Why Did Brooklyn Beckham Get Left Out? Victoria’s Sweet Family Post Raises Eyebrows After Birthday Snub

Victoria Beckham pointedly left her eldest son Brooklyn out of a series of family portraits after he was notably absent from David’s 50th birthday celebrations.
Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz were no-shows at any of David’s birthday events last week and then pulled out of attending the Met Gala, with sources claiming he felt his wife was being blamed for a rift with his family.

Amid rumours of a falling out, Victoria, 51, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a gallery of family photographs from David’s raucous party in London on Saturday.

She posted a sweet picture of her and David cuddling up to one another as well as black-and-white portraits of their children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.
However, Brooklyn was pointedly absent from the series of heartwarming snaps after he failed to attend the star-studded party, held at luxury London restaurant Core.
While Victoria normally writes tributes including ‘missing you @brooklynbeckham’ on her posts when he is absent, the mother-of-four failed to mention her eldest son in her latest posts.

Following the birthday party snub, it was revealed Brooklyn declined an invitation by his father to join him and his brothers on a ‘boys’ fishing trip to celebrate his 50th.
The Mail revealed David invited Brooklyn on a short break six months ago when he began planning, yet his son failed to go despite arriving in the UK the day he went with Romeo and Cruz.

Sources have suggested that Brooklyn’s decision was influenced by his American actress wife Nicola, 30.
‘Brooklyn was asked to join them ages ago,’ one claimed.
‘Then he came to London in time but he didn’t go. Once again David made the best of things and had a great time with Cruz and Romeo.’
David still offered an olive branch to his son as he shared snaps from the trip, as he captioned one of his posts: ‘You were missed @brooklynbeckham.’

Claims that Brooklyn and Nicola were rebuffed when they asked David and Victoria to celebrate David’s birthday privately were also said to be untrue.
Sources close to Nicola told TMZ they wanted ‘to get together privately’ to avoid Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull as the couple are said to ‘have a problem’ with her.

Revealing details from their trip, David revealed that he and his sons had dinner together before the technology-free trip where their mobile phones were banned.
Beaming beside his less than impressed sons, David wrote: ‘Last time boys were allowed to use their phones. Not so happy about it.’
In another shot, David held up a net full of scallops which he said were ready to be cooked on the fire.
