Controlling Nicola Peltz is next Meghan Markle – Brooklyn has chosen wife over family just like Harry, expert says
AN EXPERT has likened the Beckham’s ongoing family feud to that of the royals’ – suggesting Harry and Brooklyn have chosen their wives over their families.
Commentator Samara Gill and Sun royal photographer Arthur Edwards drew comparisons between the two feuding families on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive Show.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are understood to be supporting Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz amid their family row — and had dinner with them last week.
The quartet dined at the Sussexes’ mansion in Montecito, California, just days after Brooklyn skipped all of his dad David’s 50th birthday celebrations.
In this week’s Sun Royal show, Royal Exclusive Matt Wilkinson described the Beckham conflict as a “Megxit-esque family rift.”
Royal commentator Samara Gill said: “He’s definitely trying to distance himself from the family.”
The rift began when Brooklyn did not attend the 50th birthday party of his father, David.
This was supposedly due to an ongoing dispute between his wife, Nicola Peltz, and his mum, Victoria, and was exacerbated by brother Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull being in attendance.
Tensions worsened again earlier this week after Brooklyn also failed to attend Romeo’s 21st birthday.
After marrying into the Peltz family on 9 April 2022, Brooklyn relocated to America – his wife’s home country.
Now living in America, Brooklyn has become increasingly distant from his British roots.
Growing up in the Beckham family, Brooklyn made the most of the family’s impressive wealth and connections, with Samara describing him as “the poster child for being a nepo baby.”
Over the years, Brooklyn has frequently been mocked for his failed career attempts.
In 2017, Brooklyn published the photography book What I See to a largely negative response.
He faced similar backlash when he hosted the online video series ‘Cookin’ With Brooklyn’, as fans slammed his lack of experience in a show that reportedly cost £74,000 per episode.
All of these passion projects were enthusiastically supported by his parents, who have a reported wealth of £500million according to The Sunday Times Rich List.
According to Samara, even this wasn’t enough, as he has been enjoying the wealth of Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson Peltz.
Nelson is the co-founder of Trian Partners, an investment management fund, and the non-executive chairman of Wendy’s Company, Sysco and The Madison Square Garden Company.
Samara said: “I think he’s chosen the money, personally. That’s just a speculation.”
Arthur Edwards said: “I don’t know why he didn’t go to his father’s party.
“I think he should have been there.”
Praising David Beckham for his support of his “toy boy” son, Arthur added: “I think family is everything.”
Comparisons between Nicola and Meghan have been made by the public, with both women being branded as “controlling.”
American-born Nicola, like Meghan, has “taken away Britain’s finest men” according to Samara.
This is a problem that is all-too-familiar for Harry, with the former royals reportedly offering support to the Peltz Beckhams.
The couples are said to have “found a lot of common ground” after a meeting at the Sussexes’ Montecito mansion.
In another Sun Exclusive, a source familiar with the event said: “Harry and Meghan were very empathetic and very kind to them both.”
Apparently Nicola and Meghan found they had lots in common, with both being accused of wrecking their husbands’ families.
The meeting had been arranged before the Beckham family fallout, with the pair were allegedly grateful for the support.
Victoria and Meghan also have a tense past, falling out in 2020 after Meghan accused Victoria of leaking stories about her.
