Brooklyn Beckham reveals what Prince William is REALLY like amid family’s rumored rift with Harry and Meghan
Brooklyn Beckham revealed what Prince William is really like on Monday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live – and snubbed Harry and Meghan in the process.
The 25-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham appeared on the show to discuss his friendship with Selena Gomez and hook up with his new hot sauce, but the conversation quickly turned to his famous family’s close friendship with the British royal family.
In recent years, the Beckhams have reportedly had a falling out with Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. So it’s no surprise that Brooklyn named the heir apparent, 42, the Royal he’s spent the most time with.
Host Andy Cohen, 56, said: “Which members of the royal family did you see most often growing up, especially since your family is friends with Harry and Meghan?
Beckham ignored the mention of the California-based Royals, replying, “Uhh, probably William,” while Cohen said, “Yeah? What is he like, is there something about him that people don’t understand? Is he nice?

Beckham added: ‘He’s just the sweetest man ever. He really is. He’s really down to earth. He’s a really good guy.
A stunned Cohen responded, “Wow.”
The alleged feud between the Beckhams and the Sussexes apparently dates back to 2018.
The row is said to have intensified when the Sussexes allegedly accused the Beckhams of leaking stories about them to the press, with royal biographers claiming Meghan ‘didn’t like the footballer’s friendship with Prince William’.
Fresh speculation about their relationship arose in May 2024 when, as the Mail understands, King Charles met with David Beckham to discuss his charitable foundation while Prince Harry was in the country.
Previously, the Duke of Sussex had said his father was too busy with “various other priorities” to see him while he was in Britain.
David and Victoria Beckham were guests at her wedding to Prince Harry in Windsor in 2018.
Notably, Meghan and Harry were not guests at Brooklyn’s wedding to American heiress Nicola Peltz in April 2022.

The couple moved to California with their son Prince Archie in 2020, as they stepped back as working royals. Princess Lilibet was born a year later in 2021.
In their six-part Netflix series in December 2022, Harry said of his and Meghan’s move to California: “We are exactly where we need to be.” But then the Duke added: ‘I miss Britain.’

“The fact that I was able to get on a plane and visit him and spend time with him, I’m grateful for that,” he said on ABC’s Good Morning America a few days after the visit. “Every illness, every illness brings families together.”
But Harry could face a long road to reconciliation as the Duke’s previous revelations in his memoirs and on his Netflix show may cause irreversible damage.
