Inside David Beckham’s special relationship with Kate & Wills after Harry & Meg fallout left him ‘absolutely furious’

HE is a self-proclaimed royalist and has supported senior royals at a string of high profile events, but David Beckham recently cemented his friendship with the famous family after accepting a dinner invitation from the King.

Last month it was revealed how the ex-England star, 48, had accepted an invitation for talks with Charles on becoming a celebrity ambassador for a royal charity.

In particular, Goldenballs is being wooed in the hope he can sprinkle a little stardust on the Prince’s Foundation, which provides skills training to youngsters.

It is a role David is both familiar with and does well, having previously supported Harry with his Invictus Games, and William with both environmental and mental health campaigns.

And according to Sarah Hewson, royal editor of Talk TV, the invitation from the King could be the start of another new royal friendship.

She told Fabulous: “I think David and the King might have more in common than perhaps we might have realised.

It’s very clear which side the Beckhams are on

“For instance, like Charles, David is an avid beekeeper and he gifted the King a jar of honey that he had harvested after the coronation.

“I certainly think there’s a lot that can be done by them working together. I think that it’s quite an interesting development in terms of David’s history with the royal family – and it’s very clear which side the Beckhams are on.”

Sarah is referring to the alleged feud between the Beckhams and the Sussexes over leaked stories.

Harry reportedly called David accusing him and wife Victoria of the leaks in an “awkward” conversation which left David “absolutely bloody furious”.

“With the allegations around cash for honours – where it was claimed a Saudi billionaire was promised British citizenship and a knighthood in return for being a donor – the Foundation needs to be rebranded.

“And who better to do that than a star like David Beckham.”
