Mum approves!

Brooklyn Beckham recently debuted the latest addition to his rapidly growing collection of body art, a tattoo dedicated to fashionista mom Victoria Beckham. The classic ink, done by tattoo artist Dr. Woo, is a heart with a scroll inscribed with the word “Mum” on his upper arm.

While some parents may not love their kids inking their bodies, the former Spice Girl certainly seems to approve. She shared an Instagram on Saturday in which she posed next to her son and the art done in her honor, pointing at the ink job.

“Big tattoo! X kisses from NYC!!” Victoria, 43, captioned the pic, tagging her son and adding “x #loveyou.”

Brooklyn, 18, has become a big fan of tattoos since getting his first, a Native American wearing a traditional headdress “just like dads,” only 10 months ago.

While some are dedicated to his personal interests, like the camera on his arm (he’s studying photography at college in New York City), many more have a familial meaning. Brooklyn has “1975,” dad David Beckham‘s birth year, inked on his hand as well as a series of numbers celebrating the birth years of his younger brothers and sister – Romeo, 15, Cruz, 12, and Harper, 6.

His latest body art isn’t even the first dedication to Victoria – he also has a tribute to his mother inscribed over his heart that reads, “Mama’s Boy.”

David, 42, also has some love for his family on his skin, sporting ink for each of his four children.

“Apparently Harper is allowed to scribble on daddy,” the athlete wrote on Instagram debuting his palm tattoo, a doodle by his daughter of a stick figure wearing a dress, standing next to a heart.

He also tattooed “We Love You Daddy” on his left ribcage.

“The boys expressing how they feel about daddy,” he explained.

The gang also share their amazing home with their adorable cocker spaniels – Sage, Olive and Fig – who have definitely kept them company over the year.

But the power couple have also taken up the opportunity to spend the second lockdown looking after themselves.David, 45, recently shared a snap of his leg – with 25 needles sticking out of it.

He was indulging in an acupuncture session, commonly used to treat chronic pain, but practitioners claim that it is good for treating everything from depression to migraines and fertility issues.

It’s not the first time the 45-year-old has shared his acupuncture session, having previously sworn the treatment is the “one thing” that repairs his muscles after working out.

Last week, the former England captain praised osteopath and acupuncturist James Davies, who was the Great Britain team therapist at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, as he shared another shot of his needle-covered leg.

MOST interns have a ’mare at some point during their first week – and it’s been no different for Brooklyn Beckham.

I can reveal those working alongside him during his internship with legendary photographer Rankin have been left stunned by his lack of basic skills.

Insiders told me Brooklyn has struggled with even the easiest jobs and is having to be treated like a total novice.

A source said: “Everyone knew Brooklyn’s work needed fine tuning but no one knew his knowledge of the simplest tasks was so off.

“Everyone had high hopes for him but it’s not been the most impressive start.

“He’s lacking in most areas. But he’s trying to make up for it in enthusiasm.

He has previously shot a scent campaign for Burberry and photographed Game Of Thrones’ Sophie Turner and his model girlfriend Hana Cross.

“Luckily, no one has asked him to make the tea yet but some have been tempted. It’s become a bit of a joke.”

Brooklyn’s 2017 photo book What I See was panned for being “blurry”.

But a second insider said throughout those shoots he needed help with “the lighting and setting up of the shots. It’s basic stuff”.

They added: “Brooklyn’s best at pressing the button on the camera.”

I’m not surprised he’s found it tough. Brooklyn dropped out of New York’s Parsons School of Design last year, where he was studying.

The Sun revealed at the time how he had deferred his place after landing another internship with a top photographer.

I think it’s time to go back to school, Brooklyn. No one can run before they can walk, — even if your parents are Posh and Becks.

AliExpress did not reveal how much it is paying the former England captain [Reuters]

David Beckham has signed a deal to be a global ambassador for AliExpress, an online retail platform owned by Chinese technology giant Alibaba.

The announcement comes as the Euros football tournament is due to kick off in Germany next month.

The company did not reveal how much it is paying the former England captain.

In March, AliExpress agreed an exclusive e-commerce platform partnership with European football’s governing body UEFA.

Under the deal with Beckham, the football superstar turned entrepreneur will be the face of AliExpress’ Score More promotion, which will run during games.

“AliExpress is helping fans get even closer to UEFA EURO 2024 this summer, by offering them great prizes as the action takes place on the pitch,” David Beckham said.

AliExpress joins other major Chinese firms that are sponsoring the Euros, including electric vehicle maker BYD and electronics giant Vivo.

Since hanging up his football boots more than a decade ago, Beckham has been linked to a host of brands and major sporting events.

According to the Sunday Times Rich List, Beckham and his wife Victoria, a former Spice Girl and fashion designer, have a combined fortune of £455m ($581.6m).

After the Paris Olympics and Paralympics, the tournament is set to be the biggest sporting event of the year.

A total of 2.7 million tickets were made available for the competition, which runs from 14 June to 14 July across 10 cities including Munich and Hamburg.

According to UEFA, the 2020 Euros had a total global live television audience of 5.2 billion. The final, that England lost on penalties, was watched by 328 million people, it said.

David Beckham always wanted children when he was young.

The 49-year-old retired soccer ace was thrilled to meet his 50-year-old fashion designer wife Victoria Beckham when he was in his twenties.

The couple had their eldest son Brooklyn, 25, in 1999, and married a few months later, before welcoming Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and 12-year-old daughter Harper.

And having his kids grow up during his career has been “really important” to David.

He told the ‘SmartLess’ podcast; “I am very happy because you know I feel very blessed to have had the career that I’ve had and played for the teams that I have and and experienced that and the one thing that I always wanted for me, you know, I was lucky I met Victoria when I met her because I always wanted to have kids young I always wanted to have kids that lived through my career with me and I was lucky the three boys all lived through most of the teams that I played no that’s great that’s really cool and and and that for me was a really important part of my life.”

Last month, David told Victoria their children are her “biggest success”, in a tribute to mark her 50th birthday.

In the post on Instagram, he wrote: “Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife … As you head into this birthday you should look back and be proud of what you have accomplished, achieved and what you have built, Posh Spice, business woman and of course marrying an England captain.

“But your biggest success are your children, you guide them, love them and teach them … They love you beyond words , we all love you so much. Have a special day you deserve it all. (sic)”
David then went on to joke: “50 and fit. I AM BEING HONEST” (sic)”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle need to find a way to ‘thrive and not just survive’, a royal expert has exclusively claimed after the couple’s unofficial ‘royal tour’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle need to find a way to “thrive and not just survive”, a royal expert has said.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from their royal duties in 2020, with them announcing that they would become financially independent from the monarchy. The couple then moved from Windsor in England to Montecito in the United States, with them setting up lives for themselves and their young family.

Since making the move away from the British Royal Family, and the United Kingdom, the Sussexes have sat down for televised interviews with the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Good Morning America, worked on podcasts and documentaries, and Prince Harry even released his memoir Spare.

The Sussexes’ projects have caused a stir among the public, and within the Royal Family too, causing a rift to form and deepen over time. And now an expert has warned that they “must stop offending” the royals in order for them to “thrive and not just survive”.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, royal expert and commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said: “If they are to thrive and not just survive they must avoid offending the Royal Family, their attacks have cost both them and the royals popularity and made them appear extremely destructive and also hypocritical over the issue of privacy.”

He then speculated: “Will we see future trips like Nigeria? Will Archie and Lili accompany them? The world ’s press was fascinated, but that was because they are members of the royal family. However, they have been unpredictable and it will be fascinating to see where they take matters from here.”

This comes after the Sussexes jetted to Nigeria from the UK for a 72-hour-whistle-stop tour of the West African country. Before jetting from London to Nigeria, Harry was in the capital city for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, with his wife, Meghan, meeting him at Heathrow before they flew to Africa for their unofficial “royal tour” in all but name.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were forced to sit apart when they attended Pippa Middleton’s wedding due to a bizarre rule she implemented for her guests on the day

When Princess Kate’s sister Pippa Middleton got married to James Matthew she had one unusual rule for her guests.

The bizarre request had a direct impact on Prince Harry and his girlfriend at the time Meghan Markle. Pippa and James tied the knot at St Mark’s Church in Englefield on May 20, 2017 with Prince George and Princess Charlotte serving their aunt as pageboy and bridesmaid.

After the ceremony their guests departed to head to their reception venue Bucklebury Village Hall to park their cars before undergoing an ID check and providing a password to head on to Pippa’s parents’ estate. Upon arrival they were welcomed into a 140-foot glass marquee in the garden decorated to an enchanted forest theme.

It’s here where Meghan joined back up with Harry. There was plenty of fun and games at the bash and even an extravagant light show before guests were served food and drink from a luxury menu that included mini haggis, deer carpaccio, langoustine claws and asparagus with Hollandaise sauce. However, upon taking to their seats the guests discovered that they had been banned from sitting with their other halves on the seating plan.

According to Harpers Bazaar, the etiquette guide Debretts says: “It is up to the host to decide whether husbands and wives are to be seated together or apart at formal events.” The move is thought to help guests get to know one another better.

The move meant that having travelled 3000 miles from the US to attend with Harry, Meghan was not allowed to sit with him. But, she almost didn’t get to attend at all when Pippa also implemented a “no ring, no bring” rule at her wedding. The request meant that guests could only bring a spouse or a fiancé as their date.

But Pippa must have made an exception for Meghan as she was in attendance at the after party with Harry with the pair photographed at the event. It seems Pippa’s brother James was also given a pass for the rule as he also brought a date who was not wearing an engagement or wedding ring with him.

At the time he was in a relationship with TV presenter Donna Air and she accompanied him to the bash as his date. James and Donna later broke up and he began dating french beauty Alizee Thevenet who he later wed in 2021. Harry would of course go on to wed Meghan just a year later in May 2018, following their engagement in November 2017.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent tour of Nigeria was dubbed ‘The Meghan Show’ by a Royal expert, who claimed the Duke is ‘entirely in his wife’s shadow’

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been warned of “two outcomes” if the Duchess continues to outshine the Duke.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently made headlines during their high-profile visit to Nigeria, sparking speculation as some observers noted that Harry appeared “worried” while Meghan seemingly stole the spotlight. This marked the duo’s first official international outing since their dramatic exit from Royal duties four years ago, following closely on the heels of Harry’s solo return to the UK for the Invictus Games anniversary.

Royal commentator Duncan Larcombe shared with OK! that, at 39, Harry seems to be comfortably “playing second fiddle” to his more dominant wife, Meghan, aged 42. “Meghan is a very strong character, very driven, extremely ambitious, and those are the kind of characteristics that mean she will almost always inevitably outshine Harry and grab the attention from him,” Duncan explained. “Harry is entirely in her shadow. But he’s never really been at ease with the attention, he’s never really enjoyed it.”

But also weighing in on the couple’s dynamic, Dr Sona Kapur, founder of Serenity Psychological Services and a clinical psychologist, told OK! Magazine that there are usually two potential outcomes when one person overshadows the other in a relationship. If Harry is content being outpaced by Meghan, it signifies “strong self-assurance and mutual support”, though she points out this isnt always the case.

She added “It can add pressure if not managed well, potentially causing feelings of inadequacy or resentment. Success requires open communication, mutual support, and ensuring both partners have opportunities to pursue their interests and shine.”

Duncan added: “Whether it’s deliberate or not, Meghan is definitely a magnet for attention. Although we saw a huge amount of money spent on her combined outfits for Nigeria so maybe it’s not a complete accident that she steals the limelight. Their Nigeria trip was ‘The Meghan Show’ and Harry was the side.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, on Friday, 10 May, without their two children, five year old Prince Archie and two year old Princess Lilibet. They spent the next three days immersed in planned activities such as visiting hospitals and schools, engaging in a seated volleyball session with veterans and Meghan delivering an empowering speech on women in leadership that drew significant media attention.

As official snaps of the visit began to surface, with Meghan often pictured in vibrant outfits while Harry sported solely beige or black ensembles, some suggested Harry looked uneasy and apprehensive alongside his wife. Body language specialist Darren Stanton clamed that despite the couple looking “filled with joy” at moments, Harry often appeared “worried” under the scrutinising limelight.

Meghan’s jewellery was very similar to the pieces worn by Princess Diana on her own visit to Nigeria in 1990 (

“They often display different emotions when they’re carrying out visits or engagements together as a team,” he said, speaking on behalf of Betfair Live Casino. “In Nigeria, we saw Harry looking slightly worried and not quite himself from time to time. We could see his eyebrows angling down, and a few of his facial expressions and smiles weren’t the most genuine from him. This can suggest Harry was feeling apprehensive and a bit nervous.”

Darren claimed he noticed “a few signals of apprehension” coming from Harry, “which tells us he could be feeling slightly on edge and not knowing how to act.”

As usual, Meghan’s wardrobe was a hot topic – especially next to Harry’s muted tones and after she addressed her style at the Women in Leadership event. Dressed in a scarlet-red long dress, Meghan told the audience “I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more colour so I can fit in with all of you in your incredible fashion.”

It also didn’t go unnoticed that some of Meghan’s looks were strikingly similar to those of her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, when she visited the same country back in 1990. During her visit to the Lightway Academy on day one, Meghan wore a blush pink maxi dress called “The Windsor Gown”, which sells for over £1,000. She accessorised with a gold collar necklace and large gold stud earrings incredibly like the ones worn by Princess Diana when she toured the West African country with King Charles.

Former Royal Editor Duncan has claimed that Meghan and Harry’s wardrobe choices would have been meticulously planned to convey specific messages. “Critics of Meghan would say she fully embraces basking in the sunshine and attention, she really is very meticulous about what she wears and how she carries herself,” he added.

Duncan also suggested that Meghan “dominated” the headlines during their trip, not only due to her own personality but also because Harry prefers to avoid the spotlight. “It’s a combination of Meghan’s personality and drive, and also a reflection of Harry’s willingness not to steal the limelight and frankly, feeling more comfortable playing second fiddle to his wife,” he said.

Meghan and Harry celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary with an intimate dinner at a seriously swanky restaurant near their California home, where they were accompanied by close pals

When Harry and Meghan tied the knot, their fairytale royal wedding was filled with A-list guests. And since moving to sunny California, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have embedded themselves even further into Hollywood circles.

The couple celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary last weekend, and opted to mark the occasion at an intimate fancy dinner with a handful of close pals.

Fashion designer Tracey Robbins and her husband Brian, the CEO of Paramount Pictures, reportedly joined Harry and Meghan at the swanky Lucky’s steakhouse – said to be one of Harry’s favourite spots since moving to Montecito a few years ago. The glamorous restaurant has played host to some serious stars over the years, including popstars like Ariana Grande and Katy Perry.

Other A-listers who have been spotted at the upmarket eatery include Oprah Winfrey and Ellen Degeneres, but it’s not Meghan and Harry’s first rodeo. Back in 2020 the Sussexes enjoyed dinner with music industry stalwart David Foster and his wife Katharine McPheewhen, lapping up the California sunshine by dining outside, according to reports. Meghan also popped into the lavish restaurant last year for a bite to eat. A waiter from the restaurant confirmed to Business Insider that Meghan and Harry were “totally normal” during their visit in 2020.

The menu of the steakhouse offers a range of dining options at eyewatering prices, with a porterhouse steak setting you back $175 (£139.79). Given a side of simple sauteed mushrooms costs whopping $20 (£15.72), the prices are certainly fit for royalty and A-list celebrities alike.

Tracey Robbins, who dined with Meghan and Harry as they marked their milestone anniversary, was also one of the lucky people who were given a first look at Meghan’s new product range from her venture American Riviera Orchard. Meghan sent out baskets featuring her strawberry jams – accompanied by stunning lemon arrangements – that were a limited edition, with each jar marked with a number out of 50. Tracey quickly posted the luxurious treat on Instagram in support of her friend.

The two couples were also seen together in Jamaica where they attended the premiere of One Love – a movie telling the story of iconic artist Bob Marley’s life. It has been reported by the Daily Mail that the Sussexes’ invite to the glitzy event came from movie executive Brian.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle cuddled and held hands after they jetted off to the Caribbean to celebrate the wedding of one his closest friends yesterday.

Wearing a navy blue suit and yellow corsage, Harry looked every bit the handsome Prince as he undertook his official usher duties at the ceremony in Montego Bay.

Miss Markle made the most of the Caribbean sunshine, sporting a flowery dress and sunglasses as she accompanied her beau at the wedding of Tom ‘Skippy’ Inskip with flame-haired literary agent the Hon Lara Hughes-Young.

Later in the evening, the prince took his jacket and tie off and relaxed as he sat next to Miss Markle.

The famous actress put her arm around the fifth in line to the throne as they were seen laughing and holding hands at the table.

Harry flew out from Gatwick to Montego Bay on Wednesday and is staying at one of the most luxurious resorts on the coast.

Miss Markle, 35, flew in separately from her Toronto home later the same day.

The order of service showed Prince Harry was one of 14 ushers, with Tom Faber as the best man.

His name was written as Harry Wales, a title that he still uses for military purposes.

One friend said: ‘This the first time that she and Harry have socialised so openly as a couple and is a significant step up in their relationship.

‘Make no mistake, he is heads over heels about her. This one could go all the way.’

Ironically divorcee Miss Markle married her former husband, producer Trevor Engleson, in Jamaica in 2011.

MEGHAN MARKLE WAS BACK IN JAMAICA TO CELEBRATE ANOTHER WEDDING

In September 2011, Meghan Markle married Trevor Engelson in Jamaica.

The pair tied the knot at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios in front of about 100 guests.

The couple started dating each other in 2004 but split up two years after getting married.

Earlier this year, photographs emerged which were taken at the ceremony and showed the Suits actress taking part in a wheelbarrow race while wearing a yellow bikini.

The pair tied the knot at after dating for seven years, but split just two years later.

Harry, 32, and ‘party animal’ Mr Inskip, 30, have been friends since they were pupils at Eton together and are utterly inseparable.

When the prince disgraced himself playing naked pool in Las Vegas, Mr Inskip was by his side. And when the royal jumped into a nightclub swimming pool in Croatia fully clothed in 2011, his close friend was there with him too.

Mr Inskip, who was once photographed driving a convertible sports car naked in the US, his modesty only preserved by the steering wheel, was also with Harry when he was seen inhaling ‘hippy crack’, otherwise known as laughing gas, at a party in 2010.

His father, Owen Inskip, was a field master of Prince Charles’s favourite hunt, The Beaufort.

The groom and his bride, the daughter of Lord St Helens, have hired out the super exclusive Round Hill Hotel and Villas, a private 110-acre plantation style resort first built as a colony of cottages for the rich, famous and glamorous of the 1950s.

Tom Inskip and Prince Harry have been friends since meeting when they both attended Eton College in Berkshire.

Mr Inskip, known as ‘Skippy’, was often photographed by Harry’s side when the pair went on holiday together.

In the summer of 2011, Skippy and Harry were pictured partying on the island of Hvar, off the coast of Croatia.

During that trip, the prince jumped into a swimming pool fully-clothed.

Meanwhile, Skippy was with Harry when photographs appeared to show the prince in a pool in Las Vegas without any clothes on.

Mr Inskip, who is two years younger than Harry, was also with him when the prince was spotted inhaling laughing gas at a party in 2010.

Meanwhile, the pair went on a skiing trip to Verbier, Switzerland, and they were reportedly seen throwing snowballs at passers-by when they on a balcony together.

And after their long history, Harry was given the important role of being an usher during Skippy’s wedding in Jamaica.

It boasts £1,600-a-night shore-side pool villas, one of which is believed to have been snapped up by Harry and Miss Markle, which are decorated in cool, Caribbean shades, with open-air living spaces, outdoor showers and locally handcrafted furniture.

A description on its website describes the hotel and villas as being ‘steeped in rich history’ and that it boasts ‘timeless elegance and true understated luxury’.

It reads: ‘Round Hill welcomes you with genuine Jamaican hospitality while captivating you at every turn.

‘We invite you to our 110-acre private enclave of luxury villas, boutique oceanfront rooms, award-winning seaside dining and an exquisite spa that lies nestled in a lush tropical hillside along a private bay of turquoise waters.

‘Here, guests become family, paradise is found, and experiences become lasting memories.’

ROUND HILL HOTEL AND VILLAS: JAMAICA’S CELEBRITY MAGNET

The bride and groom have hired out the super exclusive Round Hill Hotel and Villas to celebrate their wedding.

The private 110-acre resort was first built as a colony of cottages for the rich and famous during the 1950s.

John F. Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline spent their honeymoon there, while other celebrities including Bob Hope, Paul Newman and Ralph Lauren have also visited.

English author Ian Fleming was also a frequent guest at the resort during his time on the Caribbean island.

The hotel boasts 36 oceanfront guestrooms designed by Ralph Lauren as well as 27 private, luxury Jamaica villas.

Its guestrooms overlook Round Hill Bay and snorkeling reef and are just yards away from the hotel’s infinity pool.

The designer rooms have plantation-shuttered windows and balconies, while the bathrooms have walk-in showers and soaking tubs.

A variety of villas are on offer, which range from two to six bedrooms and can come with private pools and separate guest houses.

Elsewhere the resort’s £500-a-night hotel suites are designed by Ralph Lauren, while facilities include a top-class spa, tennis courts and infinity pool, all nestled in carefully-tended tropical gardens.

The Prince and Miss Markle, who stars in the hit US legal drama series Suits, have been dating since last summer and despite living on different continents, the relationship has quickly taken off.

She spent the first two months of this year staying with Harry at Kensington Palace, where he lives in ‘modest’ Nottingham Cottage, before returning to Toronto where she is currently based for work commitments and to be united with her two beloved rescue dogs.

Miss Markle is due to start filming again next month but sources say there is talk that she will asked to be written out of show after completing her commitments in order to concentrate on her relationship with the Queen’s grandson.
