Cruz Beckham and girlfriend Jackie show off very boujee Glastonbury experience
A look inside Cruz Beckham and girlfriend Jackie Apostel's luxury Glastonbury Festival - that's very different to most fans camping experience
While most Glastonbury goers were camping in stifling hot tents and not showering for three days, Cruz Beckham and girlfriend Jackie Apostel had a very different kind of festival experience.
Far from slumming it, 20-year-old Cruz - the youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham - and his songwriter beau, 30, revealed they stayed in a Shikar Tent at Camp Kerala, the most luxurious on site accommodation area there, that by all accounts sounds more like a five-star hotel than glamping.
With four-poster king-sized beds, Egyptian cotton sheets and duck-down duvets, the tents are equipped with air conditioning and ensuite showers stocked with luxury toiletries. In snaps Jackie shared to Instagram, it looked like breakfast in bed was also an option as Cruz was spotted tucking into a full English delivered on a tray.
Another photo showed Jackie posing in a full-length mirror - perfect for those last-minute festival outfit checks - in the 'vanity area' where she could comfortably get glammed up every day. The website says: "You will find a main pamper, beauty rooms, luxury loos and showers all within a minutes walk from your tents."
And there was no need for Cruz or Jackie to worry that their phone batteries might die during the festival, as their tent for two had "power for a bedside lamp, a plug to charge your phone or devices and also separate plug for hairdryers and straighteners".

Describing themselves as a 'transformative sanctuary where extraordinary becomes your way of life', there are onsite cocktail and champagne bars, two restaurants serving up ' world class' dining and a bakery and coffee area. Need a wellness fix? The spa includes hot tubs, a sauna, invigorating cold plunge pool and a state-of-the-art gym.
Festival makeup and outfits, spa treatments and IV drips offering 'instant hydration, energy boost and recovery support' are also offered as part of the luxury Glastonbury packages.
As if this wasn't enough, in one snap Jackie is seen posing with a cute puppy in what appeared to be a 'puppy therapy' event run by the luxury camp. DJs and live music exclusive to Camp Kerala come as part of the five-star experience, as does staff on hand 24/7 to wait on you hand and foot.
As most people get to Glastonbury on the Wednesday before the music starts on Friday, many camp for five nights. And it's thought a five-night stay at Camp Kerala will set you back a whopping £8,225 per person, including festival tickets.
But that's only a starting price for the most basic 'glamp' options - and can be more than £20,000 per person for the most luxurious package.
Sharing similar snaps on his own Instagram feed, Cruz - who is no stranger to a lavish lifestyle with his famous parents worth a reported £500 million - wrote: "Glastonbury wouldn't have been so good without @campkerala." While girlfriend Jackie declared she'd had 'A VERY WHOLESOME GLASTO'.
One follower wrote underneath the snaps: "Camping goals!" Another commented: 'I feel like a proper bed in a tent, is missing the real experience!" A third posted: "Hardly the Glastonbury experience."
Quoting lyrics from the hit Pulp song 'Common People' a follower pointed out his privilege and said: "She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge." While a fifth fan asked: "You get a freebie?"
And revisiting Glastonbury again is a full circle moment for Cruz and Jackie, who were first spotted there as a couple in June 2024. They confirmed their relationship in October that year when Cruz publicly wished Jackie a happy birthday on his Instagram Stories.
After spending Christmas and New Year together, Cruz shared multiple photos with Jackie in Brazil in January and captioned the post: '"So 2025 is going to be good, right?" And the couple - who have a 10-year age gap - look like they're still going strong.
In June Jackie wrote it had been a 'good year' as she shared a series of snaps of her and Cruz to mark their one year anniversary. Meanwhile Cruz wrote '1 year down, plenty to go'.

Rock goddesses don't grow old, they just get more iconic. Happy 80th Debbie Harry
Safe to say, Debbie Harry, who turns 80 today, is as unconventional as ever. At the Gucci show last autumn, she turned up in eight-inch red leather platform loafers, a pencil skirt and a red leather jacket, her upside-down W of a mouth painted to match (she wears lipstick most days). Don't look to her for tips on how to mouse your way apologetically into your later decades. Other clothes she finds herself drawn to include 'rubber hotpants and fishnet stuff' – and the unpredictability of Lady Gaga's style. She still tours (she played Glastonbury in 2023). Millennials and Gen Zs earnestly dissect every step of her make-up routine on YouTube (it involves copious amounts of black kohl and metallic shadow). Fashion designers frequently cite her as an influence and in 2020, Miley Cyrus released a cover of Heart of Glass and spoke of the debt her generation of female singers owes Harry. Last year Gucci anointed her the face of an advertising campaign, shot by Nan Goldin, for a hobo-styled shoulder bag called – what else? – the Blondie. She told me at the time she was flattered (who wouldn't be?), but seemed most excited about working with the experimental Goldin. As for the Blondie Bag, been there, done that. It reminded her of a saddle bag she'd been wearing decades ago when someone tried to mug her in New York, but failed because the straps were so strong. This anecdote is on the tamer side of the biblical horrors that befell her in her first half century – we're literally talking fires and plagues. Not that she's one to dwell. Back in the mid-1970s, when she formed Blondie with her then-partner Chris Stein (who named it after Harry's tousled mane – she put the bed into head) was ascendant, I would have devoured all those 'How To Harry' tutorials. The only style nugget I ever remember her dispensing back then was never to wear those broderie anglaise petticoats that were all the rage one summer. 'Droopy' was the word I recall her using. Not that there was any YouTube to corroborate this. Succinct is the word I'll use to describe her sartorial advice at that time. That's what the 1970s were like before celebrities learnt how to monetise their every nano-thought. She's become more loquacious on the subject in the past decade or so, probably because she's had to work harder to look after those blessed genes, so there's more to share. Back in the day, that famous blonde mane was inspired by the old school Hollywood sirens – particularly Marilyn Monroe, with whom she was obsessed – and it was often a DIY job. 'I'd colour it myself, so couldn't always reach the back,' she said of the dark patches which gave the otherwise pristine silver-screen image a far more rebellious inflection. Sometimes, on a whim, she'd shave the sides. Grace Kelly this was not. Nowadays she has to treat her locks more circumspectly. She no longer uses ammonia to dye them. 'It burns my hair terribly. But I've had to bleach my hair for, well… a very long time, so it's not done too badly considering. I swear by Viviscal hair vitamins and Wen's cream conditioner that doesn't contain soap.' Good tips. Amazingly, there are more where this came from. She avoids red meat, dairy and gluten, performs what she calls old lady exercises most mornings, walks her two dogs (Russian Chins since you ask) every day and gets a reasonable amount of sleep (although she does it in two shifts, which sounds far more sensible than lying awake fretting that she's not getting an eight hour block). Her style might be the definition of specific, but some of her dilemmas, in spirit if not in detail, are universal. Like many women in their seventh and eighth decades, she is challenged by having so few examples to follow. 'I'm sort of at a crossroads right now,' she said in 2013 when she was a mere 68. 'I don't know if I'm making myself look foolish if I wear some of the clothes I feel comfortable wearing. And so that's my predicament'. Often when she's thinking about rubber and fishnets, she'll find herself wondering whether she shouldn't be wearing a Chanel jacket. I for one would love to see how she'd style it. It's this internal tussle that makes her relatable to millions who are also navigating the ageing process. The fact that she seems to have fun – viz. that red outfit she wore to the Gucci show – while trying to work out some kind of route map is encouraging. She knows that punk and ageing are a delicate negotiation – or as she puts it, 'I don't want to look like an idiot, but I love costume. In fact I love clothes'. Her wardrobe sounds major – everything from Saint Laurent to Comme des Garçons to Marc Jacobs and Manolos – and those are just the items she wears on a daily basis. She mentioned to me last year she's archived all her clothes from the past five decades. 'It's surprisingly organised,' she added. She told Elle magazine she finds getting rid of old clothes impossible. 'Vintage pieces like my Stephen Sprouse collection from the Seventies and early Eighties are too special to part with… I still wear a lot of his pieces. The stuff that fits anyway'. If it irks her that her looks are still at least as pored over as her music, she's too pragmatic not to play the game. Hence the facelift she confessed to having in 2019, 'for business reasons'. She also remarked that Botox and filler are akin to having flu jabs, which in some circles they probably are. In Face It, her candid 2019 memoir, she writes, 'getting older is hard on your looks. Like everybody else, I have good days and bad days and those s--t, I-hope-nobody-sees-me days'. Mind you, that's true whatever your age, although possibly not if you were Debbie Harry in the days when she appeared to view her God-given beauty with spectacular throwaway detachment . She was – is – blessed with spectacular genes. What the rest of us can learn from her is a positive, embracing attitude. Debbie Harry's most memorable style moments By Jessica Burrell

I quit the BBC over Gaza – Glastonbury proves it was the right thing to do
This weekend, if you wanted to watch Kneecap's Glastonbury performance live on the West Holts stage, you wouldn't have found it on the BBC. Instead, you'd have had to find Helen Wilson's TikTok account, where she burnt her fingers holding her phone up in 30-degree heat to livestream the entire set from her spot in the festival audience, knowing that our public broadcaster had decided not to. Thousands were watching. The band was expected to be one of the festival's most anticipated acts, with organisers warning prior that there would be a large crowd for their performance. The BBC announced it wouldn't be broadcasting the set live on TV, but that edited highlights would be offered later, on iPlayer. 'Whilst the BBC doesn't ban artists', it said in a statement, 'our plans ensure that our programming meets our editorial guidelines.' This comes after band member Mo Chara was charged with a terrorist offence, for allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a performance in 2024 – a charge that has now been dropped, and with a court hearing scheduled for August cancelled. On the day, the BBC tried to play it safe, choosing to edit Kneecap's performance for iPlayer. Surely this would shield it? During the set, Mo Chara commented on the sheer number of Palestinian flags at the festival, and led crowds in chants of 'Free Palestine'. Another band member wore a T-shirt reading 'We are all Palestine Action ', in reference to the soon-to-be proscribed direct action group. In the end, the BBC's editorial timidity didn't save it. Instead of livestreaming Kneecap's Palestine chants, it livestreamed rap duo Bob Vylan's, whose call-and-response about the Israeli military ('Death, death to the IDF') has resulted in significant criticism – even from the prime minister – and demands that the broadcaster be defunded or prosecuted. For bad-faith critics, censorship – the most extreme editorial choice – will never be enough. Refusing to air band sets at Glastonbury, or editorially sound documentaries like Gaza: Doctors Under Fire, will never be enough. Sacrificing the BBC's dearest editorial standards and values will never be enough. Because censorship is the call of those who don't want reality to be shown – and the reality is that there's growing public support for Palestine, and growing anger at Israel's actions in Gaza. This shows itself in the folk-hero status given to artists who speak up, in the hundreds of thousands who have protested down London streets across 20 months, in the sea of Palestine flags at Glastonbury. Public anger cannot be censored away, no matter how much anyone tries. If an artist shouts 'Free, free' on a Glastonbury stage, the audience will roar 'Palestine'. Showing the reality of this public sentiment should be a priority for our public broadcaster. I want a BBC free of influence, a BBC that is editorially brave in the face of pressure. It's crucial that our public broadcaster makes its editorial decisions freely, not based on the perceived anger of bad-faith critics, but based on accuracy, evidence, human rights, and core principles that must be upheld – principles such as free speech and public service. The BBC that refused to remove a documentary series on Indian prime minister Narendra Modi's role in the 2002 Gujarat riots, despite pressure from his government, is the BBC we need. It's the BBC we deserve. Not the one where a member of the public has to burn her fingers to air what it won't.
