Victoria Beckham is "looking to become a lady" as rumours of her husband David being in line to receive a knighthood have begun to swirl.
King Charles was joined by a host of celebrity ambassadors to mark his star-studded inaugural King’s Foundation Awards and former England star David Beckham was among the group.
The footballer was recently confirmed as an ambassador for the King’s Foundation and met with Charles at Highgrove.
The couple are close to the Royal Family and attended both the weddings of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018
However, the friendship between the Sussexes and the Beckhams has soured over the last few years.
David was reportedly left “absolutely furious” after he and wife Victoria were allegedly accused by the Sussexes of leaking stories, with reports suggesting that their relationship was “over”.
LATEST ROYAL UPDATES:
A source told OK! : “It’s no secret that Victoria and David’s documentary was more popular than Meghan and Harry’s. This helped them, especially Victoria, win over a lot of people.
“Now that David is ‘in’ with King Charles – plus the fact they are on good terms with Kate and William – it puts all the rumours about her allegedly leaking stories to the press behind her.
"It focuses on her and David’s relationship with the Royal Family positively.
“She even sees this as his way to get a knighthood and become Sir David Beckham, while Victoria would become Lady Beckham.”
The King looked delighted to see Beckham and greeted him warmly at the event.
His Majesty referred to England’s recent 1-0 defeat to Iceland and the forthcoming Euros, chuckling: "It was very bad luck, I must say, David."
Beckham replied: "No, no, I don’t think we should reward too much into that. ‘It doesn’t really matter, does it?"
His Majesty quipped. "It was a warming-up session."
This event comes as King Charles had a private meeting with Beckham last month, after being unable to meet with his younger son Prince Harry during his visit to the UK.
Reports in The Times claimed: "Beckham is understood to have visited Charles to learn more about his charity, the King’s Foundation."
