Beckhams in crisis? Grow up!

Beckhams in crisis? Grow up!

Times26-05-2025

T he most baffling thing about the Beckham family feud — which both sides seem oddly keen to conduct both in public and in excruciating detail — is that it can be boiled down to one simple thing: first-born son marries woman his mother doesn't like.
All the guff billowing from 'close friends' and 'sources close to' about how 'staggered and deeply concerned' Posh and Becks are — and how heartbreaking it is for all concerned — is a tale as old as time: mothers and their sons.

As far as I can gather, and you'll have to forgive me if I'm not word perfect on this, first there was the row between Nicola Peltz and Posh over her wedding dress, which was by Valentino not Victoria Beckham. And, to be fair, you can see both sides: it's easy to understand why Posh was a bit miffed but also why the bride insisted on choosing her own wedding dress.

'Unbelievable decision' or 'not a big deal'? Fans on Sancho

We asked for your views on Chelsea not making Jadon Sancho's loan move permanent and what you made of his time in blue. Here are some of your comments:Chris: What's the point of signing Sancho when you can go abroad and sign a complete unknown for double the money with no Premier League experience? Unbelievable decision!Eduardo: I think it's sad as he has been an important player for us this season. He is extremely talented and would have been a great permanent addition. We should have made it Good decision. Wages too high and, with Neto and Sterling, we are overloaded out wide when we need a A club paying £5m to send the loanee back to the parent club says a lot. Not surprised Chelsea are sending him back. A player that flatters to deceive at best, completely absent and uninspiring at worst. Nowhere near the England set-up. The guy needs a reality It seems that once he became comfortable, he stopped really trying both to create opportunities for his team-mates and to score himself. The right decision has been Sancho would be a squad player at Chelsea. If he couldn't accept the club's wage structure then so be it. It's a bit of a shame, but not a big deal. Not sure it's the best decision for him, but maybe there's a way back at Manchester United? Good luck to He was a last-minute loan signing and it just hasn't worked out for him at Chelsea. Going back to United under a new manager might be good for him as we don't want him!

Clothing sale will be ‘largest Princess Diana auction ever'

An auction featuring more than 200 items will be the 'largest Princess Diana auction ever', according to its director. Julien's Auctions' Princess Diana's Style And A Royal Collection live sale will take place on Thursday, June 26th, and will include clothing worn by the late Diana, Princess of Wales, with the aim of celebrating her style and preserving her legacy. Advertisement Items include a silk floral printed day dress designed by Bellville Sassoon, estimated to fetch between $200,000 and $300,000 (€176,000 - €264,000), and an embroidered evening gown, designed by Catherine Walker, with the same estimated selling price. A Lady Dior lambskin handbag is one of the items up for auction (Aaron Chown/PA) Martin Nolan, co-founder of Julien's Auctions, told the PA news agency: 'This is the largest Princess Diana auction ever. Diana herself did an auction in 1997 to raise money for charity, sadly two months before we tragically lost Diana. 'So now we have over 100 items representing her amazing life and her career, and of course, she's the mum of the future king of England, Prince William, so we have really iconic outfits. 'Diana was a style icon, she knew what to wear, when to wear it, what was appropriate, she knew how to send a message by what she was wearing. Advertisement 'She was very shy, but she knew by the items of clothing, it became sort of her uniform if you will and, of course, with all the amazing power suits you see behind me, the message she sent. 'She knew how to dress when she went on a royal visit to Saudi Arabia, or the United Arab Emirates, and when she was going to a hospital, she knew to wear bright colours that sick children would feel that she was likeable, huggable, approachable, and she brought hope wherever she went.' A ski suit worn by the late Diana, Princess of Wales (Aaron Chown/PA) Up for auction will be a collection of clothes and artefacts from British royal history, including items that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and other members of the royal family, some dating as far back as the 19th century. Nolan said the market for items relating to Diana had increased thanks to Netflix series The Crown. Advertisement He said: 'The Crown certainly has introduced Diana to a whole new younger generation, and they relate to her and they love her, and they love her style, they love her innocence, they love her sense of fun. 'They love her messaging, and they love what she had to live through, the challenges she had to deal with, and she overcame them all, and so it's a success story. 'Sad ending, of course, but like the younger generation loved that, and that's why Diana's prices have been impacted so much, and are increasing more and more.' Two evening dresses worn by Diana, Princess of Wales (Aaron Chown/PA) Elizabeth Emanuel, who designed a number of items of clothing for Diana, including her wedding dress, said: 'When Diana first came to us for all of these dresses, she didn't have a lot of ideas of her own, because fashion wasn't her number one subject Advertisement 'She didn't really take much of an interest in it, and we were very lucky to have been involved with her at the beginning, when she was developing her own style. 'And then over the years, you could see her being more and more confident in what she was wearing and knowing her own style, so we were very lucky to have been there in the formative years.' Julien's Auctions held a sale of Diana's items last year, billed as the most extensive collection of Diana's personal belongings since 1997. The auction house previously sold one of Diana's gowns for $1.14 million (€1.002 million) and a pair of her shoes for $390,000 (€343,000) Advertisement The live auction will take place at The Peninsula Beverly Hills, California, in the US, on Thursday June 26. A portion of the sale of the Diana items will benefit Muscular Dystrophy UK.

"No Chase and Emmerdale today because of women's football, it's a joke," one person wrote, with another adding: "No #TheChase or much at all due to football? Like there's not enough sport on TV already? Switched off." A third said: "What's going on why is the news on at 5? Where is the Chase??"
