Brooklyn Beckham and Prince Harry share similar traits amidst their ongoing tensions with their families. In recent years, both have been at loggerheads with their respective families with issues allegedly stemming from their wives.
Most recently, David and Victoria Beckham’s eldest child has been embroiled in drama after he and his wife Nicola Peltz failed to attend any of the celebrations for the former Manchester United legends 50th birthday. The Beckham’s had three different celebrations, an intimate family dinner at their Cotswolds estate, a trip to France and then a boozy dinner in London.
Brooklyn, 26, had allegedly told his family that he and Nicola would be attending the events but things took a dramatic turn. The pair had actually been in London ahead of the celebrations but their decision to snub the event left his dad heartbroken. It’s claimed that aspiring chef Brooklyn feels as though his family have chosen his younger brother, Romeo, over him amidst tensions between the two siblings.

Now, former Celebrity Big Brother star Liz Jones has commented on the situation, comparing it to Prince Harry and his strained relationships with the Royals following his legal blow last week. “Harry and Brooklyn’s trajectories are eerily similar and proof that privilege is a double-edged sword,” wrote Liz.
Writing for the Daily Mail, the broadcaster and columnist added: “Both have been famous since birth. Both have faced ridicule online and in print. Neither will surpass the achievements of their fathers – one the King of England and the other of English football. At 40, Harry seems rudderless. Fourteen years his junior, Brooklyn, too, has failed to find his feet, dabbling in modelling, photography and now cookery.

“It is fair to say they were floundering, until two glamorous and ambitious women swooped in from across the Atlantic to whisk them down the aisle.” Harry married for Suits actress Meghan Markle in 2018, with the pair instantly becoming a hit with royal fans across the world.
However, tensions started to rise amongst their inner-circle with Harry and Meghan sensationally claiming false stories had been leaked about them. This included an accusation that Princess Kate had been reduced to tears by the Duchess of Sussex, who later claimed it was the other way around.
In January 2020, the Sussexes made the unexpected announcement that they were stepping down as senior working royals and would instead, live a financially independent life away from the Crown in California. Harry later opened up in his memoir, Spare, about his rift with his older brother, Prince William of Wales, and accused his step-mother, Queen Camilla of selling stories.

But just last week, the Prince opened up about a possible reconciliation with his family, admitting he would love to have a relationship with them again. During an interview with the BBC after a court judgement upheld the decision to strip Harry of his round the clock police security, Harry explained he didn’t know how long his dad had left to live.
Speaking during the interview, harry said: “There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things but… there’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has, he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff. It would be nice to reconcile.”
Meanwhile, David and Victoria have allegedly told pals they are “done” with Nicola but would do anything to get their eldest child back. Speaking to the Daily Mail, the source went on to say: “Victoria and David would do anything to get their son back, but they are done with Nicola now.”
