Brooklyn Beckham has failed to acknowledge his father David’s knighthood after the huge fall-out with him and his mother Victoria.
Amid the flood of congratulatory messages on social media for the former England football captain from his family, including praise from his wife and two other sons, 26-year-old Brooklyn chose to stay silent in public.
Brooklyn’s wife, American heiress Nicola Peltz, 30, followed suit.
According to friends close to the Beckhams, it was not unexpected that Brooklyn, who is known as an influencer, once again opted not to acknowledge his father, with some attributing this behavior to Nicola exerting influence and control over him.
But they are said to be saddened as Brooklyn knows what it means for his Dad to get his knighthood.
Those with insights into the family dynamics are eagerly anticipating whether Brooklyn, who resides in Los Angeles with Nicola, will eventually break his silence on Instagram to extend Father’s Day wishes to David on this special day.
‘That’s the next thing,’ said a friend. ‘He didn’t wish his mother a happy Mother’s Day so it’s unlikely he will be in touch with David – but let’s see.’
David’s knighthood has given the Beckhams something to smile about after they were left heartbroken by the fall-out with Brooklyn.

He left his parents sad and furious when he and Nicola snubbed all of David’s 50th birthday celebrations.
They did not attend a pre-birthday bash at Italian restaurant Cipriani in Miami in March, nor a big family party at the Beckhams’ £10 million Oxfordshire home.
They also missed an idyllic trip to France and a dinner at Notting Hill, West London, restaurant Core.
Brooklyn also shunned a ‘boys’ fishing trip’ to the Highlands with his father and his younger brothers.
Posh and Becks don’t think they will have a relationship with Brooklyn for the foreseeable future.
But fashion designer Victoria yesterday shared her pride at her husband’s gong.
It’s a tribute that a decade ago looked unlikely to be granted after David blasted the honours committee for taking his name off their list, calling them ‘unappreciative c***s’ and insisted he ‘didn’t care about being knighted’.
However, that was all ancient history when in a gushing Instagram post, Victoria, 51, wrote alongside a picture of her planting a kiss on David’s face: ‘You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir @davidbeckham!!!

Brooklyn has reportedly ‘told his famous family that he wants no contact’ with them in the latest devastating turn of their ongoing feud (pictured with his parents and siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Harper)
‘What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you.
‘Your dedication to the things that matter most – your country, your work, your passion and most of all, your family – has never wavered. The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us every day. But above all else, I’m so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much xxxx.’
Son Romeo, 22, posted a photograph of him and his father dancing at a party alongside the words ‘so proud of you’.
His younger brother Cruz, 20, went one better by posted two congratulatory messages on social media.
The first was a snap of David smiling as he sits in a wooded area. ‘I’m so proud of you dad, I love you,’ Cruz wrote alongside. He added: ‘Sir David Beckham has a nice ring to it.’
In another post Cruz teased his mother, writing: ‘Sir David Beckham & Lady Victoria’ with a photograph of his parents on the steps of their Holland Park, London, mansion on the night they joined King Charles at Buckingham Palace for a welcoming ceremony for the Emir of Qatar, which David attended with his OBE medal on his chest.
David, who also has a daughter Harper, 13, is now in Miami, where he co-owns Inter Miami football team.
He is likely to come before the King for his investiture later this year.
He is expected to take Victoria and his parents Sandra and Ted, whom he credits for his footballing success, as his three guests, with a huge party to follow afterwards.
