Jam-making and family struggles bring the two couples closer
Brooklyn Beckham appears to have struck up an unexpected bond with Meghan Markle, thanks to a shared passion for homemade creations.
The 26-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham, who often experiments with recipes, recently posted an Instagram tutorial on how to make jam. The move drew comparisons to Meghan, who earlier this year launched her own raspberry jam under the American Riviera Orchard label, priced at £6.50 a jar.
While Meghan’s venture is a polished business effort, Brooklyn’s approach was more casual, showing fans how to make his version at home. His interest comes as reports suggest that he and his wife Nicola Peltz have been receiving quiet support from Harry and Meghan, with both couples navigating strained relationships with their families.
Back in May, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly hosted Brooklyn and Nicola for dinner at their Montecito mansion. During the evening, Meghan and Nicola are said to have shared a heartfelt conversation about facing criticism and being branded as “homewreckers” by detractors.
According to insiders, Harry and Meghan offered the young couple “unwavering support,” empathising with their situation given their own ongoing rift with the royal family.
For now, whether in the kitchen or in life, Meghan and Brooklyn seem to have found common ground in more ways than one.
