David and Victoria Beckham’s Invitation to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Declined for Son’s Wedding
The wedding of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz was the talk of the town over the weekend as they tied the knot in a grand ceremony in Florida.
The millionaire couple exchanged their vows in front of 300 guests, but it seems that some notable figures were missing from the guest list.
David and Victoria Beckham extended an invitation to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to attend their son's wedding, but the royal couple declined.
According to reports by the Mirror, the Beckhams chose to invite the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge over the Duke and Duchess of Sussex due to their closer friendship with the royal couple.
A source close to the Beckhams revealed that David and Victoria wrote a letter to William and Catherine, inviting them and their family to their son's wedding.
William responded, wishing them a great deal of joy but regretfully declining the invitation.

The insider insisted that the Beckhams have a long-standing history with the Cambridges, and David's attachment and history go back with William and Catherine.
They have a very strong relationship, and the Cambridges were their choice of wedding guests.
The source added that David and Victoria are attached to the Cambridges, and it has always been about them because they had a long history together.
It was never about Meghan and Harry.
It's worth noting that the Beckhams famously attended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding in 2018, which some are calling a snub to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
However, the source clarified that it was never about them, and the Cambridges were always their first choice.
While the reason for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's absence from the wedding was not explicitly stated, it's believed that security issues prevented them from attending.
Nevertheless, David and William have struck up a firm friendship over the years, with England's footballing hero often joining the Duke to spread awareness of mental health issues.
Last year, David and son Romeo shared the royal box at the Euros with Catherine and William.
The former footballer posted a selfie with Catherine in the background after England knocked Germany out of the competition.
Photos from the game also show the couple laughing with the Beckhams, who were sitting directly behind them.
David revealed in an interview from ten years ago that he's good mates with William and Harry, and they're very easy to get along with.
They love their sport, and William loves Aston Villa, which David gives him a bit of stick about.
It's thought that David first became close to both Princes William and Harry as they campaigned for London to hold the World Cup back in 2012.
The wedding of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz was a lavish affair, with the couple exchanging their vows in one of three massive tented structures constructed on the sprawling oceanfront lawn of Father Nelson's $103 million compound in Palm Beach, Florida.
