Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz are rumoured to have attended Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s home in Montecito, California last week amid ongoing family drama
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz were rumoured guests at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s home last week, amid whispers of a Beckham family feud.
The two power couples are believed to have hit it off, finding common ground in their own experiences of navigating high-profile family dynamics.
Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, were noticeably absent from his dad David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash earlier this month, fuelling speculation of tension within the famous family. A source revealed to the Mirror that there’s currently “distance” between Brooklyn and his parents.
It’s now alleged that Prince Harry and Meghan are “secretly supporting” Brooklyn and Nicola, with the couples bonding over their shared experiences of dealing with family rifts.
Interestingly, Prince Harry and David Beckham were once friends, but their relationship reportedly turned sour after alleged leaking of stories.
Brooklyn and Nicola were reportedly invited to Prince Harry and Meghan’s lavish Montecito mansion last week, just days after David’s birthday festivities.
According to The Sun, the “dinner” was arranged prior to the apparent Beckham family fallout, however the timing has been described as a “welcome coincidence”. Nonetheless, the two couples reportedly discovered they had “found a lot of common ground,”, with Prince Harry and Meghan having faced their own share of family tensions over the years.
The Sun added that at the gathering, it is believed both couples exchanged contact details. However, whether they’ve stayed in touch since then remains unknown.
An insider revealed to the outlet an “unexpected invite” was extended to Brooklyn and Nicola who felt “pretty battle-wounded,” yet found the invitation “gratefully received.” The insider mentioned that Prince Harry and Meghan were extremely “very kind” and “empathetic” towards their guests.
The insider disclosed: “Harry was fully aware of the situation and offered Brooklyn his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar.”
They continued: “Nicola and Meghan also had a bit of a ‘deep [and] meaningful’ [chat] as obviously both women have been positioned in the media as home-wreckers – the women to tear apart their husbands’ families.”
Former actress Meghan apparently expressed “a lot of sympathy” for Nicola, an actor herself. The source added that Meghan saw a “shared common ground” between them.
It was suggested by the source that this meeting did not concern the Beckham family rumour mill. According to the insider: “They didn’t meet in relation to recent developments and headlines, but it was an honest but very welcome coincidence.”
A source told the Mirror about a growing “distance” between Brooklyn Beckham and David and Victoria Beckham, 51. The insider revealed: “Brooklyn not turning up was a real blow to David. Brooklyn was close with his dad growing up, but he is married now. His wife Nicola is older and confident in her own right, and so there is distance between Brooklyn and his parents.”
They continued: “It has become a problem and not something they can keep private because of the way the family uses social media. Things have escalated in recent months, and there is a very obvious rift that David and Victoria would love to heal.”
Earlier this month, a source vented to the Daily Mail about Nicola, saying: “Victoria and David would do anything to get their son back, but they are done with Nicola now.”
They alleged that despite Brooklyn promising to be there for David’s birthday, Nicola would “kick something off”, making it “impossible” for Brooklyn to show up at family gatherings.
Yet, another source has hinted that Nicola might actually be trying to mend fences. This comes after reports that Brooklyn and Nicola had suggested a private catch-up with David in the UK for his big day, instead of rocking up to his glitzy bash, but apparently, their olive branch wasn’t taken up.
According to the insider: “Nicola encourages Brooklyn to see his family and is usually the reason Brooklyn does see his family. They are both devastated. They cannot believe that Victoria and David refused to see them privately after they travelled all the way to London specifically to try to repair the relationship.”
The source further revealed: “As parents, it’s shocking that Victoria and David are behaving this way… instead of privately discussing the issue. Victoria and David (appear to) have no interest in finding a solution that works for everyone.”
