David and Victoria Beckham share advice on meeting the Queen from footwear to toilet manners

David and Victoria Beckham have shared their top tips when it comes to meeting members of the British royal family.

The power couple hosted a special lunch on Saturday for inspirational individuals as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, and the football legend - along with his fashionista wife - have now dished out their advice for others who may be lucky enough to cross paths with Queen Elizabeth.

During the prestigious event which was held on Saturday, both David, 48, and Victoria, 47, took a trip down memory lane from the occasions where they met with Royalty and her Majesty.

Former Spice Girls singer Victoria, who met the Queen in 2017, told one pregnant guest: "Ask for a seat near the bathroom".

Speaking to pregnant Becca Dean MBE - who was honoured by the Queen for her hard work in disadvantaged communities - Victoria said: "A good tip would be to certainly to ask for a seat near the bathroom if you're about to have a baby because you never know what might happen.

"You might need more than a toilet if the waters break," David added.

The football star, who was made an OBE in 2003, gave tips to the ladies in the group at the special Jubilee event.

"Don't wear too high heels as that couple of steps back is challenging Not that obviously I wore heels receiving mine," he joked.

Recalling his first encounter with the Queen, David admitted that he was left speechless when Her Majesty 'asked for Victoria' and 'the kids' when greeting him.

"How's Victoria, how's the kids?' she said. "I couldn't even answer, it was an incredible moment."
