Brooklyn Beckham is set to donate all the proceeds from his forthcoming photography exhibition to the Grenfell Tower fire victim fund.

The eldest of the Beckham brood is expected to give everything he makes from the sale of 24 photos at Christie’s to the children affected by the horrific incident.

According to reports, the 18-year-old has been ‘deeply affected’ by the tragedy, in which at least 79 people lost their lives.

“Brooklyn and his brothers went to volunteer the day after and he found it very, very upsetting,” a source told Mail on Sunday.

“He wants to do more to help so thought it would be a fitting idea to give the proceeds to the kids who have been so sadly affected.”

The Beckham boys all volunteered to help in the aftermath of the June 14 fire, which tore through the west London tower block.

Alongside stars including Rita Ora and Adele, they helped sort clothing and food donations to aid those who have now found themselves without a home.

The Christie’s exhibition, which opens with a private view on Tuesday night, has been organised to help promote the release of Beckham's debut photography book, What I See.

Images from the book drew ridicule on social media when they were leaked last week, thanks to their seemingly simplistic captions.

“What I See is a book for teenagers, by a teenager, which gives Brooklyn's fans broader insight into his world seen through his unique and creative perspective,” Random House’s Francesca Dow told the Independent.

“Teenagers lives are filled with the visual image and we know Brooklyn's photos resonate with his huge young following, who avidly follow his life through his photography.

“We are proud to bring these images together in a book for a young generation for the first time.”
