Meghan Markle and Prince Harry hosted a dinner including Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz
Beckham and Peltz are rumored to be having “tensions” with the Beckhams
The dinner was held at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Montecito, Calif. home
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry hosted Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz for dinner in their Montecito, Calif., home amid tensions within the Beckham family, PEOPLE confirms.
PEOPLE understands it was a group dinner held at Meghan and Harry’s home, and the couple were not directly invited by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
“Brooklyn and Nicola were invited prior to David’s numerous global birthday galas, so the timing is pure coincidence,” a source exclusively tells PEOPLE.
The source elaborated, “While it was an intimate gathering, there were several additional guests, including VIPs and film executives. Brooklyn and Nicola had a wonderful time and found Harry and Meghan to be particularly kind, caring and generous.”
The Sun was first to report news of the dinner.
A source previously told PEOPLE, “There are tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and the family.”
Beckham, 26, and Peltz, 30, have been noticeably absent from the Beckham family’s recent functions, including David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebration, despite being invited, PEOPLE confirmed.
The insider added at the time, “The relationship is definitely not beyond repair. They love and are always there for him. They’re just hurt and disappointed that he’s now playing no part in family life.”
Amid the alleged family tension, Meghan and Harry’s sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, wore a tailored suit designed by Victoria Beckham to a British Fashion Council event in London on Wednesday, May 13.
The dinner comes amid ongoing tension within Prince Harry’s own family. He and Meghan remain estranged from the royals. During a candid May 2 interview with the BBC, Harry revealed that his father, King Charles, “won’t speak” to him — and admitted he doesn’t know “how long [his father] has” as the monarch continues cancer treatment. Still, Harry expressed a desire to mend fences, saying, “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore.”
After the alleged tensions within the Beckham family were revealed, Lexi Wood of Summer House called David and Victoria, 51, “the coolest” when reflecting on her 2018 relationship with Brooklyn. On the May 7 episode of The Viall Files, Wood said the Beckhams were a “beautiful family” and the “nicest” throughout their relationship.

Brooklyn claimed his father helped inspire his love of racing when he was “very young.”
“It’s something that me and my dad bonded over. My dad’s had some pretty cool cars,” Brooklyn said, adding that he collects them with his favorite being a “1954 Jaguar, which I very rarely drive, only when the weather’s perfect.”
