Real reason Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz hired Harry, Meghan's former lawyer

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have hired a lawyer who previously represented Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

Amid ongoing tensions with Brooklyn’s family and the headlines around their reported family feud, the couple seem to have taken a precautionary step by hiring legal help.

Brooklyn and Nicola have hired British lawyer Jenny Afia, who works for the renowned Schillings law firm, per The Mail on Sunday.

Reports suggested that this was another sign Brooklyn and Nicola were walking in Harry and Meghan’s footsteps, but a source says there’s no connection there.

“There is absolutely no connection to Meghan and Harry,” they told People. “Schillings is a respected firm with a wide range of clients."

"Ironically, the inaccurate reporting proves exactly why one hires legal counsel, to set the record straight and combat the spread of deliberate misinformation," the source added.

Brooklyn and Nicola have reportedly hired the firm to help with their "reputation management," just like the Sussexes.

Afia represented Meghan in her privacy and copyright infringement case against the Mail on Sunday's publishers and also refuted claims of bullying made against the Duchess.

Rumors of the Peltz Beckham couple’s friendship with Harry and Meghan spread when they attended a dinner party with them. The party was reportedly hosted by Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins and his wife, Tracy Robbins, who invited the couple.

Reports of Brooklyn and Nicola’s feud with the Beckhams surfaced when the couple failed to attend any of David Beckham’s many 50th birthday parties in different cities.
