Amidst a publicized family feud, reports have emerged suggesting that Prince Harry is mentoring Brooklyn Beckham. This mentorship comes in the wake of Brooklyn's revelations about tensions with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.
Brooklyn Beckham, 26, recently aired his grievances in a lengthy Instagram post, alleging that his parents have attempted to undermine his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz, and have sought to control the media narrative surrounding the family. These claims have drawn comparisons to Prince Harry's own public separation from the Royal Family.
Sources indicate that Prince Harry, 41, sees parallels between his experiences and Brooklyn's situation. An insider told Rob Shuter, a journalist, that Harry doesn't want Brooklyn to repeat the "emotional and strategic mistakes he made when he first broke away". To that end, Harry has reportedly offered both personal and professional guidance to Brooklyn, advising him to carefully consider the timing and tone of his public statements. One piece of advice was for Brooklyn to "not burn everything at once" and to carefully consider how he tells his story.
Interestingly, Harry has apparently encouraged Brooklyn to write a tell-all book. He reportedly connected Brooklyn with his own publisher and suggested framing the book as "reclaiming his voice" rather than seeking revenge. This advice comes with a warning, however. Harry, having experienced the fallout from his own memoir, Spare, cautioned Brooklyn that "the freedom is real – but so is the fallout. You lose people. You get misunderstood. And once it's out there, you can't take it back".
The relationship between the Sussexes and the Beckhams has seen its ups and downs. There was a period of estrangement after Meghan Markle suspected Victoria Beckham of leaking stories to the press, an accusation that was later deemed baseless. Despite this, Brooklyn and Nicola have seemingly rekindled a friendship with Harry and Meghan, even attending the same party in Montecito.
While Brooklyn has allegedly sought counsel from Prince Harry, he has publicly expressed admiration for Prince William. In 2024, when asked which member of the Royal Family he saw most often growing up, Brooklyn stated it was Prince William, describing him as "the sweetest guy ever...really down to earth...really [a] good guy".
As the Beckham family drama unfolds, Prince Harry's reported mentorship of Brooklyn adds another layer to the narrative. Whether Brooklyn will heed Harry's advice remains to be seen, but the parallels between their experiences are undeniable. Meanwhile, other members of the Beckham family are navigating the situation in their own ways. Romeo Beckham, for example, recently walked in Paris Fashion Week, receiving public support from his mother, Victoria, and brother, Cruz. David and Victoria Beckham are also looking back on great memories.
