Some fans may have predicted that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge could have been in attendance, given that Brooklyn's parents David and Victoria Beckham went to their wedding in 2011.

According to reports, Kate and Wills were invited to the wedding - but turned down their invite.

A source told the Mirror: "David and Victoria wrote to William and Kate inviting them and the family to their son’s wedding, and William replied wishing them a great deal of joy but they are unable to attend."

One of the reasons that they may have turned down the invite is security, the source said.

Brooklyn, 23, and Nicola, 27, got married in a huge £2.3million ceremony at Nicola's family's luxurious Miami mansion on Saturday.

Aspiring chef Brooklyn later confirmed that he had taken Nicola's name, posting a photo of them together captioned: “Mr & Mrs Peltz Beckham.”

Brooklyn also changed his Instagram handle to @brooklynpeltzbeckham, while Nicola has changed hers to @nicolaannepeltzbeckham.
