Yes it is their money, and the father of the bride, who probably paid for the whole blinged up tasteless display has far more more money than the Beckhams. I'm sure they all give to charity although can't help thinking DB's ambassadorial role in the up and coming Qatar World Cup indicates a lack of conscience, after all when you are as rich as him surely, in spite of whatever the fee is, to be associated with a project so tarnished in the shameful way this one is, in the way the immigrant labour is treated leaves a question mark hanging.
I can never understand why the Beckhams have continually exposed their children to the public eye from the time they were born and through their childhood when the children could hardly have made an informed choice about that, even if they court publicity now as in the case of their first born, but then that's the life he has always known, in his world it's normal.
Brooklyn Beckham isn't that different from other people's kids who haven't yet found their way in the world, except he does it with huge amounts of money. He won't be the first who has dropped out of college, or did a bit of this and that which hasn't amounted to much. His problem is he is doing under a tremendous glare of publicity, so his failures are highlighted and magnified. He is known as rich kid, who has had an expensive education not put it to any use and merely rides on his parents' coat tails. Growing up is often a learning curve, this boy is known because his parents are famous but also for his complete lack of talent. Who gets a book deal at 18 or thereabouts, for photography which was unanimously panned for the discernible lack of talent it displayed. When he drops out of the prestigious art college in NY after first year, he then gets an apprenticeship to a famous photographer,(shame on him for not giving it to some kid with talent) it was reported that he didn't know the very basics and had to be shown everything. He continually up loads photographs showing off his umpteen tattoos or sucking the face off Nicola Peltz whilst lounging around in their umpteen roomed million dollar mansion. Of late apparently he has gone from aspiring photographer to aspiring chef, but similar to getting the apprenticeship with top photographer, he goes one better and gets a programme which costs something in the region of $100,000 to make all to show him ineptly assembling a sandwich. No coming up the hard way for young Beckham slaving away in a hot kitchen for hours on end on minimum wage. All in all it just makes him come across as some pampered rich idiot with equally indulgent idiot parents. I can't understand their rationale in exposing their kids like they do, and with their eldest looking more foolish by the day, he could have grown up normally and done daft things as young people often do, but without the eyes of the world upon him. The younger brothers seem to be shaping up in the same way. Maybe Harper will pull something out of the hat to justify the expensive education!
I agree about McCartney I even remember him saying that he told his children when they were teenagers "you're not too special to wait on tables" and before they emerged as adults their upbringing was completely private as it should be.
