Brooklyn Beckham's scathing attack on his parents has drawn comparisons to a very different royal row - the one between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and their family, particularly Prince William.
The 20-year-old social media mogul went ballistic with an Instagram post that read: "Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed."
This tirade has drawn eerie similarities with Harry's own accounts of his royal family drama. In his bombshell memoir Spare, Prince Harry wrote: "I was born into this position. I inherited the risk. So that was a shock to me. That was what completely changed the whole plan."
In fact, Brooklyn Beckham's own words on social media echo Harry's sentiments about being at the mercy of his family's "narratives" - a phrase he used repeatedly in his post.
Harry argued with Prince William over Meghan multiple times, including over suggestions she mistreated staff, according to Spare.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn Beckham accused his parents of excluding him from family gatherings and refusing to see him after his wedding, with Nicola Peltz. His own account echoes Harry's experiences of being turned down by Queen Elizabeth II in January 2020 - an incident the royal even joked about internally among palace staff as "Stockholm syndrome."
But while Harry's narrative has been that of Meghan controlling him, Brooklyn Beckham has a different take on things.
"the narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards," he wrote. "I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life."

Brooklyn's parents are basically the royals of chaos - always playing the press card to control their kids' narratives 
and now his son is all about being done with it 
I'm not sure what's more surprising - the fact that Brooklyn Beckham is going through all this drama or that his parents are being super controlling 
... like, how old is he 20 and they're still trying to micromanage him? It sounds like Harry and Meghan had their own issues with the royal family, but at least Prince Harry's story has been more about Meghan supposedly controlling him. Brooklyn's take on things seems a bit different... it's like, his parents are the ones in control all along 
! I mean, his parents, David and Victoria, can be super controlling (imo) 
, but it's interesting to see him speak out about being excluded from family gatherings and all that drama. I've been saying for ages that social media can be a great platform for celebs to share their thoughts & feelings... and Brooklyn is totally owning it 
! It's funny how his post echoes Harry's sentiments, but with a twist - instead of Meghan controlling him, Brooklyn says he's been controlled by his parents 
. I'm curious to see how this whole thing plays out... will Brooklyn's parents respond? 
they're like, mirror mirrors on the wall who's the most dramatic royal of all? meanwhile brooklyn beckham is just over here saying his parents are the real villains and i'm not buying it 
The way he was controlled by his family, forced into a narrative that wasn't even his own... it's wild. But here's the thing: Brooklyn Beckham is taking it a step further and saying that *he* has been controlled by *his parents*. That takes some serious courage.
The way he broke down the whole "narrative" thing was so clever too. I mean, who knew social media could be used to make such a compelling point?! 
that's wild considering how we all know they're super protective of him as the son of david beckham
