The personal relationship between former footballer David Beckham and the British Royal House has always been very close. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United player, as well as a legend of the England National Team, was already at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and at the coronation of Charles III, which is a clear sign of the deep bond that unites them.
Their relationship is so close that the monarch has appointed Beckham to a position that, in principle, has nothing to do with his role as an athlete. Since last Sunday, the former soccer player is the first ambassador of the King’s Foundation, a charity that was founded in 1986 to support the rural world and crafts.
“I am honored to become an ambassador for the King’s Foundation. It was inspiring to hear from Her Majesty about the Foundation’s projects and ambitions during my recent visit to Highgrove Gardens. As someone who grew up in London, but has developed a love of the countryside, I look forward to supporting the Foundation’s educational programs and efforts to ensure that young people have a greater understanding of nature. And we share beekeeping tips!” wrote the honest Beckham on his Instagram account.
The two appear smiling in a photograph that was taken during the naming ceremony. “Having developed a love for the countryside, I am also on a personal mission to learn more about rural skills, which are so fundamental to the foundation’s work. I have always wanted to help young people broaden their horizons and am particularly eager to support the Foundation’s educational programs and its efforts to ensure that young people have greater access to nature”added Beckham in front of the media cameras present at the event.
Beckham’s appointment may not be the only one for the month of June, as there are rumors that he could be awarded a royal knighthood in the near future. Although, among all this happiness, There’s someone who might not be liking all these moves: Prince Harry.
According to British media, The youngest son of Charles III visited the United Kingdom last weekend. He tried to meet with his father, but he claimed scheduling problems to reject the meeting. Knowing that he would have met Beckham might not have been a dish of good taste for Meghan Markle’s husband.
