For such a front page news, glam couple — the Tatler convo is down-to-earth and family-centric. If you want a five-minute getaway where you read nothing but positivity and love — no trashing of others and also surprisingly not egocentric either — the Nicola Peltz Beckham interview is for you.

Speaking about growing up one of eight children in a very successful family who didn’t inherit wealth, Mrs. Beckham reflects that she also felt supported in her choices: “ ‘My dad always says, “I don’t care what you do in life, as long as you are fully committed and you work.”’

Dad was a Trump supporter, including hosting a re-election fundraiser for Donald Trump in February 2020 at his Florida home. Neither Nicola or her mother Claudia Heffner Peltz were supportive of the event and didn’t attend. The senior Mr. Peltz broke with Trump on January 5, 2021.

Lines of communication in the Peltz family seem to operate on an open and non-judgmental channel. How refreshing.

Much has been made of the newlyweds complete adoration of each other — which seems somehow to spring from their mutual upbringings, as well as their own personalities. British headlines suggesting that Nicola “hit out” at her in-laws David and Victoria Beckham over her husband’s desire to please them are just typical British clickbait. The young bride has nothing to say about the British press — nor is she asked about them.

Pletz Beckham does say that her husband Brooklyn seems to have found his calling in the kitchen. “You can tell that when Brooklyn’s in the kitchen he’s in heaven,” she says. Yes, Brooklyn felt “a lot of pressure to please people with his career and he didn’t love it.: He played football in Arsenal’s youth team, but he was dropped by the club around the time of his 16th birthday.

The younger Beckham has tried his hand at photography, including an internship with Rankin, a Tatler fashion shoot in June 2019, and the publication of ‘What I See’, a 2017 book featuring 300 of Brooklyn’s ‘personal photographs’.

The pandemic put Brooklyn at home in the kitchen and he launched ‘Cookin’ with Brooklyn’ on Facebook Watch. ‘Ever since the pandemic, all he’s wanted to talk about is being in the kitchen, so I just started filming him one day. I said, ‘This is what you love.”’

You get the drift. The interview could be Town & Country 1966. For just one moment, enjoy it. These moments are few and far between these days.

I have no knowledge of Nicola Peltz Beckham, but from the little AOC has observed, she is not in the least a rich daughter, spoiled brat, preoccupied with her own self-reflection person. How refreshing. ~ Anne
