David Beckham has been a familiar face at royal events in the past few years, whether it's joining Prince William to celebrate the efforts of a helicopter appeal or dining with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House. As an ambassador for the King's Foundation, Beckham promotes the charity's aim to create sustainable communities, and the former footballer shares numerous interests with The King. It's no secret that keen monarchist Beckham has been gunning for a knighthood for years now, and the buzz in royal circles is that 2025 might be the year.
Like the monarch, Beckham loves gardening and frequently shares his efforts on Instagram, and the duo reunited at the Chelsea Flower Show on May 19. Dressed in a smart beige suit pinned with a pink rose named after King Charles, the soccer legend chatted with The King and Queen Camilla about the "incredible" 50th birthday gift he received from Their Majesties.
