The Beckhams put on a united front for what was a big night for Victoria, following the recent drama surrounding the family.
On Monday evening, Victoria was joined by her husband Sir David Beckham and their three youngest children to receive the Chevalière de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, one of France’s highest honours, from the French Ministry of Culture.
As they made their way to the ceremony, Victoria was pictured leaving their hotel with their sons Romeo and Cruz, daughter Harper and their sons’ girlfriends Kim Turnbull and Jackie Apostel, who also posed for a group photo after the former Spice Girls star received the title.
Not in attendance, of course, were Victoria and Sir David’s eldest son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his wife Nicola.
One week earlier, he made headlines around the world when he spoke out for the first time about falling out with his parents, insisting he had no intention of reconciling with them and accusing them of “performative” and “controlling” behaviour.
HuffPost UK previously contacted both Sir David and Victoria’s teams for comment on Brooklyn’s remarks, but did not receive a response.
After receiving her honour on Monday, Victoria wrote on social media: “’I am so honoured […] I have always deeply admired the French aesthetic and the seriousness with which it treats fashion: as a form of art. So, to be recognised here and embraced in this way, is a profound privilege – one that reflects decades of commitment and dedication.
“My sincere thanks to the French Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati for this honour. Thank you also to business partners who believed in me, my family, and especially David – my husband, and original investor.
“I couldn’t be more grateful, you are my everything.”

While Sir David and Victoria Beckham are yet to speak publicly about Brooklyn’s scathing social media posts, their younger sons Romeo and Cruz recently alluded to them in a TikTok video of their own.
