Prince Harry walks past Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz amid 'feud' with Beckhams

An awkward moment occurred at a Los Angeles soccer match when Prince Harry walked straight past Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz amid speculation of a feud between the Sussexes and the Beckham family.

The Duke of Sussex joined Leonardo DiCaprio in a star-studded crowd as he watched Lionel Messi lead Inter Miami, which is co-owned by David Beckham, to a 3-1 win in Los Angeles.

In footage shared on social media, Prince Harry is seen walking through a lobby at the BMO Stadium to his VIP box while fans cheer and call out his name.

The royal is seen walking past Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, who appears to look straight ahead seemingly unaware of his presence.

It is unclear if Brooklyn, Nicola and Prince Harry saw each other, but the uncomfortable interaction has fuelled further speculation that the Beckhams have been “Markled”.

Last month it was revealed that David and Victoria Beckham’s friendship with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry was over amid claims of royal story leaks.

The Sun previously reported how Prince Harry confronted the soccer superstar, suggesting he or wife Victoria were responsible for leaks about the royal couple.

Sources say David Beckham was left “absolutely bloody furious” after the accusations were made in a phone call.

Prince Harry and Meghan were not present when Brooklyn married Nicola last year, despite David and Victoria attending the royal wedding in 2018.

Meghan was also on the VIP list for the game – but was nowhere to be seen.

Prince Harry was also joined by British celebrities Gerard Butler, Tom Holland and Liam Gallagher.

Somewhere among the throngs of former British working royals and Hollywood A-listers including Leo DiCaprio, Owen Wilson, Selena Gomez and Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis were a trio of Australians who are very acquainted with being screamed at in a sold-out stadium.

The members of our Grammy-winning electronic chartslayers Rufus Du Sol were listed among the celebrities who watched Messi’s Inter Miami win 3-1 against the LAFC.

The Rufus Du Sol lads - Jon George, James Hunt and Tyrone Lindqvist who formed in southern Sydney in 2010 - sold out three concerts in 2021 at the same BMO Stadium which hosted the star-studded Major Soccer League match on the weekend.

REASON HARRY AND MEGHAN WILL ‘NEVER RETURN TO UK’

Meghan Markle will not want to return to the UK in the future as she would have to curtsy to Princess of Wales when Prince William becomes king, a royal biographer has claimed.

Andrew Morton, who collaborated with Diana, Princess of Wales on his 1992 book Diana: Her True Story, ruled out a move back from the US for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Asked whether he thought the Sussexes would ever move back to Britain, Morton told Sky News’ Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: “What, and have Meghan Markle curtsying to Kate Middleton? I don’t think so. I don’t see that as a runner. They’ve got their own lives in California.

“They’ve got their own set, they’ve got their own influence, and they’ve got their own companies.”

According to royal protocol, Meghan would only have to curtsy to Catherine once the princess becomes Queen.

It comes after scathing revelations about the breakdown of the relationship between the royal brothers and their wives, who were once dubbed the Fab Four.

In his explosive memoir Spare, Prince Harry wrote that Prince William and Catherine’s frustration at Meghan went beyond the infamous bridesmaid dress feud.

During his television interview with journalist Tom Bradby to promote his memoir, Prince Harry claimed his brother and sister-in-law didn’t get along with Meghan from the beginning.

He said Prince William had once described Meghan as “difficult, rude and abrasive” ahead of their “peace talks” meeting after the wedding.

“I don’t think they were expecting me to get into a relationship with someone like Meghan, someone with a very successful career,” Prince Harry said.

“Some of the ways my brother and sister and law were acting and behaving, that stereotype was causing a bit of a barrier: American, Actress, divorced.”

Prince Harry is set for a brief solo trip to London this week without Meghan to attend the WellChild awards on September 7, before he heads to the Invictus Games in Germany, where the Duchess will join him later.

He is not meeting his father, King Charles, who is reported to have no time in his diary, or his brother the Prince of Wales.

In his new Netflix series about the Invictus Games, Heart of Invictus, Prince Harry again covered his traumatic childhood, slamming the royals for their “lack of support” after tragic death of his mother in 1997.

“I didn’t have that support structure, that network, or that expert advice to identify what was actually going on with me,” he said.
