They are said to have bonded over ‘fallouts’ with their in-laws.
And now The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have hired the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s lawyer to help them with their ‘reputation management’.
Last week, the couple, who have reportedly fallen out with his parents David and Victoria, instructed Jenny Afia, the British solicitor who works for Schillings law firm.
It is understood that there was a referral from the Duchess of Sussex after she and Harry met Brooklyn and Nicola at a party in Montecito, California, three weeks ago as guests of Brian Robbins, chief executive at Paramount Pictures.
Ms Afia’s appointment has prompted ‘much amusement’, it is claimed, among the Beckhams, as Posh and Becks fell out with Harry some years ago after they were accused by the couple of leaking stories.
A source familiar with the rift told the MoS: ‘You couldn’t really make it up, first Brooklyn and Nicola cosy up together and realise they have quite a lot in common, and then all of a sudden they have enlisted the help of the Sussexes’ long-serving lawyer.
‘Nicola and Brooklyn are getting fed up of stories running they don’t like. Nicola likes to control everything and they have taken this rather drastic action.

‘For the Beckhams the irony isn’t lost. They fell out with Meghan and Harry after they accused them of leaking stories – they were furious and Brooklyn knows that.
‘The two couples are very close indeed.’
The feud began in the run-up to Brooklyn and Nicola’s extravagant Palm Beach wedding in April 2022.
But it came to a head during David’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year when, despite travelling to London, Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t attend a big family party at the Beckhams’ Cotswolds home, an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill Michelin-starred restaurant, Core.
Brooklyn, 26, also missed a ‘boys fishing trip’ to the Scottish Highlands with his father and his younger brothers Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, as well as a pre-birthday bash at Miami restaurant Cipriani at the end of March.
