Backed For ‘Deserved’ Knighthood, David Beckham Accepts King Charles Invitation After Unfriending Prince Harry & Meghan Markle

David Beckham, the former England captain and one of the world’s most recognizable soccer icons, has always been a staunch supporter of the British monarchy. His unwavering loyalty and dedication have not gone unnoticed by the Crown. Recently, King Charles III has extended an invitation to the soccer legend that could significantly solidify his relationship with the royal family. These recent developments left many wondering about the true nature of Beckham’s relationship with the Royal family. Why? Because he had a sour ending with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle!

As the English soccer star openly expressed his desire for a royal title, his upcoming meeting with the royal family will be intriguing. Let’s uncover the details behind Beckham’s latest royal affair.

David Beckham to serve as a Royal Ambassador

King Charles III is currently looking forward to his reconciliation with his son, Prince Harry, ahead of his 75th birthday celebration. The King is keen to involve David Beckham in the Royal family’s charitable endeavors, The Prince Foundation, established in 1986 by the then Prince of Wales. It aims to assist young people across the nation and is a part of several charities led by King Charles.

As reported by Elle, David Beckham is expected to become an ambassador for The Prince Foundation and exhibit his dedication to the cause. As the soccer icon has previously been an ambassador for the Invictus Games, a sporting event dedicated to war veterans, this new role will not be strange to him. In the past, Prince Harry has actively consulted David Beckham for such events. It resulted in a strong friendship between the pair.

However, knowing the recent rifts between the Beckhams and the Royals, the prospect of Beckham’s upcoming meet becomes fascinating. David Beckham and his wife Victoria, distanced themselves from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, following the bold accusations made by the royal couple. The Beckhams even excluded the Royal couple from their eldest son Brooklyn’s wedding.
