Nicola Peltz has once again ignited speculation about her strained relationship with her in-laws after appearing to overlook her father-in-law Sir David Beckham’s long-awaited knighthood — instead taking to Instagram to gush over her sister.
The 30-year-old actress shared a photo of a vibrant bouquet sent by her sister, Brittany, writing: “Omg @brittanyleahpeltz thank you so so so much these are breathtaking.” While the heartfelt post was full of love for her sibling, fans couldn’t help but notice what wasn’t said — there was no public congratulations for her newly knighted father-in-law.
Sir David, 50, was formally honoured by King Charles at Windsor Castle for his services to sport and charity. His wife, Lady Victoria, and parents Ted and Sandra proudly watched on as he bowed to the monarch, joined by the couple’s three youngest children — Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.
However, Nicola and her husband Brooklyn, 26, were nowhere to be seen. The pair not only skipped the family’s once-in-a-lifetime event but also failed to post any acknowledgment of the milestone online. Sources have claimed Brooklyn “did not reach out privately” either, focusing instead on promoting his hot sauce brand, Cloud 23.
The silence came after months of tension between Brooklyn and his parents, with reports that he skipped David’s 50th birthday in May. Insiders revealed that Victoria has finally “drawn a line in the sand,” declaring she “can no longer keep fighting the same fight.”
Meanwhile, Victoria shared her own emotional tribute to her husband, writing: “David, from the moment I met you 28 years ago, you’ve always been so proud to represent your country. No one loves England or respects our Royal Family more, so to see you honoured by The King today is something I’ll forever cherish.”
David himself admitted the day was “emotional,” saying, “To have my parents there today, my wife, and my children — it’s something we can all be proud of as a family.”
But for all the royal ceremony and family pride, one silence spoke louder than words — and it came wrapped in flowers.
