David and Victoria BeckhamRalph Lauren has reportedly incurred the wrath of David and Victoria Beckham after the fashion house used unauthorised pictures of the couple’s eldest sons in a press release.

Brooklyn and Romeo were snapped wearing Ralph Lauren blazers at Bluebell Halliwell’s christening at the weekend and the fashion label emailed out a press release on Tuesday with the photos attached to advertise the kids’ suits.

An inside source told the Mirror: “Victoria and David are fiercely protective of their three sons and went apoplectic when they discovered what Ralph Lauren had done.”

“Neither of them gave their consent for this - as far as they were concerned they went to a friend’s private christening with their kids. It’s one thing if they are on the red carpet or at a showbiz bash, but this is just ridiculous - and totally irresponsible.”

“They couldn’t believe that Ralph Lauren seemed to be going out of its way to encourage people to use pictures of their children. It’s exploitative and was clearly done to boost sales of the clothes.

“It is upsetting for them as parents to constantly have to deal with photographers taking snaps of their kids - Romeo especially gets upset when the flashbulbs go off.”

The company sent out a second release yesterday explaining that the Beckhams had not given permission for the original photo circulation and with that, a Ralph Lauren spokesperson told the newspaper: “The issue has been resolved.”
