Brooklyn Beckham faces brutal comparison to Meghan Markle as fans tell him 'get a job'

Brooklyn Beckham's fans have criticised him harshly as he announced his latest career venture. The 26-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham took to Instagram to share a clip of himself making some fresh homemade strawberry jam.

In the step-by-step video, Brookyln prepared the strawberries, cooked them, and then served up the finished product on a slice of sourdough bread before jarring up the rest. He handed a piece to a woman, who stayed out of shot, but cut the film before he had a taste for himself. He captioned the clip with two simple words: "Strawberry jam x". Despite the sweet treat looking absolutely delicious, the foodie was hit with harsh criticism - with some fans comparing him to Meghan Markle while others demanded that he "get a job". Referring to Meghan's jam that she sells through her As Ever business, one Instagram follower wrote: "First Meghan, now you! What's the obsession with strawberry jam? Anyone can make it... [eyeroll emoji]".

Another quipped: "The new Meghan Markle," followed by three crying laughing emojis. One more person fumed: "Get a proper job that pays your lifestyle!"

However, some fans quickly jumped to Brooklyn's defense. "All the trolls out in full force again with totally boring and irrelevant comments. Just spreading the hate and spite," one said.

The 26-year-old regularly shares his cooking skills online and recently flew back to the UK for one very special dish. He teamed up with renowned chef Michel Roux Jr. in the Wigmore restaurant kitchen at the Langham Hotel.

During the clip, shared on Instagram, Brooklyn insisted the meal was the only thing he would fly back to the UK for - as he snubbed his famous parents completely.

The young Beckham and his family were last photographed together on Boxing Day 2024, and he has seemingly not spent any time with them in the UK since then.

Brooklyn has yet to address his and Peltz's drama with his family, which first made headlines in April with reports that Brooklyn and his brother Romeo Beckham were at odds. The couple were then notably absent from David's 50th birthday.
