Monarch honours Beckham’s milestone as both navigate strained ties with their sons
David Beckham was left visibly touched after receiving a special gift from King Charles and Queen Camilla during his recent appearance at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show in London. The sweet gesture — roses sent in honour of Beckham’s 50th birthday — highlighted the monarch’s appreciation for the football icon’s role as ambassador of The King’s Foundation.
During their warm exchange, King Charles asked:
“You got it, didn’t you?”
Beckham replied with a smile: “It was incredible. Thank you, it was very kind.”
Queen Camilla added: “Nice to see you again, glad you got the roses.”
This marked Beckham’s first attendance at the prestigious annual event, coming just two weeks after his birthday celebration, which he spent with wife Victoria and three of their four children. Notably absent were Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz, further fuelling speculation of ongoing family tension.
Meanwhile, reports have suggested that Brooklyn and Nicola recently connected with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during a private dinner in Montecito. According to sources, the couples bonded over shared experiences and Harry reportedly offered his "unwavering support" to Brooklyn — a gesture that reflects a deepening alliance between the Sussexes and the young Beckhams.
Interestingly, both King Charles and David Beckham now find themselves navigating public rifts with their sons. Once close to Prince Harry, Beckham reportedly distanced himself after a falling out sparked by accusations involving Meghan and Victoria Beckham — adding another layer of complexity to the evolving dynamics.
As royal-watchers speculate about fractured ties and emerging friendships, the King’s thoughtful gesture to David Beckham offered a moment of grace — a quiet symbol of shared experience, mutual respect, and perhaps a subtle message of solidarity in the face of fatherhood’s more trying chapters.
