King Charles and David Beckham Seem Quite Chummy in Newly Snapped Photos

David and His Majesty were all smiles as they conversed at the event. During their chat (per Hello! Magazine), King Charles mentioned the English soccer team’s “bad luck” in reference to the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament. To put the king’s mind at rest, David reassured him that the team is just “warming up, we’ll be ok.”

As it turns out, David Beckham and King Charles are actually friends. On June 1, the 49-year-old former athlete was named the new celebrity ambassador for The King’s Foundation. While visiting ​​the king’s private residence in Highgrove, the two connected over their shared passion for beekeeping. 

“Having developed a love for the countryside I’m also on a personal mission to learn more about rural skills which is so central to the foundation’s work,” David shared, according to Hello! Magazine. He went on to share that it was “inspiring” to learn more about the monarch’s work for the foundation—and they even swapped beekeeping tips!
