David and Victoria Beckham ordered to school's officials to blank their son from a public photo, arguing that his face has to remain unknown.
Brooklyn, 6, the Beckhams' eldest son, who goes to exclusive Runnymede College in Madrid, Spain, was erased from all the photos made for a school album, excepting copies going to the family.
A public relations advisor Jose Nguyen tells British newspaper The Mail On Sunday: "Beckham told the headmaster that he did not want other people to see his son's face and I instructed people to abide by those wishes."
