King Charles and Queen Camilla have revealed they sent David Beckham a rather lavish gift for his recent 50th birthday after their two sons found ‘common ground’
David Beckham thanked King Charles and Queen Camilla for their rather surprising birthday present. The former Manchester United legend celebrated his 50th birthday earlier this month amidst an ongoing family feud. While David’s famous family pulled together for the occasion, his eldest son, Brooklyn, failed to attend any of the three celebrations.
It was recently claimed that Brooklyn, 26, and his wife, Nicola Peltz, 30, met with Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, at their home in Montecito, California, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex offering their support to the Peltz-Beckhams following the family fall-out. But while the Beckham’s and the royals have had a long-standing friendship, it appears that the King and Queen are showing their support to David.
The 50-year-old attended the Chelsea Flower Show on Monday alongside the likes of Alan Titchmarsh. While attending the regal event, Beckham was seen sporting a rose as a buttonhole, and it has since emerged that the flower has a very royal connection.

The King, 76, was heard asking David if he had received the recent gift for his birthday after they met on an official line-up. “You got it, didn’t you?” the Monarch asked. David responded: “It was incredible, thank you. It was very kind.”
Just moments later, Queen Camilla met Beckham and commented: “Nice to see you again, glad you got the roses.” The footballer told Her Majesty that he had a “perfect” but “busy weekend,” adding it was “a lot of fun.” Beckham’s rose, a King’s Rose was named in honour of the King who has never shied away from discussing his love for horticulture.
The meeting comes after the King’s second son, Prince Harry, offered David and Victoria Beckham’s eldest son his “unwavering support” following the Beckham feud. It’s reported Nicola and former Suits actress Meghan found “common ground” over allegations of their apparently similar story of allegedly helping to split famous families.
A source told Mail Online: “Brooklyn knows how hurt David and Victoria were when Harry and Meghan accused them of briefing stories about them. David, who is very mild-mannered, was absolutely furious.”
They added: “Brooklyn was very much around and spending a lot of time with his parents when this all happened. It was over five years ago but the upset and dislike is still very much there.
“Victoria was especially good to Meghan in the beginning, and it all got thrown back in her face.” David and Victoria are believed to have fallen out with Meghan and Harry in the past, despite once appearing close with the footballer and former Spice Girl even attending their wedding seven years ago.
The Sun, however, claims that Peltz-Beckham and Sussex’s dinner had been arranged prior to Brooklyn’s fall-out with his family. A source told the outlet that it was an “unexpected invite” for Brooklyn and Nicola, who were described as feeling “pretty battle-wounded,” but was “gratefully received”. The source said that Prince Harry and Meghan were “very kind” and “empathetic” to their guests.
The source added: “Harry was fully aware of the situation and offered Brooklyn his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar.” They added: “Nicola and Meghan also had a bit of a ‘deep [and] meaningful’ [chat] as obviously both women have been positioned in the media as home-wreckers – the women to tear apart their husbands’ families.”
