Beckhams are 'furious' with fashion house

David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly furious with Ralph Lauren after the fashion house used pictures of their sons for publicity without asking them.

A recent Ralph Lauren press release boasted that eight-year-old Brooklyn and four-year-old Romeo had worn Ralph Lauren blazers to the christening of Geri Halliwell's daughter Bluebell Madonna. The press release was accompanied by paparazzi photographs of the children.

A source told The Mirror: "Victoria and David are fiercely protective of their sons and went apoplectic when they discovered what Ralph Lauren had done.

"They couldn't believe that Ralph Lauren seemed to be going out of its way to encourage people to use pictures of their children"

Ralph Lauren have apologised to the Beckham family and issued a statement urging newspapers not to use the photographs.
