Brooklyn Beckham to ‘claw back his own name from mother’

The Spice Girl and her husband, former Manchester United and England footballer Sir David Beckham, have lived in Oxfordshire for around a decade.

The couple, who have a Cotswolds mansion in Great Tew near Chipping Norton, have been embroiled in a public family feud for some time now.

In January, this came to a head as their eldest son, Brooklyn, made explosive allegations in a lengthy Instagram post.

He claimed that his mother “hijacked” his first dance with his wife, Nicola Peltz, and danced “inappropriately on me” in front of their guests, adding that he had never felt more “uncomfortable or humiliated” in his life.

And he also alleged that his wife had been “disrespected” by his family and was not invited to his father’s 50th birthday party.

Now, according to a report in The Mirror, Brooklyn is aiming to “claw back” ownership of his own name from his mother.

“Victoria trademarked the Intellectual Property for his full name in 2016-17 in order to protect him, and ensure no one else could exploit his famous name,” a source told The Sun, as referenced by The Mirror article.

“It certainly wasn’t a malicious thing, and the view was that Brooklyn could do with it what he wanted in adulthood, but from Brooklyn’s perspective, it was yet another example of control being displayed over him.

“He feels infantilised and just wants to claw back control over the most simple of things — his name.”

The source added that despite not making a decision on the matter yet, Brooklyn is “weighing up all his options”.
