Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz detail ‘intense' wedding that allegedly sparked Victoria feud
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz recalled their 'intense' wedding planning process that allegedly sparked her feud with his mum, Victoria Beckham. 'Weddings can be intense, especially when you're busy making sure everyone else is having fun,' Peltz said in a joint Glamour interview with Brooklyn published today. The Lola actress also noted that, ahead of their wedding, they were advised to 'take a moment' for themselves on their special day. 'Step away, breathe, be together. Those were my favourite moments,' Peltz mused. Brooklyn agreed, telling the outlet that they found a moment to 'disappear for a second' after their ceremony. 'We took a quick drive, just the two of us. It was perfect,' he revealed, noting that the best wedding advice he could offer was to 'love each other, be honest, and always protect one another.' When asked about how he and his wife protect their relationship while living under the spotlight, Brooklyn said that he simply 'ignore[s] the noise.' 'Keep your head down, work hard, be kind,' Brooklyn, 26, continued. 'People are always going to talk. What matters is that we're happy together.' Peltz, 30, admitted that 'it's not always easy' to shrug off the whispers and is often tempted to respond. 'On TikTok there are always random stories popping up about us,' she said. 'When I see fake news, my instinct is to shut it down.' But the actress finds that defending herself can sometimes do more harm than good. 'It's not worth it. I just scroll past and move on,' she said. Brooklyn and Peltz tied the knot in April 2022. Months later, rumours surfaced that Peltz and Victoria had feuded during the wedding planning process. Their relationship allegedly soured when Peltz wore a custom wedding gown by Valentino instead of one by her mother-in-law's eponymous fashion label. While Peltz and the Spice Girls singer, 51, shut down rift rumours by repeatedly posting about each other on social media, tensions arose again last month when the model and her husband were a no-show at David Beckham's 50th birthday party. An insider told us that Peltz and Brooklyn made no attempt to attend the retired soccer player's star-studded soirees amid a 'very sad' estrangement. Last week, sources claimed that Victoria stole the spotlight at their wedding. 'Before the song began, Marc Anthony asked Brooklyn to come to the stage, and then announced, 'The most beautiful woman in the room tonight, come on up…Victoria Beckham!'' an insider told People. Peltz allegedly felt that Victoria 'ruined' their wedding and 'couldn't understand' her actions. The bride allegedly ran from the room in tears over the incident. A source close to the young couple told Page Six last week that Peltz is still 'deeply' haunted by the stunt to this day. 'Everyone in the room witnessed what happened,' the source said. 'The shock was palpable. It was deeply hurtful. Unfortunately, this wasn't a one-off. It's a pattern that still happens to this day.'

Deleted scene from Meghan's Netflix show revealed
Months after the finale of With Love, Meghan aired, Meghan Markle has offered fans a never-before-seen clip from the series. The deleted scene was posted on her Instagram page recently, showing the Duchess of Sussex cutting a pineapple with her guest, wellness therapist Randi Karin. In it, she described the best way to cut the fruit, explaining: 'With pineapple, instead of just cutting it to make the perfect little bite, you follow the wedge. When nature has given you all the cues on how to have a perfect taste of something!' 'There was so much goodness on Season 1 of 'With Love, Meghan' on Netflix that didn't make it in, there just wasn't enough time! This scene with sweet Randi Karin is especially fun as you think about summer entertaining tips and tricks,' Meghan wrote in her caption. 'Great weekend to rewatch or catch-up, catch up on the show as we gear up for Season 2 this summer and all the fun to come with @aseverofficial.' However, not everyone was blown away by the tip on cutting pineapples – with some pointing out how basic the instructions were. 'It's like watching a grade school home [economics] class. How sad,' one wrote on X. 'I can understand why it was deleted, dear god,' another said. 'Shares a hack that everybody everywhere has known for years,' one person wrote, as someone else joked sarcastically: 'In the next episode Meghan shows us how to peel a banana.' Others praised the duchess, with one person gushing: 'Meghan is the ONLY ONE I have ever seen cut a pineapple like this. Meghan you're simply the BEST.' Another declared: 'I needed this! I love pineapple but cutting it is hard.' It was confirmed earlier this year that With Love, Meghan had been renewed for a second season – with rumours circulating recently that a third has also been greenlit from Netflix. Meghan's pineapple post comes after it was revealed that she had left a handwritten note for the cabin crew aboard a recent flight. A TikTok user named @ninavidavlogs took to the social media platform to share the story, claiming the duchess had boarded an American Airlines flight she was working on and had left a personal message thanking them all for their service. Describing her as 'so beautiful in person', Nina went on: 'She was so sweet. She wrote us a little handwritten note back. So we wrote her [a] note that said, 'It's a pleasure serving you. We love you real bad.''
