单集文稿 ...

  • From The Times and The Sunday Times, this is the story.

  • On Saturday, I'm Luke Jones.

  • There is drama with the Beckhams.

  • Something coming into us this evening,

  • Brooklyn Beckham saying he doesn't want to reconcile with his family.

  • This happened in an explosive social media post a little earlier this evening.

  • It has long been rumoured that Victoria and David weren't getting on with their eldest son and daughter-in-law.

  • There were reports of arguments over the wedding,

  • over who was or wasn't liking whose posts on Instagram,

  • questions over why the heir to David and Victoria's empire wasn't an old dad's 50th.

  • And then, this week, Brooklyn Beckham, for it is he, published a damning, damning statement.

  • He complained of controlling parents, performative social media posts,

  • a wedding ruined, attacks, twisted narratives.

  • It was nuclear.

  • My family values public promotion and endorsement above all else.

  • Bran Beckham comes first.

  • We had a colleague read the posts out loud for a drama.

  • Performative social media posts,

  • family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

  • But I believe the truth always comes out.
