Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to have spent time with Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz at their mansion in Montecito last week amid the rumoured Beckham family rift

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz are rumoured to have spent time with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at their home just last week. The two couples are said to have bonded amid rumours of a rift within the Beckham family at the moment.

Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, are thought to have been absent from a party for his father, David Beckham, 50, earlier this month after reportedly missing other celebrations. The special occasion has fuelled speculation of tension within the high-profile family, and a source told the Mirror recently that there is “distance” between Brooklyn and his parents.

It’s now claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan are “secretly supporting” Brooklyn and Nicola. The news follows previous reports that Prince Harry had once been pals with David, though the relationship reportedly soured.

Brooklyn and Nicola were reportedly invited to Prince Harry and Meghan’s mansion in Montecito last week, just days after David’s birthday celebrations. It has, however, been claimed that the gathering had been planned prior and that any recent circumstances were a “welcome coincidence”.

The Sun reports that the “dinner” had been arranged before the apparent fallout between the Beckham family. However, it’s been suggested that the two couples “found a lot of common ground,” with Prince Harry and Meghan having dealt with apparent tension with his family over the years.

The outlet adds that it’s understood the two couples swapped numbers whilst at the home. It states that it isn’t known whether they have remained in touch, though.

A source told the outlet that it was an “unexpected invite” for Brooklyn and Nicola, who were described as feeling “pretty battle-wounded,” but was “gratefully received”. The source said that Prince Harry and Meghan were “very kind” and “empathetic” to their guests.

The source added: “Harry was fully aware of the situation and offered Brooklyn his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar.” They added: “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 reportedly had “a lot of sympathy” for Nicola, who is herself an actor. The source further claimed to the outlet that Meghan said there was “shared common ground” between them.

The source went on to suggest that the meeting wasn’t connected to the Beckham rift rumours. The source said: “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 recently that there is “distance” between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, 51. The source said, “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 added: “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.”

A source complained to the Daily Mail about Nicola in an article published earlier this month. The source said: “Victoria and David would do anything to get their son back, but they are done with Nicola now.” The source went on to claim that Nicola “finds a way to start an argument”. They claimed that Brooklyn had told his parents that he would be there for David’s birthday, but the source alleged that, amid his making plans with his family, Nicola would then “kick something off” and in the end it becomes “impossible” for her husband to attend such events.

However, a source has since suggested to the Mirror that Nicola is the peacekeeper. It came following reports that Brooklyn and Nicola had offered to privately meet David for his milestone birthday in the UK, rather than attend his showbiz party, but didn’t have their request fulfilled.

The source said: “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 & David refused to see them privately after they travelled all the way to London specifically to try to repair the relationship.”

They added to us: “As parents, it’s shocking that Victoria & 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.”

The Mirror has approached representatives for both parties.

Alleged text conversations between Cassie Ventura and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs have been shown to the jury as the case against the rapper, 55, continued for a third day

The trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs entered its third day on Wednesday (May 14) with shocking text allegations revealed in court. The rapper is in the lower Manhattan courthouse facing charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex ­trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.

In September, the musician, 55, was arrested and has continued to strongly deny all allegations made against him. He has been in prison since his arrest, with a number of bail requests rejected.

His ex-Cassie Ventura took the stand on day two, before retaking her position under oath on the third day. On day three, a number of text conversations between the pair were shown to the jury. We look at some of the shocking allegations here.

Combs ‘threatened to release Freak Off videos’

As Ventura continued to testify, she claimed Combs threatened to publicly share videos on a number of occasions. She said if he had done so it could have ruined everything she had worked for as it would have made her “look like a slut”.

She said she was always worried about the rapper becoming mad enough to release them. After admitting she feared for her career, saying she wasn’t supposed to be on the videos, a jury saw a text Ventura sent Combs.

It read: “Please delete any video out of your iphone you have. Too many people have access to your stuff.”

It’s said Combs replied: “I did yesterday an no icloud. All Good. Ambien kicking in. Goodnight.”

Despite his claims, Ventura said she kept seeing a video she had previously thought had been deleted.

Ventura says Combs treated her like he was Ike Turner

A text exchange shown to the jury saw Ventura write to Combs: “Nothing good comes out of FOs any more. You treat me like you’re Ike Turner.”

The text came as Ventura continued to testify and expose the underbelly of the former couple’s years-long relationship.

Ventura speaks of French Montana and Drake

As her testimony continued, a number of celebrities were mentioned. Ventura discussed a 2013 incident in which she was packing to attend Drake’s music festival in Canada.

It’s claimed Combs got into a scuffle with her friends and threw Ventura into a bed frame. The alleged incident is said to have left her with a ‘pretty significant gash’ above her left eye, she said. It’s claimed the rapper’s security personnel then took her to a plastic surgeon to get the wound stitched up.

She claims she later sent Combs an image of her injured face and wrote: “So you can remember.”

Combs is said to have responded: “You don’t know when to stop. You pushed it too far. And continued to push. Sad.”

Ventura then spoke of a photograph where she was alongside rapper French Montana at the Canadian festival.

Combs ‘threats’ after break-up

According to allegations Combs texted Ventura in 2019 saying: “If I as you, I would get me my money.”

It’s claimed he wanted to be reimbursed by his ex after she married Alex Fine. Combs had initially hired the personal trainer for Ventura.

The texts are said to have gone on: “YOU WILL NOT BE THREATENING ME,” before he added that Ventura had “too many iPads full of skeletons”.

It’s said Ventura replied: “Do you want me to tell the truth? It’s way deeper than iPads.”

The trial continues.
