tanding in line to greet King Charles at the Chelsea Flower Show last month, David Beckham had rarely looked so delighted. Wearing the King’s rose in his lapel, Beckham was seen smiling from ear to ear as he spoke quietly with the monarch, who was accompanied by Queen Camilla.

That speculation was seemingly confirmed last week when reports suggested that Beckham was to receive a knighthood as part of the King’s birthday celebrations today.
