David and Victoria Beckham Reportedly Upset by Brooklyn Beckham's Friendship with the Sussexes

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham are “furious” with estranged son Brooklyn Beckham for striking up a friendship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Life & Style has exclusively learned.

“This is an absolute nightmare for Victoria and David. It’s put them in an incredibly awkward position, especially given how close they are to Prince William and Kate Middleton,” an insider claims. “And of course, as everyone knows, there’s a lot of bad blood between Victoria and Meghan so this is just a huge slap in the face and it’s being seen as a major family betrayal.”

The source continues, “As much as they’d like to read Brooklyn the riot act, they’re a bit hamstrung when it comes to how much they can say because they know it could be filtered back to Megan, but they’re both absolutely furious. Victoria is blaming Nicola [Peltz] and is convinced she’s behind this and is actually willing to let Brooklyn off the hook a little. But David isn’t being nearly so soft, he says Brooklyn knows exactly what he’s doing and doesn’t deserve any sort of leniency.”

The former soccer player, 50, says he’s “drawing a line in the sand and saying that if Brooklyn doesn’t cut this out immediately and admit the error in his way, he’s willing to give him a long period of isolation.”

What complicated matters further was the ongoing strain between Victoria, 51, and her daughter-in-law, Nicola, 30. What had started as subtle tension evolved into a full-on feud that showed no signs of easing. Since Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola’s wedding in 2022, rumors of a fractured relationship between the Beckham matriarch and her new daughter-in-law had dominated headlines. Insiders and fans alike noticed signs of strain, from body language at public events to the absence of direct mentions on social media.

One major issue had been the wedding itself. Victoria had reportedly felt excluded from key parts of the planning and sidelined during what should have been a milestone family event. Despite photo ops that suggested a happy occasion, it had been clear to many that Victoria and Nicola were not close.

In the months that followed, the rift widened. Rumors swirled that Victoria believed that Nicola was driving a wedge between Brooklyn and the rest of the family. The most prominent whispers originated from claims that the former Spice Girl ruined her son Brooklyn and Nicola’s special wedding dance in 2022. However, Victoria is reportedly confused by the allegations.

“[The newlyweds] had their first dance and a second, as is evidenced, and then Nicola had the traditional dance with her father. Much later in the evening when Marc Anthony performed, lots of people got up to dance, and yes, finally, then Brooklyn and Victoria had a dance, as did David and his daughter Harper,” a source told Page Six in an article published on May 29. “Everyone is mystified why that would have upset Nicola.”

It was also revealed that Nicola and Brooklyn had choreographed a dance to the song Brooklyn’s dad, David, invited his wife to dance to, and the newlyweds had specifically chosen Marc’s “You Sang to Me” for their sweet moment in front of their guests.

The insider continued, “This was the special, romantic, big dance. This was a six-figure investment in the band. It was a lot of planning and different choreography for the evening to make sure this was going to be their big moment. Everyone in both families knew that, and [Victoria] chose to do this.”
