Will this ruin Prince Harry‘s hopes of reconciliation with his family? It sure won’t help!
Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have inserted themselves into another major British family feud — putting them at odds with their own family members once again!
As Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz‘s feud with David, Victoria, and the rest of the Beckham family rages on, the Sussexes have found themselves supporting the young couple — while Princess Catherine has sided with the parents! And this is just making the divide between the royals worse. Oof.

A Markle source spilled the tea on what’s been going on between the two families lately, telling RadarOnline on Friday that the Suits alum understands intimately what Nicola is going through and is doing what she can to be supportive, even if it costs her a future relationship with Kate Middleton:
“Family tension is a very familiar narrative, and one Meghan’s painfully aware of. She wants to support Nicola however she can when it comes to her family rift. The downside is Kate is on the other side of the feud!”
It’s yet another sign that these two royals have hardly ever been on the same page about anything!
While the dynamic with the royals remains ice cold, Harry and Meg are focused on building a relationship with the hot sauce entrepreneur and his heiress wife. They’ve been spending lots of time together at events hosted by their friend, Paramount and Nickelodeon CEO Brian Robbins — so much so they’ve been dubbed a “U.S. Fab Four”! Uh, whoa! That’s what the Sussexes and Kate and Prince William used to be called. Damn. Getting replaced just like that!
So, why lean into the friendship? Is this out of the goodness of their hearts — just two friendly folks extending a helpful hand? Uh, yeah, no, not exactly. Sure, they’re trying to be nice and they can relate to this drama — but they’ve also got high hopes for this connection! A confidant said:
“The Sussexes see a huge amount of potential in this friendship and are keen to build on it. Meghan’s especially excited to bring Nicola into her world — they’re talking every day. The bond is strong already.”
The women, of course, have gone through similar struggles joining famous families so they do have ways in which they relate to each other on a personal level, the source added:
“Meghan feels like she’s found a kindred spirit in Nicola. Both women have faced similar scrutiny and have been made to feel like outsiders. There’s a real sense of solidarity between them.”
And yet there always seems to be an ulterior motive with Meg’s friendships. Along with the hope of benefiting from this new friendship, one source suggested it’s also to send a message to the royals:
“They’re not looking back. Teaming up with Nicola and Brooklyn is their way of showing they’ve moved on — for good.”
They just keep digging their heels in further and further… despite claiming they want to make amends with their estranged relatives!
Meanwhile, Kate subtly stood up for Victoria by wearing one of her suits at a public event — and it was very much meant to be viewed as the statement of support that many believed it was. A royal source explained:
“It wasn’t accidental. Kate knows exactly what she’s doing. Wearing VB was her way of showing Victoria she’s got her back, and she and Wills have been close to David and Victoria for years.”
Her heart goes out to the Spice Girls alum because as a mother of three herself and someone who has been witness to family members having to cut ties, she gets how “painful” this is:
“Kate feels for her as a mom. She understands how painful it must be to feel estranged from your own child. She wanted to give Victoria a little boost, and that show of support meant the world.”
Unfortunately, so far, the Beckhams are following a similar trajectory to the royal feud — there’s no end in sight. An insider close to the fam gave a depressing update on the status of the rift:
“There’s been no contact from Brooklyn. Victoria and David are heartbroken. As parents, they’re concerned and want to talk, but he’s just shut them out completely.”
Another insider argued this was never what Nicola wanted — even if she might’ve made Brooklyn choose between her and his fam, as his recent post indicated. They dished:
“Nicola’s strong and opinionated, yes — but she’s also deeply sensitive. She’s devastated by how things have played out.”
It also just so happens that Nicola’s billionaire parents have become a “sanctuary” for the aspiring chef, allowing him to get out of the “relentless spotlight” and enjoy an environment with “a lot less pressure.” Not a good sign for the Beckhams…
