EXCLUSIVE Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz hire Duke and Duchess of Sussex's lawyer to help with 'reputation management amid family rift
They are said to have bonded over 'fallouts' with their in-laws. And now The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have hired the Duke and Duchess of Sussex 's lawyer to help them with their 'reputation management'. Last week, the couple, who have reportedly fallen out with his parents David and Victoria, instructed Jenny Afia, the British solicitor who works for Schillings law firm. It is understood that there was a referral from the Duchess of Sussex after she and Harry met Brooklyn and Nicola at a party in Montecito, California, three weeks ago as guests of Brian Robbins, chief executive at Paramount Pictures. Ms Afia's appointment has prompted 'much amusement', it is claimed, among the Beckhams, as Posh and Becks fell out with Harry some years ago after they were accused by the couple of leaking stories. A source familiar with the rift told the MoS: 'You couldn't really make it up, first Brooklyn and Nicola cosy up together and realise they have quite a lot in common, and then 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.' The feud began in the run-up to Brooklyn and Nicola's extravagant Palm Beach wedding in April 2022. But it came to a head during David's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year when, despite travelling to London, Brooklyn and Nicola didn't attend a big family party at the Beckhams ' Cotswolds home, an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill Michelin-starred restaurant, Core. Brooklyn, 26, also missed a 'boys fishing trip' to the Scottish Highlands with his father and his younger brothers Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, as well as a pre-birthday bash at Miami restaurant Cipriani at the end of March.

What Harry and Meghan told Brooklyn and Nicola (probably)
Of course! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have declared for Team Peltz-Beckham and, in recent weeks, hosted Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, for dinner at their Montecito mansion. It's a very significant moment. Huge. There's a lot of juggling going on in the Sussex mansion and they do not open up their sanctuary to any old billionaires in trouble. And the Peltz-Beckhams (also up to the eyeballs with social media deadlines and wardrobe decisions) came all the way from Los Angeles; 90 minutes away in a chauffeur-driven car. What's this all about? Are you kidding? Brooklyn Beckham is estranged from his very high-profile family in the UK for reasons that remain murky — but are 100 per cent to do with his

William's plan for Harry, Meghan after BBC interview: ‘Renewed urgency'
IN LONDON Prince William will reportedly move swiftly to strip Prince Harry and Meghan of their HRH titles once he ascends the throne. Sources close to the Prince of Wales opened up to the The Daily Beast about the ongoing rift, with one friend describing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's behaviour as 'absolutely vile'. They added that Harry's recent bombshell interview with the BBC, which came hot on the heels of his court loss over his UK security detail, proved that 'he has no interest in reconciling.' 'If he did, a period of silence would have been the right thing to do. The HRHs will go,' the insider added. William's plans to strip his brother and sister-in-law of their 'His/Her Royal Highness' titles has been reported for some time, but a source told the publication that the plan has now 'gained renewed urgency' following Harry's interview, in which he touched upon his father's health. 'I would love reconciliation with my family,' he told the BBC, explaining: 'There's no point in continuing to fight any more … I don't know how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff.' The remarks about King Charles, who has been battling cancer, was found to be in particularly 'poor taste' among the royal circle, according to the UK's Telegraph. While the King is understood to be reluctant to provoke any further issues with Harry and Meghan, William has no such qualms – and believes the pair are 'loose ends' who must be 'completely cut off' from the institution. 'He has no direct contact with Harry anymore, so it will be a clean break,' a former courtier told the Daily Beast. 'And the chaos of a royal succession is always a good moment to make decisive changes. It will be among the first things he will do.'
