Brooklyn Beckham makes subtle dig at Prince Harry as he shares family's royal loyalties

2 weeks ago 3

Brooklyn Beckham has revealed which member of the Royal Family the Beckhams encountered "the most often" during an appearance on a talk show this week.

As national treasures themselves, former footballer David and fashion powerhouse Victoria are understood to be long-term friends with members of the Royal Family. The couple, who have both been awarded an OBE, have received invitations to numerous royal events over the years.

The duo's eldest son Brooklyn, 25, discussed his family's royal connection during an interview on 'Watch What Happens Live!' on Monday night. The star appeared on the American show alongside actor Zachary Quinto.

Host Andy Cohen read out a viewer's question about which members of the Royal Family Brooklyn saw most often as a child.

He said: "Growing up, which members of the Royal Family did you see the most often, especially since your family is friends with Harry and Meghan?"

Despite the suggestion of a connection with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Brooklyn made no mention of his parents' former friends Meghan and Harry and instead praised William.

The star admitted: "Probably William, yeah."

Andy then asked: "What's he like? Is there something about him that people don't get? Is he fun?"

Brooklyn responded by showering King Charles' eldest son with praise. He gushed: "He's just like the sweetest guy ever. He really is," adding "He's really down to earth. He's really [a] good guy."

David and Victoria have enjoyed close ties with the Royal Family for a number of years, even attending two royal weddings. The pair were guests at Prince William's nuptials to Princess Kate in 2011, and later attended Prince Harry and Meghan's 2018 wedding at Windsor Castle.

The Beckhams then returned the favour in 2022 by inviting Prince William and Princess Catherine to to Brooklyn's wedding to Nicola Peltz in Florida. It is understood that the family 'agonised' over whether to invite the Duke and Duchess of Sussex or the Prince and Princess of Wales, given an alleged rift between the two couples.

The family ultimately chose Prince William and Princess Catherine due to their long friendship.

A source revealed last year: "David and Victoria wrote to William and Kate inviting them and the family to their son's wedding, and William replied wishing them a great deal of joy but they are unable to attend."
