Experts compare Beckham rift to royal fallout as Brooklyn grows closer to Harry and Meghan
Brooklyn Beckham and Prince Harry are being compared for putting their marriages ahead of longstanding family bonds, as tensions continue to simmer within both the Beckham and royal households.
On The Sun’s Royal Exclusive Show, royal commentator Samara Gill and seasoned royal photographer Arthur Edwards drew parallels between Brooklyn’s reported estrangement from the Beckham family and Harry’s public rift with the British royals.
The discussion follows reports that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz recently dined with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at their Montecito home—just days after Brooklyn skipped all events tied to his father David Beckham’s milestone 50th birthday.
“He’s definitely trying to distance himself from the family,” Gill said, noting that Brooklyn, like Harry, now resides in California and appears increasingly disconnected from his British roots.
Brooklyn and Nicola married on April 9, 2022, but since then, a reported feud between Nicola and Victoria Beckham has created ongoing tension. Sources suggest that the situation has been further complicated by family dynamics, including the presence of Romeo Beckham’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull, at recent gatherings.
With both Brooklyn and Harry facing strained relations with their families and building new lives in America with their wives, experts suggest the two couples have found common ground—not just in lifestyle, but in loyalty.
