Victoria posted a story of her getting ready for the event
It’s getting into “I don’t know how you’re still alive” territory. As others have said here is a woman who could be partying all around the world, eating, drinking, shopping, holidaying. But she looks like a prisoner in her own life.

Victoria is Donald Trump Jr levels of tragic - a woman who could be having a blast - and spends her whole life crippled with anxiety about how she looks, untouched by her cheating husband, trying to compete with her sons' squeezes and never eating any of the food in those banging restaurants they go to. What a sad life. I'd rather eat the nachos and have a crack with my lovely partner and daughter!
I couldn't agree more. All the trappings of wealth and yet none of the joy.

I feel so sorry for Harper. She looks like a sweet girl but the way she has to live will surely impact her…the constant cameras and press, spending so much time with just adults and at grown-up events, the skinniness of women in the fashion world (and her own mother of course), flying from country to country, 3 older brothers plus a father who is totally over protective

It will be facinating to see what she’s like 20 years from now. I felt sad watching the footage of her coming out of that building in Paris and VB trailing behind with that ridiculous outfit on and huge shades. What a ridiculous example she sets as a mother.

I know Harper has material wealth but I don’t think anyone would envy the childhood she has had.

I used to have a bit of a soft spot for both of them but one of the things that has grated over the years is Beckham's corporate wh***ing for just about any product for money. I asked Grok for a list of his endorsements:

David Beckham has endorsed a wide range of products and brands for remuneration throughout his career. Below is a comprehensive list of brands and products he has been associated with, based on available information:
  • Adidas: Lifetime endorsement deal signed in 2003, reportedly worth $160 million, promoting sportswear and footwear, including the iconic Predator boots.
  • AliExpress: Global ambassador for the Alibaba Group's cross-border marketplace, notably for the ‘Score More with AliExpress’ campaign tied to the UEFA European Football Championship.
  • Armani (Emporio Armani and Giorgio Armani): Endorsed Emporio Armani underwear from 2007, leading to a significant sales boost, and signed a $20 million deal in 2012 to become Giorgio Armani’s global ambassador.
  • Gillette: Signed a three-year endorsement contract in 2004 to promote razors and grooming products, with a multi-million-pound deal in 2004 reported as the biggest for a footballer at the time.
  • H&M: Long-term partnership with the Swedish clothing retailer, including promotional campaigns and a bodywear collection, notably featuring ads with Kevin Hart.
  • Tudor Watches: Brand ambassador since 2017, starring in the “Born to Dare” campaign to promote luxury timepieces.
  • Haig Club Whiskey: Partnered with Diageo to launch and promote the single-grain whiskey brand in 2014, with a reported $50 million stake.
  • AIA Group: Global ambassador for the Asia-Pacific insurance and finance company since 2017, through a multi-year endorsement deal.
  • Pepsi: Long-standing endorsement, featuring in commercials as a gladiator and cowboy, collaborating with celebrities like Beyoncé.
  • Qatar World Cup: Ambassador for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, reportedly part of a 10-year deal worth £125 million ($159 million), including £10 million for the event itself.
  • Maserati: Signed in June 2021 as the face of the brand, starring in campaigns for the MC20 electric car and receiving a gifted model.
  • Sainsbury’s: Brand ambassador in 2011, earning $6.5 million to promote the Active Kids campaign and the 2012 London Paralympics.
  • Kent & Curwen: Five-year endorsement deal starting in 2015, promoting a clothing line, though the partnership ended in 2020.
  • Breitling: Endorsed luxury watches, featured in promotional campaigns.
  • Samsung: Promoted the Samsung Galaxy series through commercials while wearing Guild Esports merchandise, with sponsorship including cash and stock.
  • Vodafone: Endorsement deal for telecommunications products in the early 2000s.
  • Brylcreem: Signed a £4 million deal in 1997 to promote hair styling products during his early career.
  • Marks & Spencer: Endorsed high-street retail products in the early 2000s.
  • Police Sunglasses: Brand ambassador until 2006, when the endorsement contract was lost.
  • Nespresso: Signed a deal to promote coffee products, noted in 2023.
  • Stella Artois: Promoted the beer brand in campaigns launched in spring 2024, with financial terms undisclosed.
  • Hugo Boss: Endorsed clothing products as part of recent brand partnerships.
  • Walkers Crisps: Featured in advertising campaigns for the snack brand.
  • Bowers & Wilkins: Signed a year-long deal in 2024 to promote high-end headphones, including £599 models.
  • SharkNinja (Ninja Brand): Global brand ambassador for the innovative appliance brand, focusing on kitchen and home products.
  • Safilo Eyewear: Partnered for the DB Eyewear brand, distributed through Seven Global LLP.
  • Coty (David Beckham Fragrances): Collaborated on a range of perfumes since 2005, including Instinct, Intimately Beckham, and Aromatic Greens, produced with perfumers like Shyamala Maisondieu.
  • EA Sports: Partnered for gaming-related endorsements, tied to sports and lifestyle branding.
  • Sands: Endorsed the luxury hospitality brand, part of his broader portfolio.
  • Cellular Goods: Invested in and promoted cannabis-based skincare products in 2021, with a modest stake in the $20 million-valued company.
  • L’Oréal: Worked with the cosmetics brand on promotional campaigns.
This list reflects Beckham’s extensive endorsement portfolio across fashion, grooming, beverages, technology, and more, leveraging his global appeal. Some deals, like those with Police and Gillette, ended earlier in his career, while others, such as Adidas and H&M, have been long-term. Financial terms vary, with some contracts (e.g., Adidas, Qatar) reaching multi-million-dollar figures, while others remain undisclosed.
Note: Beckham’s endorsements are often tied to his brand management company, DB Ventures, and partnerships with Authentic Brands Group since 2022, which has scaled his deals. Some endorsements may involve equity or profit-sharing, as seen with Haig Club and Samsung.

What's next Becks - Raytheon or Lockheed Martin? Put your face to some anti-tank missiles?

That’s over 30 years - he’s allowed to maximise his income isn’t he? That’s what most people do unless they are truly disinterested in money.

Yes I would have if I was DB / VB but I would have kept the kids a bit more low key esp Harper. She seems like a nice little girl, not too precocious. You can’t knock DB for loving her too much. There can’t ever be too much love for your child - I just wish he wouldn’t share his love with every woman too - surely it’s an expose waiting to happen? 🤣

Also..warming to my Harper theme here…it would be intriguing to see how she comes across. She’s lived such an adult and international kind of life.

My friend’s daughter was at school with the daughter of a Strictly presenter and said her poise and ability to speak in front of an audience was off the scale. Maybe a combination of a good private school and being exposed to the media world.

Say Brooklyn was given 2 choices:
A) enjoy you and your wife's millions and chill by the pool, occasionally pretend you're a chef, but otherwise enjoy your luxuries privately
Or
B) pimp yourself out with your toxic, fame greedy, performative parents. Get papped at restaurant as your mum pouts whilst playing with her food, and whilst your dad plays footsie with a beautiful waitress

God I also touch my kids, they bloody hate it. I think DB is tactile. You cannot knock him for the natural love he shows the children. It’s a beautiful thing. All dads are the same. He’s just being protective and mad love for his only daughter.

Is he a tax dodger?
He has been in the past, it's one of the things getting in the way of his K.

If you look at the people in sports and entertainment who get one, it's either a huge achievement (Olympic gold medal) or some equivalent representation of the UK including a lifetime of plugging away consistently and exceptionally at something. E.g. Tanni Grey-Thompson, Helen Mirren.

The latter half of DBs life has been playing for foreign clubs and doing brand endorsements, sorry to say I just don't think that cuts it. I hope King Charles (and William eventually) stick to their guns.

He doesn’t act as much like that with the boys and seems repulsed by Victoria. I have no problem with a parent being protective of and loving their child but when I see David and harper I don’t see that. I see a man who can’t keep his hands of his ever increasingly uncomfortable looking daughter while blocking out his wife. It’s every picture, he’s touching harper, holding hands with her. Even when Victoria had a broken foot he held hands with harper rather than helping a struggling Victoria.

The below clip shows how uncomfortable she’s becoming.

My dad was the same. I don't have a problem with it. He absolutely adored me and when I got pregnant at 16, he was convinced I'd been raped 😂
