Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz hire Meghan Markle's lawyer amid family feud
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have reportedly hired the lawyers who represent Meghan Markle and Prince Harry amid ongoing family feud with his family
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have reportedly felt compelled to instruct Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's lawyer in a bid to protect their reputations amid their ongoing family feud. Brooklyn, 26 and Nicola, 30, have been notably absent from milestone family gatherings over recent months amid a feud that reportedly stemmed from tension between his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
According to reports relations between Nicola and his parents were at an all time low during their wedding planning. Four months after Nicola's wedding, she told Vanity Fair that Victoria let her down a few months "down the line" when she realised her "atelier couldn't do it [make the dress]."
And so instead, she opted for a Valentino gown. Adding further fuel to the fire, the couple was a no show at David's recent 50th birthday celebrations.
So now, it has been claimed that they have hired top solicitor Jenny Afia to help with "reputation management." The British solicitor works for the legal firm Schillings and was seen commenting on the documentary titled The Princes And The Press.
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."
They added: "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."
The feud between Nicola and Brooklyn's parents doesn't not appear to be ending any time soon if his post about being loyal to his wife is anything to go by. Brooklyn shared a video with fans of the pair on the back of his motorbike as they rode through southern California.
He told his wife, who is the daughter of billionaire Nelson Peltz: "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby."
Nicola has been accused of being controlling. A separate source told The Sun: "She is creating conflict where there is none and divides are springing up left, right and centre."
In a bid to balance out the scales, Nicola's friends have since stepped forward. One told the Mirror: "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."
The Mirror approached Nicola and Brooklyn's spokesperson for comment.

Jake Paul targets Anthony Joshua fight as boxer reveals six-man hit list
The 'Problem Child' is set to make his return to the ring later this month, but is already planning on staying active with a win against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Jake Paul has dropped a bombshell by revealing a six-man wish list of future opponents, with British heavyweight Anthony Joshua shockingly making the cut. 'The Problem Child' is gearing up for a cruiserweight clash with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on June 28, his first fight since outpointing boxing legend Mike Tyson last November. After inking the deal with Chavez Jr, following a period of frustration over fight updates, Paul is already eyeing up his next big challenges. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has shockingly called out Joshua, a former two-time heavyweight world champion, after a brief phone exchange earlier this year, with hopes to go head-to-head in 2026. Assuming he emerges from the Chavez Jr fight unscathed, Paul is eager to avoid any time away from the ring and has set his sights on even more high-profile fights. Among those on his hit-list are WBC world champion Badou Jack, as Paul revealed to Most Valuable Promotions: "After Chavez I think Gervonta Davis, Anthony Joshua, KSI, Tommy Fury, Ryan Garcia, Badou Jack. It's a pretty hefty list." Despite mentioning KSI, Paul recently expressed scepticism on Ariel Helwani Show about that fight materialising, saying: "They only want eight just keep adding new stuff [to the negotiations] all the time, and I'm focused on much bigger things." He added: "I'm all KSI has, he's literally nothing without the Paul brothers. Logan brought him Prime, and Prime has kept him relevant, and him being able to fight me is the only thing he has left. At the end of the day, I'm doing much bigger things and don't need to sit here and be negotiating things on Twitter. If they're going to make the fight happen, they're going to do it. "I don't [think it's going to happen]...I've been saying this for five, six years, and this is a longer negotiation than Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao...I'm clearly the one who is an active fighter, I'm fighting everybody, so who's the problem here? They aren't a serious boxing brand, Misfits has gone to s***. Their brand is a there's clearly one side that knows what they're doing and another side that's just joking around and it's a circus." In the same interview, Paul also revealed that he was close to securing a showdown with Davis at 195lbs before the arrangement fell through. Despite agreement terms finalised in March for a potential face-off, Davis' bout with Lamont Roach proved to be a stumbling block. The unexpected draw, marred by controversy over a denied knockdown for Roach in round nine, could now pave the way for a rematch between the lightweight contenders on August 16. The social media star is keen on a dust-up with 'Tank' if they both come out on top in their upcoming fights. "That was on the one yard as well, but he has to rematch Lamont Roach," Paul said. "He wants to get that back. Then we will be back in discussions with Mr. Gervonta. But this is the nature of boxing, you have massive fights on the one-yard line and then they fall through." He added: "I never really thought tank was that good, it just took the right fighter to pick him apart to be honest. Someone who had high activity and wasn't afraid of his power. So, I always saw so many holes in his game, to me it wasn't that surprising that someone finally gave him some good work."

Tom Daley says he and Dustin Lance Black 'align very well' despite their age gap
Tom Daley says he and Dustin Lance Black 'align very well' despite their age gap The 31-year-old retired Olympian has been married to Hollywood director Dustin, 50, since 2017 and when asked if the age gap feels as if it "gets smaller" with each passing year (Image: Getty Images ) Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black "align very well" despite their age gap. The 31-year-old retired Olympian has been married to Hollywood director Dustin, 50, since 2017 and when asked if the age gap feels as if it "gets smaller" with each passing year, he insisted that it does. He said: "One hundred percent. It's funny because the people that know us know that I'm the more mature person that kinds of runs the show in the house. "As we get older, I think we both align very well on what we want to achieve. "We're both really big dreamers. I think that was the biggest thing for us, that we're both so supportive of each other. We don't limit the other person's dreams. We really make each other feel like we can achieve whatever we set our minds to." The British-born sports star and American Dustin - who are parents to Robbie Ray, six, and two-year-old Phoenix - recently moved to LA and Tom explained that there were a "number of reasons " behind their decision to relocate. Article continues below He said: "There were a number of reasons, honestly. Part of it was the fact that Lance moved to the U.K. for me to be able to do my diving for the longest time. He moved away from his business and his work. 'Now it's his turn' kind of vibe." Tom - who began his career as a child - announced his retirement from diving after he won Silver at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, and admitted that it still fees "weird" to have been away from the water for so long. He said: "I watch all the diving competitions. "There's still part of me that's like, 'Oh, I could do that.' You know what I mean? Like, 'I could do it better than them. What are they doing? Come on. Is that really all they got?' There's still a part of me that's a bit like, 'Oof.'. However, Tom was then asked if there was any sort of comeback on the cards for him and he insisted that would not be the case. He said: "No, we're done!" Article continues below But Tom will support his children if they ever want to follow in his footsteps, although he insisted that he will never "push them" to do so. He said: "If they want to start diving, they can tell me they want to start diving. "But I'm never going to push anything on them that they don't want to do. So, if they showed interest in it. Robbie doesn't really show interest in that side of things. Whereas Phoenix is slightly more of a second child. Daredevil, crazy. You know, the feral child. There's slightly more interest!"

Outlander star Sam Heughan to make debut in iconic role
The British theatre company has announced its programme of events for 2025/2026, including a raft of plays that will be staged in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of famous playwright William Shakespeare. In the RSC's latest version of Macbeth, Scottish actor Heughan, 45, known for playing Highland warrior Jamie Fraser in romance drama Outlander, will star opposite The Day Of The Jackal actress Lia Williams, as Lady Macbeth. Heughan said: 'At age 18, standing on the main stage of the Royal Lyceum Edinburgh, playing 'spear-carrier number 2' (essentially a glorified extra) in a production of Macbeth, I could only dream of one day playing the infamous title character. 'It feels full circle to be returning to the stage, after over a decade working primarily in television and film. 'Not only is Macbeth my favourite Shakespeare play: intense, immediate and unsettling, it also happens to be famously Scottish. 'The RSC has always been at the pinnacle of my ambition and I feel deeply honoured and thankful to be working alongside some enormously talented and creative people. 'The Other Place is the perfect space to create an intense, intimate production and, like Lady M, we will be calling upon the spirits of the RSC's highly acclaimed past productions for their blessing.' David Tennant, Sir Ian McKellen, and Ralph Fiennes are among the actors who have played the famous character who, consumed by greed and power, murders the king to take the Scottish throne for himself. When will Sam Heughan take the stage as MacBeth? The new production will be shown at The Other Place theatre from October 9 to December 6. Elsewhere, four of Shakespeare's most famous characters have their stories revisited across two performances, also being staged at The Other Place, from January 2026. The first performance in All Is But Fantasy explores the story of Lady Macbeth, who is consumed by guilt after plotting to murder King Duncan, and Emilia, a character in tragedy play, Othello. The second performance looks at the story of Juliet, from tragic romance story Romeo And Juliet, and Richard III, who uses manipulation to become king in the eponymous play. Olivier award-winning actor Adrian Lester will play the title role of Cyrano de Bergerac in a new version of Edmond Rostand's play about the novelist and playwright, showing at the Swan Theatre from September 27 to November 15. Over at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Harry Potter star Alfred Enoch will star as Henry V in a play running from March 14 to April 25 2026. Other highlights include an 80-minute staging of King Lear and a two-part adaptation of John Galsworthy's novels, The Forsyte Saga, both playing at the Swan Theatre later in the year, with the former also going on tour. The RSC is also staging plays in the West End and recently announced the UK premiere of Liz Duffy Adams's Born With Teeth, which will play at Wyndham's Theatre, previewing on August 13 with a final performance on November 1. The production follows rival playwrights Christopher Marlowe, played by Doctor Who's Ncuti Gatwa, and Shakespeare, played by Killing Eve's Edward Bluemel.
