Brooklyn Peltz Beckham has accused his parents of using his sister for a staged photo opportunity.
The Beckham family feud erupted again this week after photographers captured the moment Peltz Beckham’s sister, Harper Beckham, 14, delivered a handwritten letter to his £14m Los Angeles home.
She left after there was no response at the door, but a representative of Peltz Beckham later responded to claim the visit was staged as part of an ongoing row with Sir David Beckham and Lady Beckham.
They said: “[The fact] that photographers were in place as the letter was hand-delivered says it all – this was choreographed for the cameras.”

The visit came hours after Sir David was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, supported by Lady Beckham and their children Harper, Romeo and Cruz Beckham.
Peltz Beckham later shared a picture online of his run in New York City, proving he was not home when Harper called.

Friends close to Sir David and Lady Beckham called Peltz Beckham’s latest accusation “incredibly sad”, saying on Sunday: “It’s incredibly sad that this horrible accusation is being levelled at an innocent young girl who just desperately misses her brother.
“Nothing needed to be said at all so to invent this nasty accusation is really unnecessary.”

Peltz Beckham, 27, has previously accused his parents of using the press to “attack” him and his wife, saying they have tried “endlessly to ruin” his relationship.
The family rift first developed when Peltz Beckham married Nicola Peltz in 2022, an occasion he later alleged was “hijacked” by his mother.
After years of simmering tensions, Peltz Beckham released a statement in 2026 attacking his parents, writing: “I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.
“Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.
“For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.
“The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”
His parents did not respond directly to the claims, but in April, Lady Beckham made a general defence of their parenting, saying: “I think that we’ve always – we love our children so much.
“We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be. And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children.”
