Louise went for a casual outfit, wearing a striped cardigan over a white vest top and light wash blue jeans. Her ex-father-in-law was dapper in a navy blue suit.
Harry told The Times in an interview: "It was difficult when Jamie and Louise got divorced because both sets of our parents were married until they died, so we weren’t used to that.
"We tried to never interfere, though, and have all managed to stay friends. Everyone seems happy now."
Inside their love story
Louise and Jamie were married for 20 years, having met in a parallel to the Beckham's love story – she was a successful pop star and he a footballer in the Premier League. The couple married in Bermuda in 1998 when Lousie was 23.
Making a family
The singer initially struggled to get pregnant, suffering with the condition endometriosis, which can cause fertility problems. They welcomed a son, Charley, in 2004, and Beau in 2009.

The Strictly curse
Louise joined the cast of Strictly in 2016, with professional dancer Kevin Clifton. The pair danced so well that they made it all the way to the final.
"I've had so many messages from women saying, 'You're doing it for girls in their 40s who are mums,'" she previously told HELLO! in 2016. "It was so nice to have lovely comments from women saying, 'We're proud of you'. That means more to me than anything. I was really scared about doing Strictly."
"At the launch I was thinking, 'I don't know if I'm cut out for this,'" she added. "It was so far out of my comfort zone. But I've realised – and many mums will recognise this – that it's quite nice to feel a bit selfish. I get up and dance every day, which I love. I wanted to get my confidence back a bit."
In her book, You've Got This, Louise wrote: "If I'd done the show four years earlier, this wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't have walked away from my marriage."
She added: "I still wish I'd done things differently because I feel like I hurt a lot of people and I'll always be sorry for that."
Troubled waters
A few months after Strictly finished, Louise and Jamie divorced after 20 years of marriage.
Speaking to HELLO! Louise said: "For so much of my married life I was extremely happy. But bit by bit I began to unravel. I felt as if I was a spectator watching my life unfold; I was losing myself and felt very lonely. The lives of everyone around me were so fast-paced whereas mine felt stagnant."
Their relationship now
"I still love him," she told HELLO!. "After 21 years together how could I not still love him? He’s the father of my boys. Jamie’s a great dad and is very proud that our sons love me so much. He has old-fashioned values and tells them to respect and love their mum."
Since their separation, Jamie has remarried model Frida Redknapp, and the couple share a sweet two-year-old son, Raphael.
Louise has also moved on, and is happily coupled up with CEO boyfriend and former army officer Drew Michael.
