In Montecito, among meticulously maintained gardens and the calm of the Californian Pacific, a new and surprising friendship has formed that hasn't left anyone indifferent. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, have opened the doors of their home to Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz.
Many already consider this gesture as an emotional and social alliance with a hint of family rupture. Far from being a dinner among celebrities, the meeting has uncovered an unexpected affinity and, it seems, an uncomfortable situation for David and Victoria Beckham.
Latest news confirmed about Meghan Markle and Brooklyn Beckham
It all began with an informal evening at the Sussex mansion. An intimate dinner that, far from being superficial, became a space for confidences and complicity. Meghan Markle and Nicola Peltz, it seems, connected immediately through a deep conversation.
Both have been publicly pointed out as the "guilty" ones for family estrangements. Meghan, for her break with the British Royal Family, and Nicola, for the supposed cooling between Brooklyn and his parents.
This exchange of experiences not only reinforced the empathy between them but also consolidated a bond with the potential to endure. So much so that, according to close sources, there was an exchange of phone numbers at the end of the evening.
In Harry's case, his closeness with Brooklyn would have been particularly natural. Sharing not only the fact of having grown up under media pressure but also the recent experience of tensions with their respective families.
From Megxit to Beckxit
Meanwhile, this rapprochement would have had an opposite effect on the Beckhams. The recent absence of Brooklyn and Nicola at David Beckham's 50th birthday celebration raised suspicions about a possible deeper estrangement.
This adds to an already deteriorated relationship between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Beckham couple. Especially after past accusations of leaks to the press that would have eroded the trust between them.
While in the United Kingdom tensions between Harry and his family remain unsolved, in California it seems the Sussexes have found new allies. Although calm reigns in Montecito, this budding friendship could rekindle old resentments in London.
