Some fans think Brooklyn was never even invited to the boys trip - amid fuelling rumours of a feud between the dad and eldest son.

The Sun exclusively revealed David's "heartbreak" that his eldest son did not join the London celebrations over the weekend.

Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were notably absent from Victoria’s Instagram images - including a family shot of Posh, 51, and Becks with their three other children - Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13.

It is understood the pair instead flew to New York ahead of their Met Gala appearance, an event they previously attended in 2022.

They also missed a family trip to France on Friday and Saturday night’s soiree in London.

As the celebrations were in full swing at the weekend, Nicola shared an emotional post on Instagram describing her special bond with her late grandmothers.

She wrote: “They were my best friends, there wasn’t a day I wasn’t with them.”

The post prompted fans to urge an end to the rift.

One wrote: “I can imagine your husband’s father is feeling the immense loss of his son on his birthday week and it’s shameful.”

Insiders said David and Victoria were sad Brooklyn did not attend any of the parties, send a card or call.

An insider said: “Everyone had an amazing time.

“Naturally David and Victoria were upset Brooklyn wasn’t there with them but made sure it was an occasion to remember.”

Brooklyn previously fell out with his parents shortly after his marriage to Nicola.
