David Beckham puts on proud display ahead of 'upcoming knighthood'
Football icon David Beckham, who is rumoured to be on the King's Birthday Honours List, was pictured at an Inter Miami training session on Friday
David Beckham was all smiles while chatting to pals during an Inter Miami team training session on Friday. The football star, who is rumoured to be being knighted in the King's Birthday Honours List this week, looked relaxed as he chatted with head coach Javier Mascherano and another person.
If the star, who recently celebrated his 50th birthday without his eldest son in attendance, does receive a knighthood, then he officially becomes a Sir, and his wife Victoria will be a Lady. Amid the reports, Inter Miami co-owner David was pictured kicking a ball during a team training session on Friday afternoon.
The football icon, who is said to be locked in a feud with his eldest son, Brooklyn, looked cool and casual in a grey t-shirt, black sweatpants, trainers and a white baseball cap.

At one point, he took a break from training to sit by the sidelines under the blazing sun. Meanwhile, the training session comes after he was snapped attending a Royal event this week, hosted by King Charles himself.
The footballer was snapped attending the King's Foundation Awards ceremony at St James' Palace in London – before the official announcement of his long-awaited knighthood.
He looked dapper in a navy blue double breasted blazer, striped blue shirt and a grey tie for the lavish event.
Amid the family feud, it has been said that David didn't tell Brooklyn, who is married to Nicola Peltz, about his reported knighthood. Instead, Brooklyn reportedly learned of his father's happy news through the media.
A source for Brooklyn told Page Six he was thrilled his dad was finally receiving the honour, while a source quoted as someone close to his parents told the publication: "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect."
Now, the 26-year-old star has shared a picture of a tattoo that could be perceived as a tell-tale sign about where his loyalties lie.
The image shows the tattoo on Brooklyn's upper back that is based on a note Nicola, 30, wrote to him before their wedding in April 2022. Tattooed in a stylish calligraphy font, it reads:
"My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I've ever met and hope I never go a day without your love.
"I think you are so incredible. Just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wifey."

Harry 'snubs' Royal Family with brutal Trooping the Colour move amid bitter feud
As royal fans around the world prepare to watch Trooping the Colour - one of the highlights of the royal calendar - expert Jennie Bond reveals why Prince Harry will not be among them It is one of the rare occasions where the whole of the Royal Family is out in force standing shoulder-to-shoulder. And that is exactly what is expected to happen today when the Firm stands united to celebrate Trooping the Colour. The event, which is the King's official birthday celebration, is full of pomp and pageantry and includes the King leading his family out to the Buckingham Palace balcony for the exhilarating RAF flypast that includes the Red Arrows. However, in recent years, there has been no sign of the King's estranged son, Prince Harry, or his wife, Meghan Markle, joining the event. They last appeared on the palace balcony with the rest of the royals in 2019 - just months before they dramatically quit their royal roles. Since then their relationship with the royals has crumbled after railing against them in their Netflix series and Harry's memoir, Spare. Just weeks ago, Harry revealed he is no longer speaking to his father, but admitted he would like reconciliation with him and his older brother Prince William. But despite Trooping the Colour giving Harry a chance to watch his family in action, royal expert Jennie Bond says she is not sure if the Duke of Sussex will even tune in on TV. The former BBC royal correspondent told the Mirror: "There's no way Prince Harry will be watching the ceremony - after all, it will be the middle of the night in California. I don't suppose he wastes much time looking at events he is no longer part of. "But it must be strange to see his whole family on parade, doing their duty and being cheered by huge crowds while he lives such a different life so far away. "The day is also a chance for us all to see the family unite around the King, and the balcony moment is always a highlight. Over the years, we have seen a toddler Prince Harry sticking his tongue out, Prince George looking distinctly bored, a young Princess Charlotte looking a little tearful and Savannah Phillips clapping her hand over George's mouth to keep him quiet! It's always a heyday for Royal watchers! "Of course, that must make it a bit of an ordeal for the Royal Family: everyone has to be on their best behaviour. It must also require some pretty skilful horsemanship from the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal and Prince Edward to keep their steeds under control for the best part of two hours. "But they will know that there is a powerful symbolism about such senior members of the Royal family riding as escort to guard the King. And William has been quoted as saying that he really enjoys it." The annual event of Trooping the Colour has marked the official birthday of the King or Queen for more than 260 years. The ceremony involves hundreds of horses and soldiers carrying out complex battlefield drill manoeuvres to military music. More than 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians come together for the impressive display. During the parade, the royals will travel from Buckingham Palace down The Mall to Horse Guards Parade in a procession - either on horseback or in carriages. At Horse Guards, they then watch the military display before joining the procession back to Buckingham Palace once it is over. After the parade, the royals then gather on the Palace balcony for a march-past and the fly-past by the RAF, which includes the Red Arrows, and will conclude the day's celebrations. And Jennie added: "Trooping the Colour is a dazzling spectacle. It's held in June in the hope that the sun will be shining, the crowds will be warm and the breastplates and swords of the Household Cavalry will be sparkling. It marks the Monarch's official birthday and is a chance to see all the pomp and pageantry that Britain excels at. "Historically, the Colour (or flag) was trooped - or displayed - on the battlefield as a rallying point for the soldiers. Today it is not only an exercise in military precision, but also a rallying point for crowds and the TV audience to unite around the monarchy. "I've been lucky enough to attend several Troopings and I defy anyone to keep their feet still as the drums thump out the beat to the military music and the horse's hooves go thundering by. It really is a spectacle and a half."

Brooklyn Beckham fails to acknowledge his dad David's knighthood while Romeo shares a tribute as family feud rumbles on
Brooklyn Beckham failed to acknowledge his dad David's knighthood on Friday as their family feud rumbles on. While Romeo shared a tribute to congratulate the former footballer, aspiring chef Brooklyn uploaded a photo of food to his Instagram Story. The wannabe chef, 26, along with his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have been engulfed in the escalating rift with Victoria and David, with his parents believed to be concerned about the influence the billionaire heiress has over their eldest son. Brooklyn snubbed David's knighthood and instead shared some pretzels to his Instagram and continued to promote his Cloud 23 hot sauce. Meanwhile Romeo shared a fun photo with his dad and captioned the update: 'So proud of you.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. David re-shared a number of tributes from his friends as David Gardner, Nick Woodhouse and Manchester United congratulated him. David declared himself 'immensely proud' as he finally received a knighthood after years of being snubbed. He said he 'never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour', as his Spice Girl wife Victoria also becomes Lady Beckham. The former England football captain previously missed out when a 'red flag' from the taxman blocked him becoming a Sir in 2014. Leaked emails suggested he had savaged the nominations committee as 'unappreciative c***s' and branded their decision 'a disgrace, to be honest', although his office subsequently insisted they had been doctored by a hacker. But that was all behind him today as Sir David proudly led the King's Birthday Honours list recognising 1,200 people from community champions to cultural icons. The day before Sir David was given the honour, he was seen chatting with the King at a St James's Palace ceremony for the monarch's foundation, of which the retired footballer is an ambassador. He has been made a knight for his services to sport and to charity. He said: 'Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour.' David added: 'To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true.' He said that, off the pitch, his charity work 'gives me so much fulfilment', and added: 'It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I'm immensely proud and it's such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.' He has been made a knight for his services to sport and to charity, having partnered with Unicef and campaigned with Malaria No More, a charity working to eradicate the disease. Sir David was made an OBE in 2003 and has been in the running for a knighthood for more than a decade. Meanwhile, Brooklyn has reportedly 'told his famous family that he wants no contact' with them in the latest devastating turn of their ongoing feud. While a source close to him denied the claims, a source told Page Six: 'Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect.' According to the publication, the eldest Beckham boy has had no communication with his family following father David's knighthood being announced last week and only learned of the news in the media alongside the rest of the world. Denying he'd asked for no contact, a source close to Brooklyn told the publication: 'Everyone's focus should be David Beckham 's great honour'. MailOnline have contacted David's reps for comment. Meanwhile, Brooklyn has reportedly 'told his famous family that he wants no contact' with them in the latest devastating turn of their ongoing feud (pictured with his parents and siblings Romeo, Cruz, and Harper) Last month, MailOnline revealed that tensions in the family have grown so bitter that the Cruz was going out of his way to avoid his estranged brother. He has taken to contacting the family's favourite hangouts ahead of any visits to confirm that he won't cross paths with his sibling. Cruz is said to have sent messages to the owners of their haunts specifically asking questions such as, 'Is Brooklyn there?', to make sure the coast was clear. And he even follows that up with a request to 'let him know' if his brother later turned up, sources say.

'I tried a TikTok viral 1-minute tan remover and I didn't expect these results'
This tan remover has been making waves with beauty buffs as it promises easy tan removal in just 60 seconds, but does it really work? Shopping Writer Meghan has put it to the test If there's one thing I hate about tanning through the summer, it's needing to remove it. Whether you're stripping the fake tan for good or clearing the canvas for a freshened look, taking off fake tan can be a hassle, sometimes taking an age. So, when I saw this tan remover going viral on TikTok for its quick and convenient removal, I was intrigued. The Rose & Caramel Purity Excel 60 Second Fake Tan Remover, which retails for £23.99 on Amazon, as well as at Boots and Debenhams, promises to remove fake tan in a singular minute. And it's not an empty promise, beauty buffs on social media have been showing off how fast and stress-free this remover is. So I thought I'd take it for a spin. This rapid fake tan remover is said to remove all your self-tan within just 60 Seconds. The viral remover is perfect for stubborn false tan stuck to dry patches, old self-tan that's seen better days, or faded fake tan that needs replacing, without any harsh scrubbing needed. Set to be compatible with any brand of fake tan, tanning mousse, tanning lotion, spray tan, etc., this Rose & Caramel remover is an exfoliating body scrub that promises to not only remove fake tan in seconds but also rejuvenate your skin, deeply exfoliate, remove dead skin cells, reduce ingrowing hairs, and provide the skin with intense moisture for silky, smooth, fake tan-free skin, a perfect fresh canvas for your next sunkissed look. Apparently, it's that easy. You simply mask your body with the luxury body scrub over all areas that need self-tan removal and leave to soak into the skin for 60 seconds. Then you can just jump into the bath or shower and use exfoliating mitts to gently buff away your old self-tan, leaving your skin exfoliated, super soft and ready for your next application of tanning mousse. Available in two scent options, including scent-free, the exfoliating tan remover that I opted for is formulated with a fruity mango and pomegranate scent, leaving the skin smelling and feeling fresh.

First thing to note from my experience with this tan remover, which I've used twice now, is that I didn't notice any overly strong scent during or after use. This probably isn't a huge downside for everyone, and I will admit I have a terrible sense of smell, so it could just be my nose. I have tried removing fake tan with soap or other exfoliators, alongside my exfoliating gloves, and it's been a real chore, which is why I was os keen to test out this 1-minute miracle worker. Did this body scrub live up to the expectations of 60 seconds, and the tan just washes away? No. I covered all of my body that had fake tan on, prioritising dry areas where tan tends to cling, and waited over a minute before hopping in the shower. As I said, the tan didn't immediately disappear, though I did see some colour coming off in the water. But the results still surprised me. It only took gentle scrubbing with my exfoliating gloves while under running water, and it definitely did not take any aggressive scrubbing for the most part. I used more of the tan remover and a bit of a heavier hand on my hands, feet, elbows and knees where old tan likes to stick around, and to my shock, the tan lifted ten times easier than I've found with other exfoliating body scrubs. It isn't a miracle solution to ridding your body of old tan; you still need to exfoliate with gloves or a brush, but the process is massively reduced and doesn't take nearly as much effort to shift stubborn old tan. I wouldn't say it works in 60 seconds, but I had all of my tan removed in around 10 to 15 minutes while in the shower, which is significantly shorter than it's taken in the past. Plus, for £23.99, you get a 440ml tub, which is sure to last for months to come. I've barely used a third of my tub, and I've used this exfoliating body scrub twice. Try it for yourself and shop at Amazon, Boots, or Debenhams. If you're interested in knowing what tan and exfoliating mitts I was using, I've been swearing by this Loving Tan 2hr Express Tanning Mousse (£29.56) in the shade Medium. For removal, I used these Amazon exfoliating gloves (£5.99).
