David Beckham's deep admiration for the Royal Family has never been a secret. The former footballer once stood for hours on end to catch a glimpse of the late Queen Elizabeth II during her lying-in-state ceremony after her passing last year.
In a column for the Daily Mail, royal author Katie Hind sheds light on the athlete's enduring fondness for the members of the Royal Family, tracing it back to a deep-seated intergenerational love for the monarchy.
A source close to the situation revealed that "David and William's friendship has flourished over the years, and they have collaborated on several noteworthy projects." Notably, the father of four is no longer on friendly terms with the Duke of Sussex.
Beyond these prominent connections, Beckham also counts the Duke and Duchess of York, Prince Andrew, and Sarah Ferguson, as well as their two daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, among his friends.
This development comes in the wake of reports that the British monarch extended an invitation to the former footballer for a dinner meeting, focusing on his involvement in the monarchy's charitable endeavors.
