Prince Harry ‘warned Brooklyn Beckham to hold back’ amid claims of family rift after 2022 wedding
Prince Harry has reportedly offered private guidance to Brooklyn Beckham after the 26-year-old posted a series of public statements accusing his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, of undermining his marriage to Nicola Peltz. The reported advice centres on how to handle media attention and the potential consequences of taking family disputes into the public eye, as tensions linked to the couple’s 2022 wedding continue to make headlines.
Express reported that Prince Harry urged Brooklyn to show restraint and remember he “only get[s] one chance to tell your story the right way,” warning that once details are made public “there’s no taking it back.”
The report attributes the claims to Radar Online and quotes entertainment reporter Mr Rob Shuter, who cited a source saying Prince Harry sees similarities between Brooklyn’s situation and his own split from the Royal Family. The source was quoted as saying the Duke stressed that “honesty works best when it’s controlled, thoughtful, and human,” and cautioned that “the freedom is real — but so is the fallout.”
Brooklyn’s posts described efforts he says he made to keep matters private, while alleging his parents and their team continued to brief the press. He wrote that he did not want reconciliation and claimed his parents had tried to “ruin” his relationship since before the wedding, including allegations around wedding planning and pressure to sign away rights connected to his name; Britpop News has separately covered how Brooklyn Beckham’s feud has been compared to Prince Harry’s battle in terms of family fallouts playing out in public.
The reported mentoring, if accurate, underlines how public figures can become reference points for others navigating high-profile family disputes, especially when personal grievances intersect with social media and tabloid scrutiny. Neither Prince Harry nor representatives for the Beckhams were cited as commenting in the report.
