David and Victoria Beckham are said to be “sad” after Brooklyn claimed that Harper’s visit to his home was “choreographed”. Just hours after the youngest of the Beckham clan stood alongside her family as Sir David was honoured on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, she was seen arriving at her brother’s house.
However, while Harper may have hoped for a reconciliation with her brother, things didn’t go to plan. Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham, were nowhere to be found, leaving Harper with no choice but to turn away without setting foot inside.
Despite the awkward encounter, Brooklyn was actually in New York. He shared a snap of himself out for a run in the Big Apple – on the other side of the United States. Speaking to Page Six, a spokesperson for the eldest Beckham child said: “That photographers were in place as the letter was hand-delivered says it all — this was choreographed for the cameras.”
But a source close to Sir David and Victoria told the Daily Mail: “It is incredibly sad that this horrible accusation is being levelled at an innocent young girl who just desperately misses her brother. Nothing needed to be said at all, so to invent this nasty accusation is really unnecessary.”

Earlier this year, Brooklyn took to Instagram Stories to issue a scathing statement.
After years of claims that he was locked in a feud with his family, he lashed out, saying he had been “silent for years” and had attempted to keep matters private.
He fumed: “Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.” But could Brooklyn see himself reuniting with his family?
The wannabe chef went on to add: “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”

While Sir David and Lady Beckham have remained very tight-lipped on the situation, a friend has said it is “incredibly sad”.
They told the Daily Mail: “It is incredibly sad that this horrible accusation is being levelled at an innocent young girl who just desperately misses her brother.
“Nothing needed to be said at all, so to invent this nasty accusation is really unnecessary.”

Taking to Instagram just hours after, he re-shared a post on his Instagram Story, showing him out for a run around New York – meaning he is miles away from his Californian home.

The 14-year-old had been in the US with her brothers, Romeo and Cruz, and mum Victoria to celebrate dad, Sir David, receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Hours after the ceremony, Harper was photographed arriving at Brooklyn’s mansion in an SUV. In pictures obtained by Page Six, Harper was seen walking to the gates alone, still wearing her pink silk dress from the ceremony.
Insiders said Harper arrived ‘unannounced’ and she was the only one of the family to make the trip. However, attempts at a reconciliation fell flat as Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, were nowhere to be seen, and the youngest Beckham did not go inside.
