Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were not "directly invited" by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to a recent VIP dinner at their Montecito mansion, according to a source close to the Sussexes.
The gathering, which took place in recent weeks, has sparked interest amid reports of a growing bond between the two couples.
People magazine, described as Harry and Meghan's preferred US publication, has reported that the Peltz-Beckhams' attendance was likely arranged through a mutual friend or intermediary rather than a direct invitation from the Sussexes.
Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, who live approximately 90 minutes away from the Sussexes in Los Angeles, reportedly had "a wonderful time" at the dinner.

The dinner was part of a larger gathering rather than an exclusive meeting between the two couples.
"While it was an intimate gathering, there were several additional guests, including VIPs and film executives," an insider told MailOnline.
The timing of the dinner has raised eyebrows due to ongoing tensions within the Beckham family, but sources insist this was merely coincidental.
"Brooklyn and Nicola were invited prior to David's numerous global birthday galas, so the timing is pure coincidence," the insider explained.

The dinner appears to have fostered a meaningful connection between Meghan and Nicola, with sources claiming the two women had a "deep and meaningful" conversation.
The Duchess of Sussex reportedly "has a lot of sympathy" for Nicola due to similar media portrayals they have experienced.
"There was shared common ground," the source added.
The women are said to have bonded over being accused by critics of being "homewreckers" and wives who "tear apart their husbands' families".
