Brooklyn Beckham Highlights Rift with Sussexes

Prince William's recent trip to South Africa concluded with the announcement of Earthshot Prize 2024 winners and the appointment of David Beckham's former PR chief, Victoria Shires, as his new Head of Communications. Meanwhile, Brooklyn Beckham's appearance on Watch What Happens Live highlighted a rumored rift between the Beckhams and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In the interview, Brooklyn praised Prince William, describing him as 'the sweetest guy ever,' while notably omitting mention of Harry and Meghan, suggesting a distancing from the Sussexes. This alleged rift reportedly began in 2018 when Meghan accused Victoria Beckham of leaking stories to the press. The Beckhams' relationship with the royal family has been complex, as evidenced by their attendance at William and Kate's wedding but the absence of Harry and Meghan from Brooklyn's wedding in 2022. The ongoing dynamics suggest a closer bond between the Beckhams and Prince William over the Sussexes.
