GAZING adoringly into each other's eyes, the secret 'second wedding' of Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham may be their most savage move yet.
The nuptials, to which none of the Beckhams were invited, have been labelled 'deliberately provocative' and straight out of 'the Prince Harry manual'.

And it could be the snub that severs Brooklyn's ties with his famous family, including parents David and Victoria, once and for all.
It would seem that every part of the couple's vow renewal — from the butterfly theme to the chosen officiator and the dress, which Nicola splashed all over Instagram — was a blow to Posh, Becks and their other kids Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
They will need to rely on cringeworthy 'wedding' snaps posted online for a glimpse of the hype on Brooklyn's big day, including one photo featuring a topless Nicola with her mum Claudia Heffner.
In it, the 'bride' wears only a pair of skimpy knickers and presses her boobs against her former fashion model mother's back.
One follower said it gave her 'the total ick' and looked 'more like a mum & daughter OnlyFans shoot'.
It was captioned with clinking champagne glass emojis and six swans, which symbolise wisdom, love and grace.
Some suspect it could be a veiled dig at the Beckhams.
'No way back'
Conspiracy theorists reckon it might reference Brothers Grimm fairytale The Six Swans, in which a king's daughter is forced to remain silent for six years to free her siblings from a witch's spell.
That story of love, sacrifice, perseverance and the power of inner strength against the odds is, according to some, similar to Nicola and Brooklyn's situation.
Others believe the butterfly theme at the couple's reception could hold meaning as it traditionally symbolises rebirth, transformation and freedom — hinting that the Beckham chapter is firmly closed and there is no way back.

And it certainly seems the road for a return could be blocked, with all of Brooklyn's nearest and dearest noticeably absent from the lavish vows do at the Peltzes' Westchester County mansion.
Nepo baby pals Rocco Ritchie, Jack Ramsay and Anais Gallagher were also missing from the guest list.
Not even Brooklyn's adored godfather Sir Elton John, who tried to act as peacekeeper, was there.
Instead, it was Peltzes galore, including Nicola's six brothers, and surprising invitees including A-list actor Adrien Brody, fashion designer Alexander Wang and Katy Perry's hair colourist Daniel Moon.
Fans noted the awkward array of pals and that the groom wasn't even centre-stage in one picture, writing: 'Brooklyn looks like a guest at his own 'second wedding'.'
In fact, the only 'friend' there seemed to be Jeremy Clerc, who owns an assisted living business and featured in a 2020 Instagram post captioned, 'love you guys'.
So it appears to be a case of out with the old UK pals, and in with the rich red, white and blue.
It's a clear sign of who Brooklyn, 26, now prioritises and considers his new inner circle.
PR guru Mark Borkowski tells The Sun: 'He's swapped the Brit pack tribal connections for Nicola's billionaire bubble.
'It's a move straight from the Prince Harry manual — ditch the old circle, live in your spouse's world and curate a new reality.'
Tensions have escalated between the Peltz-Beckhams and Brooklyn's family since the couple first tied the knot in a lavish £3million affair in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2022.
A source told Entertainment Tonight that Nicola, 30, was 'thrilled to marry Brooklyn' again on August 2 'because their wedding didn't go the way she imagined due to family drama'.

It followed claims that Victoria hijacked the first dance at the original nuptials after Marc Anthony, who was performing at the event, invited her on to the stage — referring to her as 'the most beautiful woman in the room'.
The source added: 'This time, they didn't have to deal with outside opinions on what Nicola wore, first dance issues or general struggles to control things.'⁠
The insider claimed the couple 'focused on their own happiness' instead of trying to 'make everyone happy'.
But Brooklyn's family did not know a thing about the renewal until it featured on a US news site, according to another source.
'This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria,' they said. 'It feels cruel and spiteful.
'This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that.'

The Beckhams now 'see no way back' and question whether the couple will 'revert to Peltz' and ditch their surname altogether, the source revealed.
Brooklyn is incredibly close with his wife's brood and even had the renewal officiated by her billionaire father Nelson, 83 — said to be 'heartbreaking' for David, who feels replaced.

Nicola's captions on two of a stream of pictures focusing on the occasion included, 'this day meant so much to us' and, 'only love', which deepened the wound even further.
'Imagine being the parents of Brooklyn and seeing this, so heartbreaking,' one follower posted after seeing the snaps.
Behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings says the service and subsequent pic-sharing looked like a 'deliberate provocative gesture'.
She told The Times: 'They are ostracising Brooklyn's family in another push away. They seem to be saying, 'There is no way back'.'
In fact, neither Nicola nor Brooklyn has extended an olive branch this year in spite of peacemaking attempts by David.
They did not wish either of his parents a happy birthday on social media, but gushed, 'we love you' on Nelson's big day in June.
And they did not even congratulate David on his much yearned-for knighthood. In fact, the last photo featuring the couple with the Beckhams was shared on Boxing Day.
In the eight months since, Nicola has posted a total of 415 pictures and videos — not one including Victoria, David or any of Brooklyn's siblings.
There was no, 'You were missed' in picture captions from the vow renewal, unlike David wrote when his son skipped multiple celebrations for his 50th birthday, including one nearby in Miami.
And the perceived digs do not end there. Speculation surrounding the family rift was further fuelled by Nicola's butterfly-adorned reception dress — which some think was a snub to Victoria, who has her own fashion brand.

Indeed, it was the latest in a string of 'wedding' outfits Nicola has worn which did not come from her mother-in-law's label.
This time she upcycled the gown her mum wore as a bride in 1985.
Spectators have called it Nicola's 'revenge dress' after she claimed Victoria had offered to design her original gown — then allegedly 'blanked her for days' before saying her firm couldn't do the job.
Despite the hurt, none of the outfits that Nicola wore over her weekend-long wedding celebrations in 2022 were by Victoria's label.
Instead, the model, who 'was painted as a brat' over the alleged fiasco, opted for a Valentino Haute Couture wedding gown, a trio of Versace numbers and a Dior bridal suit.
And this time, Nicola was clearly doubling down by wearing two non-VB outfits.
Imagine being the parents of Brooklyn and seeing this, so heartbreaking
Brooklyn's appearance may also sting for his family — as of his 100 tattoos, 70 are dedicated to Nicola and her family, including her late grandma Gina.
He also camouflaged a 'mama's boy' tattoo on his heart with flowers.
It's yet another sign of Brooklyn's life being overtaken by the Peltzes, which likely leaves the Beckhams feeling sidelined.
Mark Borkowski says the vow renewal ceremony was more like 'a soft launch for the Peltz brand' than a touching family reunion and that the Beckham name was 'parked at the . . . diamond-encrusted gates' of the billionaire Peltzes mansion.
It seems Brooklyn's family were not even referenced and played no part in the event. Ditching 'the Beckham dynasty', which Mark considers a 'golden ticket', is risky.
But Brooklyn seems unfazed as he is drawn deeper into his wife's family.
In a video posted by the wannabe chef in May, he called wife Nicola 'my whole world', adding, 'I always choose you'.
There's no doubt where Brooklyn's loyalties lie now.
And after his controversial vow renewal, the door back to the Beckhams appears very much nailed shut.
