Brooklyn Beckham sparks debate with lavish holiday
Brooklyn Beckham, the son of David and Victoria Beckham, has caused a divide by going on a lavish holiday. The 26-year-old is the eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham and is famously married to billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz-Beckham. As one does when marrying into a billionaire dynasty, he has reportedly been spending time in Europe on Project X, an $85 million superyacht that costs $1.2 million per week to charter. There's even been some photos of him sauntering around on deck, looking very tattooed and trying to slip in some promo for his hot sauce brand while he whizzes around on a jetski. It isn't just candid shots that are making the rounds; Brooklyn and his heiress wife have been posting up a storm on social media. The couple enjoying their lavish vacation, though, hasn't gone down well with everyone, actually some people are offended by it. The eldest Beckham offspring couldn't just post his holiday photos in peace, sure some people called him and his wife 'stunning' but others were arguing over if he deserved such a fancy retreat. One claimed the photos came across as 'spoiled', another said Brooklyn's holiday was simply a sign of 'too much money', and lots of people touched on Brooklyn's ever-changing career path. 'They seem bored like they have absolutely nothing to do,' one claimed. 'This is what happens when people don't have jobs,' another claimed. 'Brooklyn do you have a job?' another asked. 'The caption being 'forever summer' …..Like yeah babe, you're both unemployed,' someone else joked. 'I would suggest you both take a year out, do charity work in a remote place, and find your grounding,' another remarked. Brooklyn who has over 16 million followers on social media describes himself as an 'entrepreneur' which is deeply true, the man is not afraid to take a career risk. Over the years, he has gained notoriety for his attempts to forge his own path to varying degrees of success. When he was 18, he released a photography book featuring a blurry photo of an elephant and a caption explaining that the photo wasn't very good because elephants are 'so hard to photograph'. Three years later, he decided to ditch photography and he became a chef. He didn't do anything drastic like go to TAFE or work in a kitchen; instead, he appeared on a morning breakfast show in the UK, called himself a 'foodie,' and then gave a lengthy tutorial on making bacon, egg, and sausage sandwiches. In 2022, Brooklyn decided to give the role of bartender a crack and described himself as a 'nutter in the kitchen' and then made a standard gin and tonic, leaving the internet cackling at his expense. He has kept at the whole cooking thing and went viral in 2023 because he posted a video on his Instagram showing him using a blowtorch to make a grilled cheese sandwich, which fans thought was slightly overkill. In 2024, he went viral when Nicola revealed that she fired Brooklyn for his cameo role in her directorial debut, Lola. 'He had one line, 'Hi,' but he kept saying it in a British accent, and he was staring directly into the camera. I was like, 'oh God, we have to move on, good Lord',' she said. Brooklyn has now pivoted to small business owner and has launched his own hot sauce line called Cloud23.

Victoria Beckham seemingly snubs Brooklyn's wife Nicola again amid family feud
VICTORIA Beckham has seemingly snubbed eldest son Brooklyn's wife Nicola Peltz as the famous family's feud rumbles on. The fashion designer's Instagram behaviour has been put under the spotlight shortly after she appeared to intervene in the high-profile clash to offer an olive branch. 7 Victoria Beckham has seemingly snubbed her eldest son Brooklyn's wife Nicola Peltz Credit: Instagram 7 She has liked Brooklyn's Instagram posts in July in an apparent attempt to end their family feud Credit: Instagram 7 Yet Posh Spice failed to like any uploads featuring Bates Motel actress Nicola Credit: Instagram 7 The pair have been embroiled in the Beckham family feud after failing to attend David's 50th birthday celebrations Credit: Instagram Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, have reportedly been keeping their distance from his family, after they failed to attend dad David's 50th birthday party. Chef and photographer Brooklyn has continued to gush over his actress spouse throughout - despite "cutting off brothers Cruz and Romeo" in the drama - amid fears he's "obsessed" with his marriage. Victoria then confirmed neither Nicola or Brooklyn would feature in her upcoming documentary - in suggestions of another snub. Yet after 'liking' budding photographer and chef's recent Instagram reel, the mum of four, 51, has followed up with approval for more of his snaps. Yet in a cryptic move, while she has hit the heart button on images featuring him, those that also included Lola star Nicola have been left un-liked. Through July, she has liked every one of Brooklyn's posts - but only if they do not feature his actress spouse. Yet this may be because the busy fashion designer had missed a handful of his uploads. Neither Nicola or Brooklyn have returned the favour and approved her uploads. Nicola was previously accused of "controlling" husband Brooklyn - who frequently gushes over his spouse on social media. Meanwhile, Victoria and Nicola reportedly fell out in the run-up to Nicola's marriage to Brooklyn in 2022 in a row over Posh not designing the wedding dress.

SHOW SNUB? Fans recently suspected A Mind Of It's Own singer had dealt another snub to the pair after it was confirmed they would be a no show for her new series. Spice Girl singer Victoria's long-awaited Netflix programme is due for release in October. It is understood she will not touch on the simmering feud with her eldest and his spouse - although she has promised there will be 'tears' in the four-parter. The Sun can also confirm how Nicola and Brooklyn will not be in Victoria's upcoming show - but that is because no scenes were filmed with them. A source added to us: 'The children hardly feature — it's simply not a case of Brooklyn and Nicola being cut, as they weren't in it to start with. "This is very much a project focussing on Victoria's transaction from pop star to businesswoman and designer." The Sun has learned that Victoria comes across 'brilliantly' - continuing from her scene-stealing one-liners in David's own four-parter. OLIVE BRANCH The Sun was first to report how pop legend Elton John said his piece to his godson Brooklyn on the family difficulties during a swanky lunch. The legendary singer, 78, has publicly praised Brooklyn and Nicola on social media while the feud has been making headlines, and he has even hung out with them in Cannes. We revealed Elton 'briefly' touched on the family feud before sticking to more neutral territory. 'Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland,' said a source. 'He's utterly neutral in this row. 'Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn - but two years off his 80th birthday, he's a man who has seen and done it all. 'He just wants everyone to be happy. There is no side-taking as such; he simply adores his godson, and really has a laugh with Nicola who he thinks has a great sense of humour. "He wants to look after them in his role as 'spiritual adviser' as a godfather, it's a role he takes seriously. 'Elton and David think the situation is terribly sad, and has gently suggested to all involved that life is short — and to patch things up." Victoria then appeared to intervene after the Rocket Man vocalist's involvement. She liked Brooklyn's latest Instagram reel showing him rustling up pasta in the kitchen, suggesting tensions could be thawing. 7 Mum of four Victoria has hit the heart-shaped button on his uploads this month Credit: Instagram 7 Brooklyn is said to be 'obsessed' with American wife Nicola Credit: Instagram

Vanuatu island chief 'very impressed' by global climate decision
PORT VILA - The paramount chief of a volcanic island in Vanuatu said he was "very impressed" by a global court's declaration that countries must tackle climate change. Vanuatu spearheaded the legal case at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, which found countries have a duty to protect against the "urgent and existential" threat of a warming planet. "I'm very impressed," George Bumseng, the highest chief of the Pacific archipelago's cyclone-prone island of Ambrym, told AFP in the capital Port Vila. "We have been waiting for this decision for a long time because we have been victims of this climate change for the past two decades," he said. The chief recalled that his island was battered by three tropical cyclones in 2023, with twin cyclones Judy and Kevin striking in March of that year, followed by Lola in October. The storms damaged "a lot of our root crops and forests and our traditional medicines", said Bumseng, who is chairman of the Ambrym council of chiefs. Global warming "keeps on changing our environment", the chief said. "We no longer have fig trees. There's coastal erosion continuously. Our tide is also changing," he said. "Some of the traditional crops are no longer growing like before," he added. "We're very happy that the International Court of Justice has ruled in favour on this issue."
