Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stunned fans once again—this time by hosting an intimate yet star-studded gathering at their luxurious Montecito mansion. But what truly has people talking is why Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were specifically invited—and the emotional reason behind it is sending shockwaves across Hollywood and royal circles alike.
According to a source close to the Sussexes, the get-together was far from just another social event. “While it was an intimate gathering, there were several additional guests, including VIPs and film executives,” the insider told PEOPLE. But what caught everyone’s attention was the special bond forming between the Sussexes and the Beckhams.
“Brooklyn and Nicola had a wonderful time and found Harry and Meghan to be particularly kind, caring and generous,” the source revealed. This wasn’t just casual hospitality. The meeting was orchestrated with care—and a heartfelt purpose that has now been brought to light.
As it turns out, Prince Harry reached out to Brooklyn Beckham not just as a fellow celebrity, but as someone who has personally endured the weight of fame from birth. A source told The Sun that Harry “was fully aware of the situation” Brooklyn is facing, and “offered his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar.”
This show of solidarity has sparked waves of reaction, especially in light of a viral opinion piece by Celebrity Big Brother star Liz Jones. Writing for DailyMail, Jones didn’t hold back when she drew parallels between the young Beckham and the Duke of Sussex.
“Harry and Brooklyn’s trajectories are eerily similar and proof that privilege is a double-edged sword,” she wrote. Her commentary has added fuel to the conversation about the dark side of growing up under constant public scrutiny—something both Harry and Brooklyn know all too well.
“Both have been famous since birth. Both have faced ridicule online and in print,” Jones noted. “Neither will surpass the achievements of their fathers – one the King of England and the other of English football.”
While such comparisons may seem harsh, they strike a chord. Prince Harry, now 40, has often spoken about his struggles with mental health and finding his place in the world. Brooklyn, 14 years younger, appears to be navigating similar waters, experimenting with careers in modeling, photography, and more recently, cookery.

This shared experience appears to be the foundation of the growing friendship between the couples. It’s no secret that Harry and Meghan have stepped away from royal duties to live life on their own terms. Could they now be mentoring the next generation of celebrity children trying to do the same?
Some insiders say yes. The Montecito event may have been part of a broader effort by the Sussexes to build a community of like-minded public figures who understand the emotional toll of the spotlight. And by all accounts, Brooklyn and Nicola are now part of that circle.
Fans are buzzing about the new connection. Social media has been flooded with speculation about whether this means more public appearances, joint ventures, or even potential collaborations between the Sussexes and the Beckhams.
But not everyone is convinced. Critics argue that aligning with younger celebrity couples could be a strategic move by Harry and Meghan to maintain relevance in Hollywood’s fast-paced social scene. Still, others believe it’s a genuine attempt to build meaningful relationships beyond royal ties.
Regardless of the motivation, one thing is clear: the Sussexes are redefining what it means to be royal in the modern age—one intimate gathering at a time.
And as for Brooklyn and Nicola? They’ve found unexpected allies in Meghan and Harry, who know firsthand the pressures of growing up famous—and the power of empathy when the cameras are off.
In a world where privilege and pain often walk hand in hand, this surprising friendship might just be the most relatable royal moment yet.
