Victoria and David Beckham are angry with fashion house Ralph Lauren for using pictures of their sons to promote its Wimbledon blazers.
Brooklyn, 8, and Romeo, 4, were snapped wearing the designer jackets at the christening of Geri Halliwell's daughter Bluebell on April 22.
Ralph Lauren quickly crafted a press release using the paparazzi pictures to promote its Wimbledon children's clothing line without the couple's consent.
"Victoria and David are fiercely protective of their three sons and went apoplectic when they discovered what Ralph Lauren had done" a family insider told The Mirror newspaper.
"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 later issued a statement discouraging papers to use the photos and apologised to the Beckhams.
