Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hosted a dinner party that included Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, amidst ongoing tensions with the royal family. What made this gathering unique was the star power on display. Staged far from the couple’s Montecito mansion, it raised eyebrows and led to questions about their closeness, or lack thereof.
The dinner party was to welcome about 20 guests. This directly contradicted previous stories that painted the get together as a secret, one-on-one “summit” for only the two couples. These claims were thoroughly refuted by different outlets soon after the attacks, explaining that the attack was only one small part of a larger event. Emily Nash highlighted this clarification, stating, “I think we need to clarify as well, it wasn’t just the two couples. They were there as part of a dinner party of about 20 people.”
Only two weeks prior to the dinner, Prince Harry had recorded a surprise interview with the BBC. In the interview, he called for reconciliation with his family. The timing of this particular interview is what really turned heads. Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz are still working through the fallout from a very public feud between Harry’s family members. Critics had argued that the dinner achieved the opposite of its intent. They believe the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were looking to redirect attention from the fallout of Harry’s frank comments.
Reports later trumpeted that meeting as mischaracterized by The Sun as having been held in Harry and Meghan’s basement. Shortly after, a spokesperson admitted that claim was false, stoking even more fire around the event’s true nature.
Robert Jobson put it well, referring to the only-time event as a “victims summit.” He, too, challenged the surface-level interactions underneath all of this. He stated, “It was a victims summit. I thought it was a bit daft. It’s again sending messages out. I don’t know how friendly they are.”
Moreover, links between David Beckham and Paramount have apparently emerged in conversations about the shaping of the get-together. As one observer noted, “We know David Beckham has connections with Paramount,” illustrating the intertwined relationships among these celebrities.
Zara Tindall’s recent appearance at a Buckingham Palace garden party alongside the Prince and Princess of Wales adds to the ongoing narrative of familial ties and public appearances. This context adds complexity to the relationships within this inner circle, especially considering the recent developments.
