Duke and Duchess extend unexpected invite amid ongoing family drama
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to have reignited tensions with David and Victoria Beckham following their widely reported fallout, by extending an unexpected invitation to Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz for an intimate dinner at their Montecito mansion.
The move, revealed by The Sun, comes just days after Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations—amid rumors of growing strain between Brooklyn and his family, particularly his brother Romeo.
Insiders say the Sussexes were “very empathetic” during the evening, with Harry reportedly offering Brooklyn “unwavering support” as someone familiar with public family rifts. Nicola and Meghan are said to have bonded over the pressures and criticism they've faced, particularly for allegedly causing rifts within their respective families.
While the timing of the dinner raised eyebrows—coming amid the Beckhams’ closer ties with the royal family—sources insist it was not a calculated move. Still, the gesture has been viewed by some as a pointed response to the growing distance between the Sussexes and the Beckham household.
The dinner also comes during a difficult period for Harry, following a legal defeat in his UK security case and ongoing estrangement from King Charles. Despite the setbacks, Harry has expressed openness to reconciliation, even as he acknowledges that forgiveness may not come from all corners of the royal family.
