Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed Brookyln Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham into their home in Montecito, California following reports of a family feud within the Beckham family.
PEOPLE magazine have confirmed that the pair were part of a group dinner, and weren't directly invited by the royal couple, and that they were invited before Brooklyn's dad David's birthday celebrations. A source told the magazine that Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, enjoyed their time at the dinner with the Duke and Duchess, calling the couple kind, caring and generous. HELLO! has reached out to representatives for more information.
The birthday events sparked reports of a rift in the Beckham family after neither David and Victoria's eldest son or Nicola attended. Although the pair fly to London during the week of the birthday events, they didn't show up at the events, leaving the family "disappointed".
A close source told HELLO! that Nicola was a source of tension between Brooklyn and his parents, explaining: "From the minute Nicola came into the family, she hasn’t shown what Victoria would say is respect towards them. Tensions rose at their wedding and that situation has continued; Victoria and Nicola don’t really get along. Over the past few months, Nicola has been causing things to fester and everyone to fall out."
It has also been claimed that Victoria and Nicola clashed over the couple's baby plans, with the source saying: "When they were last together, Victoria was talking about babies, saying that she was a young mum and that it might be a good idea to get going. Nicola didn’t take well to that."
However, Brooklyn recently spoke warmly about his dad in an interview, telling The Sunday Times that he and his dad share a love of cars.
He said: "It’s something that me and my dad bonded over. My dad’s had some pretty cool cars."
The similarities between the two couples and their public feuds with their respective family members is evident, and Harry recently spoke out about his own fall out with his family, two years after his tell-all memoir and Netflix documentary about leaving the royal family.
In early May, the Prince told the BBC that his father King Charles "won't speak" to him, adding: "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore."
He continued: "There have been so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family. This current situation that has now been ongoing for five years in regard to human life and safety is the sticking point. It is the only thing that's left."
"Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things… At this point I am feeling very let down. It is the minority of people. The press themselves have incited so much hatred towards my wife, myself and even my children. That is hard to forgive. There are decisions that were made, there are things that have happened since 2016 that I can now forgive.
"I've moved past that. I can forgive my family's involvement, my father, my brother and my stepmother, I can forgive. I can forgive the press to a large extent as well, for so many things that have happened."
