King Charles met former footballer David Beckham at the Chelsea Flower Show this month, presenting him with a specially named King’s Rose to promote youth engagement in horticulture.

Beckham, an ambassador for The King’s Foundation, praised the gift as 'incredible' during a discussion that also touched on family matters and media scrutiny.

The encounter followed a private gathering in California between the Beckhams and Prince Harry, signalling deeper personal and charitable ties across both families.
