Victoria Beckham basked in the sun in a swimsuit as she and her husband David continued to enjoy their summer break aboard their £16 million superyacht.

The Spice Girl, 51, and former footballer, 50, were spotted unwinding during a relaxing afternoon on deck in Capri on Wednesday.

Lounging side by side during their Italian getaway in the scenic Mediterranean, David seemed preoccupied by his choice of summer reading, which was The Crash, a psychological thriller by Frieda McFadden.

Meanwhile Victoria sunbathed in a chic black swimsuit and protected her face from the rays with a huge straw hat as she listened to music or audio books through her Apple earphones.

The loved-up couple were seen chatting as they both relaxed on sunbeds, before David took time out to pensively look out over the sea.

He then went shirtless and headed for a dip in the sea, showing off his muscular physique as he cooled off from the excessive Italian heat.

Their yacht trip comes amid the ongoing rift between the Beckham clan and eldest son Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Beckham recently made another thinly veiled jibe at his family during a recent video with renowned chef Michel Roux Jr. as the Beckham feud rumbles on.

The Beckhams are said to no longer be on speaking terms with Brooklyn, 26, and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30, who recently renewed their vows without inviting the Beckham family.

David and Victoria are currently away with three of their four children, Romeo, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, as well as Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29 – while their son Brooklyn remains away amid their ongoing feud.

During a clip shared to his Instagram page, Brooklyn couldn’t resist taking a swipe at his estranged family as he insisted the meal was the only thing he’d fly back for. 

Brooklyn and his family were last pictured together on Boxing Day last year, and he has seemingly not spent any time with them in the UK since then.

He has only jetted back to his home country for work commitments since, previously to shoot a Moncler advert with his wife Nicola.

At the start of the advert, Roux says: ‘We are always looking for new dishes here at the Wigmore, but based on great classics. So gammon, egg and chips is a great British classic.’

Brooklyn doesn’t specify when he is referring to, but does wistfully say: ‘I used to this every Tuesday night. I love gammon. You can’t go wrong with gammon, egg and chips.’

While his mother has famously eaten largely the same meal of steamed fish and vegetables for decades, his father is a dab hand in the kitchen, so the gammon and chips may be something he whipped up for the children.

Once the finished dish was revealed, Roux claimed that it would be a ‘hot seller’ and had no doubt that it would be ‘flying out of the kitchen’.

Brooklyn then pointedly quipped: ‘I’m definitely going to just come to London to have that’, which seemed like a dig at his estranged family.

The Beckhams have been snubbed by Brooklyn and his wife Nicola after they said ‘I do’ for a second time on August 2 in Westchester County in front of her family, with the Beckham clan notably absent, having not been informed of the event.

Further heartache has come in the form of a leak of Brooklyn’s speech, in which he reportedly opened up on his love for the Peltz family, as well as speaking ‘movingly’ of his wife in front of the 200 guests.

A source told The Mirror: ‘He spoke from the heart – and at the centre of his heart is Nicola whom he loves very dearly, but also the Peltz family who have really stuck by his side. He wanted to recognise them all, and was determined to do them all justice.’

News of the ‘heartfelt tribute’ to billionaire Nelson Peltz, 83, and wife Claudia, 70, will no doubt add to the pain of the Beckham family amid their estrangement from Brooklyn, since it is said that no such tribute was given for his own parents.

Brooklyn is reportedly ‘heartbroken’ over the way his wife Nicola is being ‘painted as a viper’ within their ongoing family feud.

Billionaire heiress Nicola has previously been accused of ‘isolating’ Brooklyn from not only his family, but his friends too.

New sources allege Brooklyn is not being held from making his own decisions and is ‘devastated’ over the way his wife is being portrayed.

A source told The Mirror: ‘It’s so rooted in misogyny that all of the heat for his parents not being invited is on Nicola.

‘Everyone seems to forget that Brooklyn is an adult man and fully capable of speaking out. Nicola would have respected all that he chose.  It breaks Brooklyn’s heart to see his wife being painted as this vixen and viper.’
