- Celebrities. Brooklyn Beckham speaks out about his father David Beckham after rumors of family "war"
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently welcomed Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham to their Montecito home, offering a quiet evening away from the public eye at a time when both couples face challenges within their respective families.
The gathering, which reportedly took place before David Beckham's birthday celebrations, comes amid speculation of strained relations within the Beckham family.
Brooklyn & Nicola's visit to Montecito
Although not directly invited by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the couple ed a group dinner at the royal pair's California estate.
Sources close to the event confirmed to PEOPLE that Brooklyn and Nicola had been extended an earlier invitation and described their hosts as warm and gracious.
The evening appears to have offered the Beckhams a sense of ease, despite growing headlines about a rift with Brooklyn's parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
The family tension escalated after Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from David's recent birthday festivities in London, reportedly leaving his parents "disappointed."
While the couple did travel to the UK during that period, their lack of attendance raised further questions about the ongoing strain.
A source cited by HELLO! claimed that friction between Nicola and Victoria has persisted since the pair's wedding, with unresolved issues continuing to cause division.
This dinner in Montecito also mirrors the ongoing challenges within Prince Harry's own family.
In a recent interview with the BBC, Harry revealed that communication with his father, King Charles III, remains broken as the monarch undergoes cancer treatment.
Despite the distance, the Prince expressed hope for reconciliation, emphasizing that continued conflict serves no one.
Meanwhile, Nicola Peltz has reportedly clashed with the Beckham family over personal matters, including future plans for children.
Social media interactions have also hinted at underlying tensions, particularly between Nicola and Brooklyn's siblings, Romeo and Cruz.
Though representatives for both couples declined to comment, the similarities between their family experiences are notable.
As Harry and Meghan remain at odds with the royal family, and Brooklyn and Nicola navigate challenges of their own, the Montecito dinner may have served as a moment of mutual understanding between two couples uniquely familiar with public family scrutiny.
