a London club last week, with aides from both sides in attendance. Sources say a channel of communication is now open. According to , the meeting was held at the Royal Over-Seas League in London. The club is known for promoting international friendship and understanding. The meeting was described as casual and without a formal agenda. A source told the publication: "There was no formal agenda, just casual drinks. There were things both sides wanted to talk about." The King, 76, was represented by his communications secretary, Tobyn Andreae. Prince Harry, 40, was represented by his chief communications officer, Meredith Maines, who flew in from Los Angeles. Liam Maguire, who oversees the Sussexes' UK PR, also attended. Reports say Meredith and Liam arrived at the club at 3.50pm on Wednesday, with Tobyn joining them shortly after. The group were seen chatting on the garden terrace before moving inside. It was reported that "everyone just wants to move on and move forward now". It was added that it's "finally the right time for the two sides to talk". The meeting is being seen as a tentative but important first step. The rift between Harry and the Royal Family has played out in public for several years. Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020. Since then, relations with the Royal Family have remained strained. In a BBC interview earlier this year, Harry commented openly about his relationship with his father. He said the King "won't speak to me because of this security stuff". Harry was appealing a decision regarding his entitlement to automatic police protection in the UK. The appeal was later dismissed, leading to further criticism of his handling of the issue. Harry described the situation as a "good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up". He also admitted: "I would love a reconciliation." This is the first time senior staff from both camps have met in person to discuss the relationship. Previous attempts at communication have largely been behind closed doors. While no official comment has been made, insiders suggest both sides are now open to future dialogue. The King has kept a busy public schedule despite ongoing treatment for cancer. Harry remains based in California with Meghan and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. There are no confirmed plans for Harry to return to the UK in the coming months. However, he is expected to travel to Birmingham in July 2027 for the Invictus Games. Royal watchers have speculated that the Games could offer an opportunity for a public reunion. It remains to be seen whether Charles or other members of the Royal Family will attend. For now, the recent meeting signals that reconciliation may no longer be out of reach. A source added: "There's a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years."

Brooklyn Beckham unfollows his brothers just hours after reaching out to sister Harper on her birthday as feud deepens
BROOKLYN Beckham has unfollowed his brothers Cruz and Romeo on social media. The star, 26, made the shock move today just hours after reaching out to sister Harper to mark her 14th birthday. 2 2 It was hoped that Brooklyn was extending an olive branch to his family yesterday with his post. He shared a snap where he could be seen standing with wife Nicola Peltz, with sister Harper in the middle. Alongside it, he wrote: "Happy birthday Harper, we love u x," and tagged his wife Nicola in the shot. It was the first time Brooklyn has referenced his family in months - with him accused of snubbing Victoria and David on social media on significant days, including Mother's Day and David's 50th. The aspiring chef has had no contact with his famous parents David and Victoria for months after a row over money tore a wedge between them. Last month, insiders told The Sun about the real reason behind Brooklyn's rift with his parents, explaining it was sparked by a row over money. Brooklyn and Nicola, who wed in April 2022, have bought a palatial new home in the states which cost them just over £10.5million. Those close to Brooklyn and Nicola claimed that David and Victoria were 'tight' and hadn't helped out with financing the move. But those close to the Beckhams claimed this was 'nonsense,' adding: 'David and Victoria will always support Brooklyn if and when he needs it. 'When he was setting up on his own, they would regularly help him out — as parents do — but they won't spoil him. They still help all their grown-up kids.' Earlier this year The Sun told how David and Victoria were 'anguished' by how far the feud had gone. A social media post by Brooklyn, which those close to the Beckhams said felt 'pointed', saw Brooklyn saying to Nicola: 'I always choose you baby.' Insiders close to the former Spice Girl and ex England captain said they were 'devastated' by the lack of contact and said they believed Nicola was 'controlling' Brooklyn. A source added: 'It shows how much this situation with his family has escalated. 'It's very sad for everyone involved, especially David and Victoria who love him very much. This isn't the Brooklyn his family knows and loves. 'This post was like a dagger to their hearts but they will always be there for Brooklyn.' Those close to Brooklyn however insisted there was nothing sinister about the post, telling The Sun: 'They are unbelievably smitten, and for him, social media is another way of showing his love. 'Brooklyn would be happy to meet his parents behind closed doors and hopes for a reconciliation.' The Sun revealed how Brooklyn and Nicola, 30, had returned to London to film a huge Moncler advert campaign in London in May. He was just minutes away from the Beckhams' home in Holland Park but failed to reach out. Those close to Brooklyn said at the time the shoot had a quick turnaround and that their schedules had not lined up.
