King Charles' clear message to Prince Harry as he awards David Beckham knighthood
David Beckham is finally getting getting his Knighthood.
David Beckham has been after a Knighthood from the Royal Family for years and now it seems that his dreams are finally becoming a reality. The footballing icon is set to become 'Sir' in the King's Birthday Honours list next week.
Over the years, the 50 year old has become friendly with the monarch and his son, the Prince of Wales. Beckham recently joined King Charles at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, was invited to his first Buckingham Palace State Banquet last year, and has made key contributions to charities linked to Charles and William, writes The Express.
And it's believed Prince William will be delighted that the former Manchester United player will finally be given the accolade, however there's one royal who will be less than pleased by the news.
Prince Harry was once close pals with Posh and Becks as they were also guests at his wedding to wife Meghan Markle in 2018.
Beckham also supported Prince Harry's 2018 Invictus Games by jetting to Sydney for the occasion but this seems to be where their friendship went downhill as the Duke didn't want his friend involved in photo-ops.
Since then Meghan accused the Beckhams of leaking stories about them, in a major deterioration of their friendship.
According to reports, the two couples no longer speak, and Harry has watched from afar as his former pal enjoys close relationships with his estranged family.
Last month, it was reported that the Sussexes appeared to get involved with the Beckhams fallout with their son, Brooklyn.
The eldest Beckham child, Brooklyn is said to have a ongoing feud with this family and even snubbed his father's 50th birthday celebrations last month.
But Meghan and Harry appear to be offering support to Brooklyn as they invited him and his wife, Nicola Peltz, for dinner at their Montecito home last month.
The two women are said to have found 'common ground' after they have both been accused of wrecking their husbands' families.
The Peltz-Beckhams have now reportedly brought in top lawyer Jenny Afia, known for representing Prince Harry, to assist with "reputation management."
The British solicitor, who works at the Schillings law firm, recently appeared in the documentary The Princes and the Press.
A source revealed to the Mail on Sunday: "All of a sudden they have enlisted the help of the Sussexes' long-serving lawyer.
" Nicola and Brooklyn are getting fed up of stories running they don't like. Nicola likes to control everything and they have taken this rather drastic action.
"For the Beckhams the irony isn't lost. They fell out with Meghan and Harry after they accused them of leaking stories – they were furious and Brooklyn knows that."
"The two couples are very close indeed," they continued.
