“Cruz Beckham Camps at Glastonbury” Despite Fame, Cruz Roughs It at Festival
Cruz Beckham, the youngest son of millionaire parents David and Victoria Beckham, has shown he’s not above roughing it, as he was seen camping in a modest £60 tent at Glastonbury, right next to the loos.
Despite his privileged background, Cruz appeared to shun any airs and graces associated with his famous lineage, opting for basic accommodation while attending the iconic festival. On Sunday, June 30, before making his way home, the budding musician was spotted packing up his gear, including his guitar. Cruz caught the attention of festival-goers when he was denied entry to a VIP camping area frequented by celebrities like Cara Delevingne, Noel Gallagher, and Anya Taylor-Joy due to lacking the necessary wristband. In stark contrast to Princess Beatrice, Cruz was seen shouldering his own gear as he left his budget-friendly pitch, demonstrating a down-to-earth attitude.
Having recently parted ways with his management team TaP, Cruz is now venturing into rock music, aligning himself with C3, whose roster includes bands such as 30 Seconds to Mars and Modest Mouse. A music insider revealed to The Sun: “Cruz is an obsessive guitarist, always posting stuff on Instagram of him strumming.
He has signed up with C3, which manages acts including 30 Seconds to Mars and Modest Mouse. TaP’s expertise was with more pop acts, so he decided to work with a company more in line with where his music is evolving.” They added, “Cruz is working with producers in the studio and refining his sound. Playing live is going to be a big part of the rollout of his music, and Cruz and his new team want to make sure it’s perfect before he actually launches.”
Meanwhile, while Cruz was soaking up the festival vibes at Worthy Farm, his dad David found himself in a potentially awkward situation with Katherine Jenkins at Wimbledon. The football legend was seated just in front of Jenkins, and the pair had not crossed paths since David allegedly made derogatory comments about her OBE award, which she received in 2014.
In leaked emails, David reportedly asked a member of his team: “For what? Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops. F***ing joke.”
Katherine later expressed that his words were hurtful and claimed she had neither reached out to him nor received an apology. This might explain why David maintained his “intense gaze” forward, possibly to avoid photographers capturing any reaction. Commenting on the potentially awkward encounter on July 1, body language expert Judi James told the Mirror: “This could potentially have been an awkward moment thanks to a previous exchange about Katherine’s OBE, but it’s not Beckham’s first rodeo when it comes to avoiding giving the press any meaningful-looking shots. So he seems to keep his intense gaze pointing forward as the singer enjoys the tennis from the row behind.”
James added, “Beckham had the likes of David Attenborough and even his own mum to occupy his time and attention from a forward-facing position here, and even though he was seen swiveling round to greet Jamie Cullum in the row behind, there’s no apparent record of him doing the same to Katherine.”
