Brooklyn Beckham’s Breakup With His Family a Tawdry Tantrum

Another British drama has gone viral in the United States. No, not Downton Abbey, but the public breakup of nepo baby Brooklyn Beckham from his family.

As with the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle saga, Brooklyn lodged scathing accusations against his clan — after he raked in lucrative opportunities off their name. The whole thing feels like a tantrum from a petulant child who, like the ex-royals, desperately wanted the attention from a manufactured conflict to make himself feel special after living in his parents’ shadow. Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, are now bound to follow Harry and Meghan’s path into international insufferableness, as pests who produce nothing and complain about everything.
