Reason William and Kate turned down Brooklyn Beckham wedding invite as Harry and Meghan snubbed

Just over a year ago David Beckham’s eldest son Brooklyn got married to Nicola Peltz in a star-studded ceremony in Florida.

But despite his dad's royal connections, none of the Fab Four made it to the wedding which reportedly cost £3million.

Prince William and wife Kate, now the Prince and Princess of Wales declined the Beckham's invite, despite dad David and mum Victoria attending their wedding in 2011.

Prince Harry and Meghan, who also had David and Victoria as wedding guests in 2018, were not even invited to Brooklyn’s bash to see him get hitched to billionaire heiress Nicola.

The Beckhams were reported to have agonised over which royal couple to choose because of the alleged rift between William and Harry, who now lives in California with former actress Meghan and children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

In the end they plumped for William and Kate because of their long history of friendship.

A source close to the Beckhams said: “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.”

The source claimed Prince William and Kate was always the Beckhams’ choice, as opposed to rumoured guests Harry and Meghan, but cited security as one of the factors in the Cambridges not attending.

“David’s attachment and history go back with William and Kate and they have a very strong relationship and they were their choice of wedding guests,” said our source.

“It was always about them, it was never about Meghan and Harry.

“They are the people David and Victoria are attached to and it’s always been about them because they’ve had a long history together.”

Other guests include TV chef Gordon Ramsay, Spice Girls Mel B and Emma Bunton, tennis ace Serena Williams and Victoria Beckham’s close friend, Eva Longoria.

Model Gigi Hadid, US reality star Nicole Ritchie, Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie, American footballer Tom Brady and his supermodel wife Gisele Bündchen – as well as David’s football pals Dave Gardner, Gary Neville and his brother Phil.
