While both are Americans navigating troubled family dynamics after marrying the British sons of famous fathers, the similarities do not end there.

And Meghan Markle and Nicola Peltz would have had plenty in common to discuss when they recently had dinner in the so-called 'Beckxit' summit in Montecito.

Meghan married Prince Harry in 2018 while Nicola wed Brooklyn Beckham in 2022, with both slightly older than their husbands and actresses turned influencers.

The Duchess of Sussex starred in Suits and ran a lifestyle blog before she briefly became a member of the Royal Family then stepped down two years later in 2020.

Meghan has since begun a new life in California – launching TV shows, podcasts and a lifestyle business while hitting out at her old royal life with a series of barbs.
