More info Amid rumours of Brooklyn Beckham and his American wife Nicola Peltz clashing with his parents David and Victoria, parallels are being drawn to Prince Harry's estrangement from the Royal Family. While the Princess of Wales has stayed silent on the Beckham family tensions – as well as the apparent strain between her husband Prince William and his brother – some believe she's subtly shown solidarity with Victoria Beckham. Daily Mail journalist Charlotte Griffiths is convinced that Kate Middleton's choice of a khaki trouser suit by Victoria Beckham for a recent fashion event was a deliberate show of support for the beleaguered designer.

She was wearing a Victoria Beckham outfit. It was a khaki suit in her new muted tones – she wears a lot of sort of greens and neutrals and and maroons now – but it was a Victoria Beckham suit and I love a conspiracy." Notably, this was the first occasion the princess has worn a garment from Victoria Beckham's line, prompting Charlotte to add, "I think she was sending a message of support to Victoria Beckham." Charlotte speculated on the podcast: "Victoria Beckham is going through a sort of Megxit drama of her own which people are calling Becksit ... so I just wonder whether that suit was her being on team VB."

However, her decision to wear this particular Victoria Beckham £1,340 trouser suit has been widely interpreted as a show of support for Victoria. Kensington Palace officially stated that Kate wore the outfit to demonstrate her support for British designers in general, but Charlotte suggested: "If they were really thinking in PR terms, she might have deliberately not worn Victoria Beckham – in this week of all weeks." Charlotte conceded, "It was a b****y good suit," but speculated that someone may have advised Kate, 'Look, this one's Victoria Beckham. She's in the papers a lot this week. Are you sure, your Royal highness, that you want to wear Victoria Beckham?' to which she would have responded, 'Yes'.

According to Charlotte, Nicola Peltz Beckham, Brooklyn's wife, has formed a friendship with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex: "The story that broke today was that Meghan and Nicola have chatted about this, have discussed this. "The two couples had a dinner together at Meghan and Harry's house in Montecito and they've actually come together as the ousted parties."
