Overview
- Letters exchanged late last summer between Schillings and Harbottle & Lewis asked that all communication go via lawyers and requested David and Victoria stop tagging Brooklyn on social media.
- Outlets consistently describe the notice as a “desist” request rather than a legal threat, with no claim filed and no court proceedings reported.
- Brooklyn and Nicola later blocked his parents and siblings on Instagram, reportedly after Victoria liked his roast‑chicken video, a move Cruz referenced publicly.
- Reports say there has been little or no direct conversation for roughly 13 months, with both sides portrayed as hurt yet receptive to a private reconciliation.
- Coverage adds that Brooklyn remains in contact with his grandparents, while the rift is linked to disputes around the 2022 wedding and missed events such as David’s 50th and knighthood.
