David Beckham Announces Exciting New Partnership with King Charles

The king of soccer is teaming up with King Charles for a special cause.

This weekend, 49-year-old soccer star David Beckham announced on Instagram that he has signed on to be an ambassador for The King’s Foundation—an organization founded by His Majesty in 1990 to promote sustainability. Beckham shared photos of himself posing and laughing with the king during his visit to Highgrove Gardens in Gloucestershire and wrote, "I’m honored to become an Ambassador for The King’s Foundation. It was inspiring to hear from His Majesty about the Foundation’s projects and ambitions during my recent visit to Highgrove Gardens."

The caption continues, "As someone who grew up in London but has developed a love of the countryside, I’m looking forward to supporting the Foundation’s education programs and efforts to ensure young people have a greater understanding of nature, and we shared beekeeping tips!" (FYI, you might recall how the former soccer player shared footage of himself harvesting honey in honor of World Honey Bee Day in 2022.)

Following his pics with King Charles, the former athlete shared photos of himself engaging with students who take woodworking classes through the King’s Foundation. In the final slide, Beckham is all smiles as he also tries his hand at woodworking.

In the comments, Beckham's sister, Joanne, wrote, "Who would have ever thought my brother would be standing laughing with the king! These pictures are amazing! So so proud of you and everything you do always xx." One fan chimed in, "Bravo David! You are a fabulous ambassador to inspire the young to connect with nature."

Per the official website, The King’s Foundation aims to "create a sustainable future to meet the needs of our world." They offer a diverse range of education and training programs and work with several communities and partners around the world.
