David and Victoria Beckham escaped to the French Riviera for their annual summer getaway, this year aboard a lavish yacht, but the absence of their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, was impossible to ignore.
The famous couple was spotted enjoying the Mediterranean sun alongside their younger children, Romeo and Harper, during a luxurious family day off the coast of Saint-Tropez.
While Victoria stunned in a satin yellow dress paired with a matching straw hat, David was seen embracing his 14-year-old daughter Harper as they boarded a speedboat to head to shore. Meanwhile, Romeo was seen jet skiing across the water.

Victoria was seen in full fashion mode, relaxing in a blush pink co-ord while sipping a cold drink. The couple’s stylish escape was hosted aboard a yacht significantly more extravagant than the one Beckham purchased in 2022.

“David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly,” a source shared with the Daily Mail.

Romeo, however, appeared to send a subtle message on social media last week. “Appreciate the people that love you. Life’s too short not to.” The quote, which many interpreted as a direct nod to his brother, only added to speculation that the Beckham siblings are taking sides.
