Romeo Beckham has paid tribute to his dad on Instagram as Sir David Beckham was knighted by King Charles III today for his sporting and charity contributions to the United Kingdom
Romeo Beckham has paid a touching tribute to his father following the football legend’s long-awaited knighthood, but fans couldn’t help noticing one key absence from his post.
The model, 22, shared a family photo from Windsor Castle, where he could be seen proudly posing alongside his mum Victoria, siblings Cruz and Harper, and their newly titled dad Sir David Beckham.
All four stood to attention proudly beside the former England captain, who finally received the honour from King Charles for his services to sport and charity.
Romeo captioned the heartfelt post: “No one deserves this more than you, love you so much xxx. Congrats Sir dad.” Followers loved his message, but many were also quick to point out that David’s eldest son, Brooklyn, was missing from the special scene.
One fan commented: “Such a great honour and for Brooklyn not to show is pretty terrible”! Another added: “Perfect photo, it’s such a shame your other son wasn’t in this photo also xx”.
Others gushed over the touching moment, writing: “This is just everything”, and “Congratulations! Well deserved, David! Nation’s treasure”.
Being knighted by King Charles at Windsor Castle was a milestone moment for Beckham, 50, who has been a UNICEF ambassador for two decades and was a driving force behind the London 2012 Olympics.
But Brooklyn, 26, was noticeably absent from both the ceremony and Romeo’s post. The rift between Brooklyn and his parents is believed to have begun around the time of Brooklyn’s 2022 wedding to actress Nicola Peltz.
The lavish Palm Beach celebration was said to have been marred by behind-the-scenes disagreements between the bride and Victoria Beckham over Nicola’s choice of dress.
Since then, Brooklyn has been absent from many major family milestones. He missed David’s 50th birthday celebrations in May and skipped both Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show and the premiere of her Netflix documentary.
The last time Brooklyn was pictured with the family was during Christmas 2024, and since then, the relationship he has with his mum and dad appears to have become more strained.
Victoria recently hinted at the strain in an interview with The Sunday Times, while addressing the Gallagher brothers ‘ long-running feud. She said: “I just think their mum must be so happy, it must have been really tough on the mum, the boys not talking for all those years”.
Brooklyn and Nicola renewed their vows earlier this summer in a 200-guest ceremony, but none of the Beckhams were invited. Even Romeo and Cruz were reportedly left off the guest list after a few teasing social media exchanges that insiders claim were taken out of context.
Friends of Brooklyn and Nicola insist their “door is open” and that the couple are hoping for a reconciliation with the rest of the Beckham family.
However, sources close to the Beckhams say Victoria and David have “tried for months” to reach out, describing David as “heartbroken” but still hopeful that they might one day work things out.
