Will the Peltz-Beckhams find sanctuary in the Sussex squad? Meghan's pal Mindy Kaling shouts out Brooklyn's hot sauce - after Duke and Duchess 'held Beckxit summit'
The Office star Mindy Kaling has shouted out Brooklyn Beckham 's hot sauce as it appears he and wife Nicola Peltz have support from within the Sussex squad amid the ongoing Beckham family feud.
Mindy, 45, is part of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 's inner circle in California, with the Emmy winner having received one of the Duchess' first ever jars of strawberry jam back in 2023.
The actress also appeared on her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, that was released earlier this year as their 'I'm Sussex now' interaction quickly became one of the series' biggest talking points.
On Thursday, Mindy took to Instagram to promote Brooklyn's Cloud 23 range of hot sauces - weeks after Harry and Meghan's 'Beckxit summit' at their Montecito mansion where they expressed 'unwavering support' for Brooklyn and Nicola.
Mindy snapped a photo of the Sweet Jalapeno and Hot Habanero sauces and captioned it 'These are so delicious' while tagging both Brooklyn and Cloud 23's official Instagram handles.
She is not following either Brooklyn or Nicola who, in turn, are not among Mindy's followers.
Mindy's post about Cloud23 comes after it was reported that the Duke and Duchess invited Brooklyn and Nicola for a VIP soiree at their home in California amid the younger couple's falling out with David and Victoria Beckham.
At the time, a source claimed that Nicola, 31, and Meghan had a 'deep and meaningful' chat and formed a bond after being accused by critics of being 'homewreckers' and wives who 'tear apart their husbands' families'.
They also reportedly clicked over their 'similar family feuds', insiders have said.
Soon after, however, a pro-Sussex source distanced Harry and Meghan from the Peltz-Beckhams while claiming they were not 'directly invited' to the VIP soiree at the royal couple's home.
They added that the timing of the so-called 'Beckxit summit' against the backdrop of the Beckham family rift was 'pure coincidence'.
Citing a source close to Harry and Meghan, People reported that 'Brooklyn and Nicola were not directly invited by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex', suggesting the couple were asked to be there by a mutual friend or intermediary.
The meal was for a larger group of VIPs including TV and media executives.
'Brooklyn and Nicola - who live 90 minutes away from Harry and Meghan in LA - were invited prior to David's numerous global birthday galas, so the timing is pure coincidence,' an insider later told MailOnline.
'While it was an intimate gathering, there were several additional guests, including VIPs and film executives. Brooklyn and Nicola had a wonderful time and found Harry and Meghan to be particularly kind, caring and generous'.
The Montecito dinner would likely infuriate David and Victoria Beckham who are said to have fallen out with the Sussexes in a row over allegations of leaking stories to the press.
When news of the 'Beckxit summit' first broke, a source claimed that 'Brooklyn and Nicola had a wonderful time and found Harry and Meghan to be particularly kind, caring and generous'.
The Duchess of Sussex 'has a lot of sympathy for her' because both women have been branded 'homewreckers', another source familiar with the dinner said - adding 'there was shared common ground'.
'Nicola and Meghan also had a bit of a 'deep n' meaningful' as obviously both women have been positioned in the media as homewreckers - the women to tear apart their husbands' families.
'Harry and Meghan were very empathetic and very kind to them both. Harry was fully aware of the situation and offered Brooklyn his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar'.
The Sussexes have apparently swapped mobile numbers with the couple amid the fallout with Brooklyn's family being dubbed Beckxit after Harry and Meghan's estrangement from the British Royal Family.
David and Victoria, 51, are currently 'heartbroken' over the family feud after Brooklyn and Nicola were a noticeable no-show at the footballer's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this month.
They were also absent from the former Spice Girl's birthday bash and, while his other brothers Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, took to social media to pay their birthday tributes to their parents, on both occasions Brooklyn stayed silent.
It comes after Brooklyn and Nicola skipped a number of Beckham family gatherings, with MailOnline's Katie Hind reporting David and Victoria are 'done with' the American billionaire heiress.
In addition to missing David and Posh Spice's birthday parties, Nicola and Brooklyn bailed on the big family party at David and Victoria's Cotswolds home, an idyllic trip to France, and were also notably absent from a meal at Notting Hill restaurant, Core.
Brooklyn also sat out a 'boys'' fishing trip with his brothers to the Scottish Highlands that his dad organised six months ago.
Keen for the feud to remain quiet, it was claimed they didn't attend that one due to work commitments. Rightly or wrongly, the Beckhams blame Nicola.
'She won't change and Brooklyn's parents are absolutely furious. They are done with her. Nicola seems to be well and truly done with them too so it's a case of long-term estrangement,' said the source.
'The Beckhams feel that this has been going on since Nicola and Brooklyn married.'
In what has now become one of the family's last few appearances together, the Beckham clan celebrated the launch of Brooklyn's £15 hot sauce at a Whole Foods in London last year.
Brooklyn paid tribute to his footballer father by naming the condiments - that were launched last year in October - after David's squad number at Real Madrid and, then, LA Galaxy.
Unable to contain his pride, David sweetly planted a kiss on his eldest son's cheek as Brooklyn unveiled his cooking venture - while his mother, Victoria, posed for photos with one arm lovingly wrapped around his shoulders.
In recent months, however, his relationship with his parents appears to have become strained as Brooklyn vowed to 'always choose' his wife in the midst of what is believed to be an escalating feud.
in a recent Instagram post, the influencer and aspiring chef pledged his unwavering loyalty to Nicola - as he vowed 'me and you forever'.
Alongside a video of Brooklyn and Nicola enjoying an early morning motorbike ride, he wrote: ''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.'
