David Beckham says his ‘most important job is being a dad no matter what’ in Father’s Day post amid Brooklyn ‘feud’

DAVID Beckham, 50, has shared a heartfelt post to his four children, as fellow dads around the country celebrate Father’s Day. 

The soon-to-be knighted star took to social media to gush about his brood, while also thanking his wife Victoria, 51, for giving him the “important job”.

Sharing a collection of photos of his children and his own dad, Ted with his 81 million followers, he included a passionate message.

He wrote: “My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad… I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what…”

He continued: “Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad…

“Happy Father’s Day. I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.”

He also tagged Victoria, his dad and four kids – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven.

The post was quickly inundated with messages of support, which included comments from Romeo and Cruz.

Romeo replied: “Love you always 🤍🤍🤍🤍”. And Cruz added: “You mean the world to us and inspire us every single day dad I love you.”

David’s mum Sandra also replied, writing: “You are one special dad ❤ and that makes me soso proud 🥰 x”

Noticeably missing from the comments underneath was eldest son Brooklyn, who as yet is still to make a public post to his dad.

It’s been an emotional few days for David as it was revealed on Friday that he set to become Sir David.

The exciting achievement comes after his 26-year-old Brooklyn, who lives in LA with wife Nicola Peltz, 30, was revealed to have no desire to speak to his parents or siblings after only learning about his dad’s knighthood in the press, an insider told Page Six.

The source said: “Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he’s not responding to those that try to connect.”

However, a source close to Brooklyn denied this and said, “this seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn’s father.”

Usually, the set costs $270.

But for now, it’s available for $88.

That’s 67% off – a savings of $182.

SET PIECE

The set is being sold under the Tangkula brand name.

The Tangkula 3 Pieces Patio Set includes two chairs and a small table.

They’re made from plastic rattan, giving the chairs a woven, wicker-like feel.

Both chairs come with a cushion, and the rattan table comes with a glass top.

Each chair has a weight capacity of 350 pounds.

The listing on Target’s website described the set as “ideal for your patio, front porch, poolside, yard or any other outdoor spaces.”

The set can be delivered, but that means some assembly is required.

SHOPPERS REACT

The set has only eight reviews on Target’s website, but they are all positive.

“Purchased this set while on sale too, a steal for 3 pieces of furniture,” one shopper said.

They did note one concern.

“I only wish the backs on the chairs were about 2-3 inches taller but not a big deal.” they said.

Others also praised the price point.

“It was the best price for the quality, and it was pretty much exactly what I wanted,” one said.

MORE DEALS

The U.S. Sun has tracked several recent deals consumers can check out.

Anyone still looking for a Father’s Day gift may be in luck.

Walmart is selling an outdoor cooking set for just $25.

Dollar Tree is also selling some affordable last-minute gifts.

I know the exact moment Prince Harry had second thoughts about how he’s treated the King & why he looks so sad, says pro

PRINCE Harry had an exact moment of having “second thoughts” about how he’s treated his cancer-stricken father King Charles, according to royal experts. 

The Duke of Sussex, 40, has had a rollercoaster few years since ditching royal duties and relocating to California with Meghan Markle, 43.

After criticising his family in his bombshell Spare memoir and Netflix documentary, experts have claimed things came to a head following his court case. 

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, legendary royal photographer Arthur Edwards claimed: “He’s probably just still feeding the chickens. 

“I don’t know what he does every day. He probably takes the kids to the park and stuff like that.

“But he doesn’t seem to be having a real role now.”

Arthur claimed that Prince Harry may have had a moment of second guessing his decisions in his bombshell BBC interview he did in May following losing his security court case. 

The royal photographer said: “He looked so sad in that, and so really down and not upbeat like he was normally.

“I feel somehow he’s having probably second thoughts. Maybe this is not such a great idea.”

News.com.au’s Royal Correspondent Bronte Coy agreed on the show, and shared: “I thought the same. That was only a month ago.

“For better or worse, Meghan’s forging ahead with her path. But seeing Harry look exactly as you say, looking so defeated. 

“But from that interview and the things he was saying, it just appears he seems quite stuck.”

ITV‘s Royal Editor Chris Ship argued that if Prince Harry does want to reconcile with his father, as he stated in the BBC chat, the video was “exactly the thing not to do.”

He explained: “Because now, you know, they can’t share anything private with him because they’re worried it will just end up in the public realm.”

Arthur stated that if Prince Harry had said “sorry Pop, I do want to see you”, it “might have had a difference.”

However, the royal photographer did say that his BBC plea was “coming from his heart.”

He added: “I thought he looked so sad, you know, so sad. 

“Maybe because he’d just lost half a million, one and a half million quid, maybe that’s what made him sad.”

HARRY’S BOMBSHELL CHAT

The Royal gave an extraordinary interview after losing his appeal against the decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security.

A tragic revelation in the bombshell interview was when Prince Harry revealed that his father, King Charles, won’t speak to him.

Harry said when making the emotional admission: “He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff.”

Harry and William are also said to be barely on speaking terms.

William was reportedly “blindsided” by Harry’s decision to ditch his duties to live in his Montecito mansion with Meghan and the pair have yet to make amends.

Another blow to the Royal relationships struck when Harry released his memoir Spare in 2023.

Harry didn’t hold back in the controversial book which caused a deeper chasm between him and his brother.

In the bombshell memoir, he detailed Megxit and how the Royal family brand Meghan “difficult” and “rude.”

He slammed Queen Camilla as a villain and was highly criticised for outing his family for cash.

“There have been so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family,” he added.

“This current situation – ongoing for 5 years – is the sticking point.

“Of course some members of my family will never forgive me for writing the book, for lots of things.”

He says the future of him, his family, and their relationship with the UK will depend on King Charles.

Keen for the family to make up, the Duke says whether a reconciliation is on the cards will ultimately be up to his father, saying: “It’s in his hands.”

He added: “I have no idea how much longer my father has – he is no longer speaking to me – but it would be nice to reconcile.

“It would be nice to have that reconciliation part now. If they don’t want that, that’s entirely up to them.”

Why did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle step back as senior working royals?

PRINCE Harry has always wanted out of the Royal Family and the repercussions will be felt for years, an expert has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex has lived in California with his wife Meghan Markle since 2020 after they dramatically quit their jobs as working royals and moved across the pond.

Katie Nicholl, who is Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent, told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show that Megxit did not come as a surprise to her.

Speaking to The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the commentator explained: “Anyone who knows Harry is aware he’s always wanted a way out of the Royal Family.

“He’s said multiple times on the record that he wished he’d never been born a prince.

“I think he really is living the life he wants to now. It’s very, very sad that it’s played out the way it has.”

In a statement made on the Sussexes’ Instagram account as they stepped back in 2020, the pair wrote: “After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.

“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.

“It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.

“We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.

“This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”

Heartbreaking tributes to mum-of-four killed in tragic tandem sky dive jump at Devon airfield

Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed that families of the skydivers had been informed and investigations into the incident were underway.

Now, heartfelt tributes have poured in for two people including mum-of-four Belinda Taylor.

Her eldest son Connor Bowles told DevonLive: “On Friday, June 13, our family lost our mum Belinda Taylor.

“She was a mother of four children, three adult boys and one teenage girl, and a grandmother to two young children.

“She was a selfless woman who wanted only the best for others and especially her loved ones. She will be deeply missed and will leave an everlasting impression on all those she has met in life.

“We as a family would like to ask for peace and privacy during this time whilst we grieve our loss and remember our mum as we should do.”

Cops asked anyone with information on the tragedy to get in touch.

Meanwhile, the partner of one of the skydivers wrote: “I want answers. Today, they took my world away.”

He added: “I miss you so much, you were my best friend, thank you for everything you (have) done for me. From making my children feel at home to putting up with my mess.

“I’m so lost without you. There’s just so much that I don’t have the words to express it. I feel so lost I don’t know where home is without you.”

British Skydiving Chief executive Robert Gibson confirmed that a probe had been launched and his organisation was assisting authorities.

In a statement he said: “Today British Skydiving has been notified of a tragic accident in which two jumpers lost their lives.

“Our deepest condolences go to their families, friends and the entire skydiving community.

“A British Skydiving Board of Inquiry will investigate the accident.

“Once complete, a report will be submitted to the coroner, the police, the CAA, the British Skydiving Safety & Training Committee (STC) and any other relevant authorities.

“No further details will be provided at this time. We respectfully ask for privacy for all those affected at this difficult time.”

Local charity Devon in Sight told how it had suspended its upcoming skydiving events while the investigation was ongoing.

CEO Grahame Flynn said: “Having undertaken two skydive challenges in 2018 and 2022 I know how meticulous the team at Skydive Buzz are in their training.

“In view of this tragic news our events planned for Saturday 21st June, Wednesday 25th June and Saturday 5th July are suspended pending investigation.

“Our Jump for Sight Challenges have raised significant funds for our work over the years.

“At this time our thoughts are with the instructor and student who lost their lives and their families, friends and colleagues.”

Dunkeswell Aerodrome claims to have the ‘highest tandem skydive in the UK’ – with jumps ranging from 7,000, 10,000, and 15,000 feet.

It is a popular venue for parachuting, taking place on Wednesdays to Sundays and Bank Holidays almost all year round.

Spectators are able to watch jumpers from the airfield’s Aviator coffee bar and restaurant.

At 839 feet above sea level, Dunkeswell is the UK’s highest licenced airfield.

Diletta Leotta steals show in daring red dress before changing into glamorous white outfit for Club World Cup opener

DILETTA LEOTTA stole the show as she soaked in some sun ahead of the Club World Cup.

The stunning Dazn presenter will be a regular sight on viewers’ screens as the broadcaster gears up to televise the new-look tournament.

The opening game of the competition ended in a 0-0 draw between the USA‘s Inter Miami and Egypt’s Al Ahly FC in the early hours of this morning – or last night local time.

Among those at the Hard Rock Stadium watching on was Leotta.

She had spent the day earlier on relaxing in the sun in a dazzling red outfit.

For the match later on, the Italian presenter changed into a white outfit complete with shining gold buttons and a chain.

Leotta, who is married to ex-Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius after they tied the knot in a secret ceremony last year, was also seen interviewing Fifa president Gianni Infantino before the game.

The 33-year-old shared videos of the curtain raiser to her Instagram story for her 9.2 million followers to see.

She is often seen posting striking pics of her glamorous modelling side gig.

Leotta recently shared some photos of her and Karius – who welcomed their first child, Aria, in 2023 – to her Instagram story of them on holiday together.

After that she was seen in attendance at the French Open.

Leotta was present at the Club World Cup last year, but fans were baffled over a strange joke made by Alessandro Del Piero.

DAZN have the main broadcast rights to the tournament and will host every match live across the tournament.

Channel 5 also have rights to air 23 matches free-to-air in the UK.

Gary Lineker has now agreed a deal with DAZN after stepping down as presenter from BBC’s Match of the Day that will see his The Rest Is Football Podcast broadcast highlights of the Club World Cup.

English interest in the tournament starts with Chelsea facing Los Angeles FC tomorrow evening and Manchester City playing Wydad AC on Wednesday.
