The rumoured family feud between Brooklyn and his parents David and Victoria Beckham has made headlines after the aspiring chef missed his dad's 50th birthday celebrations. It has since been reported that the eldest Beckham son, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, recently enjoyed dinner with Meghan Markle, 43, and Prince Harry, 40, at their Montecito home in California. The gathering, which took place last week, included approximately 20 guests, amid rumours of family tensions on both sides. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as working royals and have since lived and worked independently.
The dinner has drawn attention as both couples are reportedly experiencing strained family relationships, with the Beckhams allegedly feuding with Brooklyn's parents, David and Victoria, whilst the Sussexes continue to navigate their complicated relationship with the Royal Family. A PR expert has since urged Brooklyn does not make the same "mistake" Harry and Meghan made amid claims of a family rift.
Edward Coram-James, founder of GoUp and PR strategist, exclusively told Express.co.uk that the Peltz-Beckhams should avoid airing their dispute publicly, as he claimed this is what Harry and Meghan "failed to do".
He explained: “There’s a real chance the family could reconcile, given their history of unity and shared success.
That said. A superficial reunion, staged solely for PR, is easily seen through. Today’s public is more discerning than ever and they can spot insincerity from a mile away. In the long run, a failed attempt at presenting a false united front can do more harm than good.
To avoid making matters worse, the family could learn from what Harry and Meghan failed to do: Don’t turn private pain into a public power struggle. With Harry and Meghan, each new interview deepened the divide and diluted their message."
Edward said it would be best the family attempt a reconciliation.
He shared: "The Beckhams, known for their brand savvy, would do well to resist the temptation to respond via press leaks or passive-aggressive social media posts. When conflict starts to feel performative, the public quickly tunes out, and legacy, once tarnished, is hard to restore.
Time tends to heal wounds, especially when the focus moves from past conflicts to shared goals. Victoria and David have both been through a lot, and their kids are getting older, each finding their place within the family. Their drive to keep the family strong, both personally and professionally, could be the key to bringing them back together.”
It comes as Brooklyn skipped David's 50th birthday celebrations and their absence fuelled speculation about tensions within the Beckham family.
