Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham were notable absences at Windsor Castle on Tuesday as dad David achieved his knighthood dream.

David had invited the whole family from wife Victoria to his parents and children Cruz, Romeo and Harper looking proudly on – but eldest son Brooklyn and Nicola failed to show at the huge family occasion. The pair didn’t join the thousands reaching out to David on the achievement on social media either.
Brooklyn chose to stay completely away from his accounts, avoiding the outpouring of love for his dad who was awarded for his services to charity and sport. Miles away in their home in Los Angeles, the estranged due chose to spend the day thinking about anything but Brooklyn’s family in London.
Nicola has now taken to Instagram in her first post since David’s knighthood, but again failed to mention the momentous occasion. Instead Nicola reached out to her sister, who she remains on speaking terms with, Brittany Peltz.

Sharing a huge bouquet of pastel coloured peonies from her sibling, Nicola penned “Thank you so so much. They are breathtaking.” But the heriess failed to say what the flowers were for.
This week it was reported that Nicola is still ‘not ready’ to make peace with her in-laws, despite David attempting to reach out to her and Brooklyn since June.
Victoria is also said to be trying to make peace with her son and his wife. However, all attempts at a truce have fallen flat so far.

“Nicola’s not ready to make nice,” the source revealed.

Nicola and Brooklyn have cut his family out of their lives
The alleged family feud began when Nicola allegedly refused to wear a wedding gown designed by her mother-in-law. The actress-model told Variety in 2022 that she wanted Victoria to design her bridal gown, but months before her big day, Victoria realised ‘her atelier couldn’t do it.’

Nicola decided to walk down the aisle in a Valentino couture dress instead. “She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it. That’s where it started, and then they ran with that,” Nicola said of the feud origin.
This year, Nicola and Brooklyn got married again – without David and Victoria there – as they renewed their vows in front of her family only. The move was said to have been a dagger in the heart to Brooklyn’s parents who weren’t even told the ceremony was happening.
In a cover interview with Tatler magazine in 2022, Nicola discussed her husband Brooklyn and said he’d had a difficult start in life.

Nicola said Brooklyn was now able to speak to her billionaire dad, Nelson Peltz, for career advice. She said before that Brooklyn had been under a ‘lot of pressure to please people with his career.’

Earlier this year Brooklyn declared his unwavering support for his wife as he said he would ‘always choose her’ as the family rift took a bleak turn.
It came after he and Nicola were notably absent from several recent family events — including David’s 50th birthday celebrations.
Posting a video of him and Nicola riding on a motorbike through Los Angeles, he captioned post: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.”
