Victoria Beckham breaks cover with Harper as Brooklyn's snub plunges new depths
Brooklyn Beckham has failed to publicly congratulate his dad on his knighthood after saying he 'chooses' his wife Nicola amid the family feud
Victoria Beckham has been seen for the first time since her husband was knighted in the King's Birthday Honours. The former Spice Girl singer turned fashion designer, 51, took daughter Harper on a girls' night at the ballet.
Victoria, who is now Lady Beckham, attended the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ballet in London with her Harper. The mum described their trip as a 'special night' as she and Harper, 13, took photos in the their box at the Royal Ballet & Opera house.
The sweet mother and daughter trip came hours after dad David was made a Sir for his services to sport and charity.
In a post shared on Saturday on Instagram, Lady Beckham said: 'You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official. Sir @davidbeckham!!! What an honour, I couldn't be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered. The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday.
'But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx.'
The football star, who was formerly appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2003, responded to the post by expressing his love for his family, mentioning each of his children and adding 'I love you all'.
David has since been inundated with congratulations from his famous friends and former teammates from Gordon Ramsey to Gary Neville. But one person notably absent from the celebrations has been his eldest son Brooklyn.
Brooklyn is said to be embroiled in a feud with his family after moving to Los Angeles with wife Nicola Peltz. He was also not seen at his dad's 50th birthday celebrations last month.
The eldest of the Beckham boys alarmed fans when he posted that he was 'choosing wife Nicola' and described her as his 'whole world '. It has since been reported that Brooklyn has 'cut all ties' with the Beckhams and only learned of his dad's knighthood when he read about it in the press.
Despite the fallout, David appeared to offer an olive branch to his son when he said he wanted to share the emotional moment with his family.
In a statement to the PA News Agency, Sir David said: 'Growing up in east London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour.
'To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true.
'Off the pitch I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to represent Britain around the world and work with incredible organisations that are supporting communities in need and inspiring the next generation.
'I'm so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I'm grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment.
'It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I'm immensely proud and it's such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.'
