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.”
