The monarch bestowed upon the former football star a significant role, appointing him as an ambassador for The King’s Foundation.
Established by Charles, 75, during his tenure as the Prince of Wales in 1990, the foundation aims to foster enhanced communities where people, places, and the planet can thrive in harmony.
Expressing his gratitude for the appointment, Beckham remarked, “I’m deeply honored to serve as an Ambassador for The King’s Foundation. My recent visit to Highgrove Gardens allowed me to gain insight into His Majesty’s vision for the Foundation’s projects and aspirations.”
“As someone who hails from London but has developed a profound affection for the countryside, I eagerly anticipate supporting the Foundation’s educational initiatives and endeavors to instill a greater appreciation of nature among young people.”
In a lighthearted note, Beckham shared that he and the King even exchanged "beekeeping tips" during their interaction.
This recognition follows a reported estrangement between Beckham and Prince Harry, who were previously known to share a friendly rapport. Prince Harry, who was in London to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, was allegedly unable to secure a meeting with his ailing father, citing a "full program." However, the monarch made time for a private discussion with Beckham at his residence in Highgrove, Gloucestershire, mere days later.
