Harry and Meghan scrutinized over Brooklyn Beckham's attack on his parents

"As Prince Harry testified in a London Court Wednesday, getting tearful about the misery his wife, Meghan Markle, suffered at the hands of negative coverage by the Daily Mail, that U.K. tabloid and other publications were questioning whether he and Meghan had a role in Brooklyn Beckham's decision to publicly lambast his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, and to blow up his relationship with them."

"So, no one is saying that Harry and Meghan actively encouraged their young friend, Brooklyn Beckham, to launch a social media tirade against his father and mother Monday in which he said he had no wish to reconcile with them while accusing them of controlling him his entire life and of trying to ruin his marriage to Nicola Peltz. But multiple publications have addressed the growing friendship between the California-based Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the younger celebrity couple."

"And, they noted the obvious similarities in the narratives of Harry and Brooklyn. Forty-one-year-old Harry, like 26-year-old Brooklyn, became estranged from his prominent British family after marrying a glamorous American actress, whom he claims received a cold welcome. Harry, like Brooklyn, also decamped to the United States in an effort to get away from a global family brand that he found oppressive."
