King’s Road gallery Tanya Baxter Contemporary has been selling Rocco’s 20th century-inspired works since 2018, under the pseudonym ‘Rhed’ – and nobody knew until recently

A great comparison to Brooklyn is Rocco Ritchie (Madonna/ Guy Ritchies kid). Comes from famous and talented parents, slightly younger than BB, and has used his privilege to be a try be a success in the art world. When he first started, it was under a pseudonym, as he wanted credibility without relying on his parents. Conversely everything Brooklyn does relies on his name and ever present family. His photography book could've been anonymous, or he could've got work experience in one Gordon's restaurants.
Despite being some people in the art world not rating his work as an artist, Rocco's still going to the effort of completing a degree at Central Saint Martin's and clearly wants to make a long term career of this. Brooklyn just jumps from one obsession to another when the going gets tough.
It's not Brooklyn's wealth, fame or age that explain his behaviour so far, it's the parents. I despair for Nicola's poor choice of a little boy for husband. Hopefully her family money will protect her and in a few years time she'll end the marriage with no kids in tow
