In the comments on David’s Instagram post celebrating his 50th birthday, someone remarked, “Too bad Brooklyn and his pretty wife did not attend Dad’s 50th!”
Another comment asked, “Where is Brooklyn Peltz?”
A source told the news outlet that the dinner invitation came as a surprise but was “gratefully received” by the couple, who are said to be feeling “pretty battle-wounded.” They added, “Harry and Meghan were very empathetic and very kind to them both.”
The source also mentioned that The Duke was “fully aware of the situation” and had offered Brooklyn his “unwavering support as someone who has been through similar.”
In a recent BBC interview, Prince Harry spoke about his desire for “a reconciliation with my family,” revealing that his father, King Charles III, “won’t speak” to him because of their dispute over his security arrangements, an appeal he lost.
At the same time, Meghan and Nicole had a “bit of a ‘deep n’ meaningful’” conversation about how they are seen in the media as “home-wreckers,” according to the source.
Regarding Meghan’s attitude towards Nicole, the insider said, “Meghan showed a lot of sympathy and mentioned they shared common ground.
“They didn’t meet because of recent news or headlines; it was an honest and welcome coincidence.”
PEOPLE’s insider confirmed this, adding, “Brooklyn and Nicola were invited well before David’s multiple global birthday events, so the timing was purely coincidental.”
