They've now instructed the Prince's top legal eagle Jenny Afia to help with "reputation management".
The British solicitor works for Schillings law firm and was recently seen speaking on The Princes And The Press documentary.
A source told the Mail on Sunday: "All of a sudden they have enlisted the help of the Sussexes' long-serving lawyer.
"Nicola and Brooklyn are getting fed up of stories running they don't like. Nicola likes to control everything and they have taken this rather drastic action.
"For the Beckhams the irony isn't lost. They fell out with Meghan and Harry after they accused them of leaking stories – they were furious and Brooklyn knows that.
"The two couples are very close indeed."
Brooklyn and wife Nicola first sparked rumours of a huge rift between them and his parents when they snubbed all of David's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year.
Billionaire heiress, Nicola has since faced accusations of 'controlling' Brooklyn and is believed to be at the centre of the escalating feud between the Peltz and Beckham families.
Budding photographer Brooklyn previously fell out with his parents shortly after his marriage to Nicola.
Yet with a fresh clash in full swing, experts have told The Sun how the eldest of the Beckham clan has chosen his wife over his mega-famous family.
Amid the allegations over her conduct, a source previously said of the Lola star: "She is creating conflict where there is none and divides are springing up left, right and centre."
Yet her mates have now taken a stand.
One told MirrorOnline: "She is not isolating him [Brooklyn] at all.
"He is free to do what he wants and he loves his wife and they are happy together.
"They are each other's family.'

EXCLUSIVE Mike Tyson's mom had sex with men as he lay sleeping in bed next to her... years later he asked his therapist an agonizing question
As Father's Day gifts go, Mark Kriegel's new book 'Baddest Man: The Making of Mike Tyson ' may not be the most obvious choice. After all, Tyson didn't really know his dad growing up. He was first told his father had been a Jamaican-born cab driver, only for his mother Lorna to later point to Jimmy 'Curlee' Kirkpatrick, a known pimp around 1970s Brooklyn. Tyson naturally preferred the latter explanation because a pimp's son had more 'status' than a cabbie's, as he explained in his 2013 one-man show, 'Undisputed Truth.'

Heist film starring acting royalty now on Amazon Prime but fans say same thing
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Directed by James March, King of Thieves is a 2018 British crime film inspired by true events. The screenplay, penned by Joe Penhall, Duncan Campbell, and Mark Seal, brings to life the notorious Hatton Garden safe deposit burglary - a heist carried out over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend in April 2015 by a band of seasoned elderly criminals. The film boasts a star-studded cast including Michael Caine, Tom Courtenay, Michael Gambon, Francesca Annis, Charlie Cox, Jim Broadbent, Paul Whitehouse and Ray Winstone. It tells the tale of a group of retired crooks (and one young alarms expert) who plan and pull off a daring robbery in London's jewellery quarter during the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. However, their final big score quickly descends into chaos as greed takes hold. Despite its stellar cast and gripping real-life story, King of Thieves failed to make a significant impact either commercially or critically. Box Office Mojo reports that the film only raked in $7,518 domestically in the United States and Canada, with just $3,502 earned during its opening weekend. Globally, the film grossed around $11.5 million at the box office, reports the Daily Record. The film's scenes were predominantly shot in central London and around Margate in Kent, showcasing venues like the Wig and Pen Pub, the Nayland Rock Hotel, Harbour Arm, outside Turner Contemporary, and Margate railway station. Additionally, one can spot Abbott's Cliff in Dover during the train sequence when Brian Reader (played by Michael Caine) heads to Margate. (Image: Publicity Picture) Despite its cinematic setting, the movie didn't quite stir up a storm, settling for a 31 per cent review score on Rotten Tomatoes. Both critics and audiences seemed underwhelmed by how the film was brought to life. Echoing the sentiment, a critic wrote: "The Hatton Gardens heist was a ballsy operation. You can't say the same about King of Thieves." Another reviewer pointed out: "King of Thieves really should have delivered way more cinematic swag than it does." Meanwhile, a commentator dissected the film's tone: "Torn between jaunty genre hijinks and a bleaker streak of realism, it's a strangely stiff, lethargic account of a cracking tale." The stinging critiques continued with a reviewer saying: "There is one joke in King of Thieves, and it's that the thieves are old. That's it-that's the whole movie," while another lamented: "Marsh had his hands on some very fancy jewels. What he didn't have, sadly, was the script to make them gleam." The audience feedback was similarly tepid, with one viewer saying: "Passes the time but little else. Tries hard to be both a comedy and a thriller but doesn't really succeed at either. For such a daring burglary, this could have surely been done a lot better." Another cinema-goer likened the film to the bungled robbery it portrays, adding: "Based on a real account of a robbery in London and featuring a superb all British cast. Very much like the botched heist, the plot here is in shambles all over the place." A different viewer didn't mince their words expressing their disappointment, saying: "It's poorly written. The heist isn't that exciting. The humour isn't funny." Meanwhile, another audience member remarked: "Not a gripping tale. At times the audience were laughing - was this supposed to be a comedy? ? ? Difficult to remember the names of the was who? "Undoubtedly the royalty of British male actors but the story was weak. It could have been much better if there was character and story development of the Police activity pitted against the perpetrators. Shame - not worth a look."
