Kate Middleton's 'coded message for Victoria Beckham' as Brooklyn ‘feud' continues
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 Amid rumours of Brooklyn Beckham and his American wife Nicola Peltz clashing with his parents David and Victoria, parallels are being drawn to Prince Harry's estrangement from the Royal Family. While the Princess of Wales has stayed silent on the Beckham family tensions – as well as the apparent strain between her husband Prince William and his brother – some believe she's subtly shown solidarity with Victoria Beckham. Daily Mail journalist Charlotte Griffiths is convinced that Kate Middleton's choice of a khaki trouser suit by Victoria Beckham for a recent fashion event was a deliberate show of support for the beleaguered designer. (Image: Anadolu via Getty Images) On the Palace Confidential podcast, Charlotte had no doubt that there was significance to the outfit: "She was sending a message. She was wearing a Victoria Beckham outfit. It was a khaki suit in her new muted tones – she wears a lot of sort of greens and neutrals and and maroons now – but it was a Victoria Beckham suit and I love a conspiracy." Notably, this was the first occasion the princess has worn a garment from Victoria Beckham's line, prompting Charlotte to add, "I think she was sending a message of support to Victoria Beckham." Charlotte speculated on the podcast: "Victoria Beckham is going through a sort of Megxit drama of her own which people are calling Becksit ... so I just wonder whether that suit was her being on team VB." (Image: Samir Hussein, Samir Hussein/WireImagevia Getty Images) Kate's decision to wear a piece from a British designer for the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design was no surprise, given the event's celebration of the UK's creative industries. However, her decision to wear this particular Victoria Beckham £1,340 trouser suit has been widely interpreted as a show of support for Victoria. Kensington Palace officially stated that Kate wore the outfit to demonstrate her support for British designers in general, but Charlotte suggested: "If they were really thinking in PR terms, she might have deliberately not worn Victoria Beckham – in this week of all weeks." Charlotte conceded, "It was a b****y good suit," but speculated that someone may have advised Kate, 'Look, this one's Victoria Beckham. She's in the papers a lot this week. Are you sure, your Royal highness, that you want to wear Victoria Beckham?' to which she would have responded, 'Yes'. " (Image: Stefanie Keenan, Getty Images for Revolve) Meanwhile, over in California, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly siding with the other party in the feud dividing the "other British Royal family," the Beckhams. According to Charlotte, Nicola Peltz Beckham, Brooklyn's wife, has formed a friendship with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex: "The story that broke today was that Meghan and Nicola have chatted about this, have discussed this. "The two couples had a dinner together at Meghan and Harry's house in Montecito and they've actually come together as the ousted parties."

Kate Middleton's 'amazing' gesture to Victoria Beckham after 'ludicrous' allegations
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 Princess Kate's recent appearance in an ensemble from Victoria Beckham's Spring 2025 line at a fashion event underscored the "mutual respect" that exists between the designer and the future queen, according to insiders close to the Beckhams. At the British Fashion Council function, the Princess of Wales turned heads by selecting an olive green patch pocket blazer and matching trousers from Beckham's fresh collection while presenting Patrick McDowell with the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design. Insiders report it was 'really great' to see Princess Kate championing the label, noting her decision to showcase Beckham's design was entirely her own initiative.

The camaraderie extends to charitable efforts with both couples backing each other's initiatives, and with David Beckham and Prince William sharing a friendship, a sentiment of profound mutual admiration is evident. (Image: PA) The Beckham clan has been navigating through turbulent times lately, amid tales of a sorrowful dispute involving David and Victoria Beckham, their son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz. At a posh celebration in Notting Hill for David's milestone 50th birthday, eyebrows were raised when Brooklyn was conspicuously absent – adding fuel to the fire of speculation about disharmony in the family fold, reports the Mirror. Victoria is said to be "heartbroken" over the estrangement with her daughter-in-law, suggesting that Kate's show of solidarity for her fashion line might just be the lift she needs. Insiders close to the young couple reveal they made a trip to London in hopes of reconciling with Victoria and David during the birthday festivities, but allege that the iconic footballer and his pop star wife refused a private meeting. Meanwhile, allegations have erupted from Nicola's camp about "emotional abuse and toxic behaviour" within the Beckham household, leading to utter astonishment among those in the Beckhams' circle; one insider expressed being "open-mouthed" at the thought. A confidant of the Beckhams has dismissed the unflattering portrayal, saying, "I don't think anyone who has ever seen David and Victoria with their children would recognise this deeply unpleasant attack. It doesn't even warrant a response it's so ludicrous and patently untrue." Kate Middleton has been applauded for her continuous support of British fashion, and her ensemble at the BFC event was a nod to her commitment. A regal informant remarked on her appearance saying it was "a show of support for British fashion, which is a huge passion for the princess". Donning a stunning £1,340 suit, Kate captivated the award recipient Patrick, 29, who commented that the princess "looks incredible and is a real style icon". With his fresh approach to sustainable fashion, Patrick secured the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design, expressing his gratitude for the encouragement from the British Royal Family. "It's a huge privilege and honour. We try to make sustainable circular fashion and it's a real honour that the Royal Family and British Fashion Council has seen that and rewarding that today." Receiving the accolade from Kate was particularly meaningful for him as he believes, "Throughout her tenure she's been an amazing advocate of British fashion and really flies the flag for British fashion." Whilst browsing Patrick's temporary studio within 180 Studios' exhibition space, Kate came across a previously unseen design dubbed in her honour, prompting an amused reaction from her. Caroline Rush, the BFC's outgoing chief executive, pointed out to Kate a garment known as a 'Wales Bar', a custom-tailored women's jacket donning sleeves in a sleek black hue. Upon Kate's inquiry about its origin, Patrick responded: "I named it in your honour!".
