The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly had a heart to heart with Brooklyn Beckham’s wife Nicola Peltz as both couples find themselves in tough family struggles
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to have offered Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz a show of support as the ‘heartbreaking’ feud in the Beckham household rumbles on.
The Sussexes are said to have hosted the couple for dinner at their Montecito mansion – planned before the Beckhams’ fall-out reached boiling point – and Meghan reportedly feels especially sympathetic to Nicola given their similar ongoing family struggles.
Harry and Meghan have famously distanced themselves from the royal family, having made repeated public criticisms of the monarchy. Brooklyn and Nicola, meanwhile, have fallen out with Victoria and David and chose to skip the ex footballer’s recent 50th birthday celebrations.
Speaking about the dinner event, a source told the Sun: “Nicola and Meghan also had a bit of a ‘deep n’ meaningful’ as obviously both women have been positioned in the media as home-wreckers — the women to tear apart their husband’s families.”

“Meghan had a lot of sympathy for her, and said there was shared common ground. They didn’t meet in relation to recent developments and headlines, but it was an honest but very welcome coincidence.”
But now a source close to Harry and Meghan appears to have thrown cold water over the alleged alliance. The Sussex insider has claimed that the younger couple were not directly invited to dinner by Harry and Meghan, suggesting they were instead asked to be there by a mutual friend or intermediary. According to PEOPLE, the Sussexes’ favoured publication in the US, the dinner was also for a larger group of VIPs, including TV and media executives, rather than a more intimate meal.

Nevertheless, there are certainly similarities between the couples, given their joint strained family relationships. Harry and Meghan are practically estranged from the royals, but the Duke recently expressed his wish for a reconciliation.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn and Nicola came under fire after deciding not to attend David’s 50th bash in Notting Hill, despite being in London at the time. Brooklyn also skipped an early birthday party in Miami in April, as well as a fishing trip David had arranged with all his sons in Scotland, an intimate dinner at his Cotswolds mansion, and a trip to France for a vineyard tour.
A source close to Brooklyn and Nicola later claimed that Victoria and David “refused” to see the couple privately ahead of the final birthday dinner, even though they had “travelled all the way to London specifically to try to repair the relationship”.
Meanwhile, the Beckhams’ friends have reacted with fury after Nicola’s pals made a series of extraordinary claims about the reason why the rift between Brooklyn and his family emerged .
A friend suggested that there is “emotional abuse and toxic behaviour” between the family which is why the four are unable to get along. However, David and Victoria reject the claims and are outraged by the suggestions.
A source close to the Beckhams said: “I don’t think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack. It doesn’t even warrant a response, it’s so ludicrous and patently untrue.” A second source told The Mirror that the couple have been left “open mouthed” after hearing the suggestions.
Victoria and David were initially friends with Meghan and Harry. However, the four of them appear to have fallen out after ex-Suits actress Meghan reportedly accused Victoria of leaking stories about her.
Another development just this week when Harry’s sister-in-law Princess Kate made a show of support for Victoria by choosing to wear an olive trouser suit from the designer to a major fashion event.
In response to Kate’s outfit choice, a source close to the Beckhams said: “The Princess of Wales has worn Victoria’s designs before and it’s really great to see that she’s wearing one again, especially as the outfit was not gifted and was very much her own call to wear it. Both couples support each other’s charities and David and William are friends too, so there is a great deal of mutual respect there.”
It will have been a big boost for Victoria, who is said to be ‘heartbroken’ by the rift with her eldest son. Reports that the former Spice Girl and her daughter-in-law didn’t get on first surfaced at the time of Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding in 2022, when Nicola opted to wear a Valentino gown instead of one designed by Victoria. Sources say the incident marked the start of ongoing friction.
