David Beckham’s big moment came with a painful absence. When he was officially knighted at Windsor Castle, Victoria Beckham stood proudly beside him with their children Romeo, Cruz, and Harper. But their oldest son, Brooklyn, was not there. Instead, he was in New York promoting his Cloud 23 hot sauce brand.
According to a report, Victoria was especially upset. A source said she has tried many times to fix things with Brooklyn, and his decision not to attend felt like a major setback. The same source said that although David stayed strong in public, the situation hurt him privately.
David spoke about how emotional the day was for him, saying it was something the whole family could be proud of. But behind the smiles, he was reportedly waiting to hear from Brooklyn — even just a message. That message never came, which is what hurt the most. Friends say the issue isn’t fame or publicity; it’s simply a father wanting respect from his son.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz, posted a happy video of him in New York, which stood in sharp contrast to the ceremony’s emotional tone. Online comments encouraged the couple to reconnect with David and Victoria.
While David’s parents attended, and the family shared a quiet dinner with close friend Gordon Ramsay afterwards, the absence was still felt. The Beckhams now face a family challenge at the exact time they were supposed to be celebrating one of David’s biggest achievements.
