Relations between the Beckhams broke down completely last summer that at one point, eldest son Brooklyn asked his parents to contact him only via his lawyers.
It can be revealed there was an exchange of legal letters between son and parents — or rather, between their respective legal teams at Schillings and Harbottle & Lewis.
Brooklyn said he didn’t want his parents to contact him, or to make public statements about him on social media.
There was no legal action between them – and no legal basis for the letter, which was simply a request.
But it followed what Brooklyn considered to be a series of ‘nasty’ briefings about his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham, including the suggestion that he was a ‘hostage’ being ‘controlled’ by his missus.
This week, publicists and friends on both sides refused to discuss the matter, still hoping that things will calm down and be resolved.

However one source said: ‘David was told to speak to them via Schillings. That was the only way for them to communicate.’
The ‘talk to my lawyers’ move might explain why Brooklyn opted to block his parents – and brothers Romeo and Cruz – on social media just before Christmas.
The family had been viewing and liking his cooking posts. And it was felt this was contrary to Brooklyn’s wish they would leave him and his wife alone.
The situation continues to pain them all. I’m told that Gordon Ramsay has been trying to cheer Victoria Beckham up, by telling her: ‘You’ve got one feud… But I’ve got the whole Top Trumps deck!’
Ramsay fell out with his alcoholic father (who abandoned him); his drug addict brother; and his wife’s father Chris (after discovering that he was taking loans from his company and had hacked his email).
Then his new son-in-law Adam Peaty fell out with his parents in the run-up to his wedding to Gordon’s daughter Holly.
But back to the Beckhams. A source told me before Christmas that the young couple found Instagram posts by Brooklyn’s parents upsetting and would wake up worrying what might have been posted about them overnight.
I was told: ‘It would be really in the holiday spirit if the Beckhams could just leave them alone for now.

‘Whether someone follows someone else on Insta shouldn’t be a story.
‘Nicola and Brooklyn haven’t been commenting. They just want peace.’
At the heart of the issue are the briefings over the summer which Nicola and Brooklyn believe were ordered by the Beckhams.
Brooklyn, 26, married actress Nicola, 30, in April 2022. News of the family falling out was broken in this column two months later.
Nicola was offended when Victoria promised to design her wedding dress, but failed to come up with the goods.
Then, on the wedding day, pop star Marc Anthony, a friend of the Beckhams, described Victoria as the most beautiful woman in the room.
Both sides attempted to build bridges, but the young couple didn’t attend David’s 50th birthday parties last summer.

One source said: ‘David was told to speak to them via Schillings. That was the only way for them to communicate’. Brooklyn blocked his family on social media last month
And in November, Brooklyn did not congratulate his father when he was knighted.
What now for the family? The feeling of Team Brooklyn is that a proper apology is needed, in order to reboot relations.
The senior Beckhams, still smarting from leaks about the wedding and what they believe were attacks on Victoria over a sustained period, would like both sides to draw a line and move on.
They would, I’m told, do anything to make up with their son, and just want to be in touch with him again. Hence the social media posts.
