Victoria and David Beckham narrowly avoid awkward run-in with Brooklyn in St Tropez

Victoria and David Beckham narrowly avoided a red-faced run-in with their firstborn, Brooklyn, and his wife in St Tropez last week. The Beckhams were in the south of France for their annual jaunt onboard a luxury £16 million yacht with their kids Romeo and Harper after Brooklyn and Nicola were seen larking about on the heiress' father's boat nearby.

Brooklyn and Nicola were spotted just 48 hours before the Beckhams arrived in St Tropez having a slap-up lunch with the wannabe chef's godfather,Sir Elton John, who reportedly tried to play peacekeeper between Brooklyn and his parents.

However, despite the Sorry star's best efforts, the feud appears to be rumbling on after Brooklyn and Nicola swerved David's 50th birthday celebrations in May amid reports the 26-year-old was angry with his family for the way they had allegedly treated Nicola.

Brooklyn's siblings Harper and Romeo were the first to be spotted in St Tropez, with smiles a mile wide onboard a speedboat. It comes after the former photographer unfollowed both Romeo and younger brother Cruz on Instagram, with one source claiming there was "no way back" for the famous family.

Also seen lapping up the luxury at sea were Victoria and David as they treated Harper and Romeo to dinner onboard the family's yacht while Cruz and girlfriend Jackie Apostle reportedly soaked up the sun elsewhere in the star-studded town.

It comes as Brooklyn and Nicola shared snaps of themselves, appearing to be in the UK, while the Beckhams were in France.

The husband and wife are said to have jetted into Blighty for the weekend and seemed to be enjoying downtime in the English countryside.

It comes after Victoria and David's close friend, Elton, reportedly tried his best to oil the wheels of peace between the Beckhams as Brooklyn's concerned godfather.

The music legend recently hosted the self-confessed 'nutter in the kitchen' and his wife for lunch in Cannes alongside his husband, David Furnish. The gathering took place at the upscale La Guerite beach club, where the group reportedly addressed the strained family dynamics.

“Elton is the showbiz equivalent of Switzerland,” a source told The Sun in relation to the star's peace-keeping attempts, adding: “He’s utterly neutral in this row.”

And while the Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) star may have previously leaned into celebrity rivalries, such as his past feud with Madonna, those close to him say he’s now more interested in maintaining peace.

The source continued: “Elton of old may have relished in taking sides - in this case his young godson, Brooklyn, but two years off his 80th birthday, he’s a man who has seen and done it all. He just wants everyone to be happy."
