The relationship between members of the royal family and the Beckhams has received much attention this week. And so it was an intriguing time for David Beckham to appear alongside the King and Queen at the Chelsea Flower show in support of the King’s charity.
The royal couple joined David Beckham at the Highgrove Shop at the flower show, which is selling products from Highgrove Gardens including honey, gin, jam, homeware and clothing.
Their joint appearance this evening was to raise awareness of an upcoming campaign by the King’s Foundation to get more young people into horticulture. The footballer is an ambassador for the foundation, which champions the King’s philosophy of working in harmony with nature and is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.
Over the past week there has been much discussion about the relationship between members of the royal family and the Beckhams as both families navigate high-profile feuds. When Kate Middleton wore a Victoria Beckham suit to a British Fashion Council event this week it sparked stories suggesting she was offering a show of support for David and Victoria amidst reports they have fallen out with their son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola. Then, The Sun newspaper broke a story about Prince Harry and Meghan hosting Brooklyn and Nicola at their Montecito home.
David Beckham has long been popular with the royal family and has been involved with a number of charity initiatives organized by King Charles and Prince William. He received an OBE in 2003 for his services to football and the possibility of him one day receiving a knighthood has been much-discussed.
Other members of the royal family attending the Chelsea Flower Show today included Prince Edward and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
