The truth about David Beckham and the knighthood he craves: He's struck up an unlikely friendship with a royal, and that Buckingham Palace appearance with Posh could be a sign of things to come, reveals KATIE HIND


David Beckham looked like a man who had fulfilled all his boyhood dreams as he strode hand-in-hand with wife Victoria through the corridors of Buckingham Palace on Wednesday evening.

Shoulders back, head held high and grinning, with just a twinkle of disbelief in his eyes, David Beckham looked like a man who had fulfilled all his boyhood dreams as he strode hand-in-hand with wife Victoria through the corridors of Buckingham Palace on Wednesday evening. His athletic, tattooed, physique – seen more recently half-dressed in jokey Instagram clips posted by his wife – was resplendent in white tie as he joined King Charles and Queen Camilla for a banquet to mark the state visit of the Emir of Qatar, Sheik Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. An avid foodie, he is said to have ‘enormously enjoyed’ the Windsor Pheasant wrapped in savoy cabbage with roasted celeriac puree, a tartlet of Cornish lobster and quail eggs and Samoan vanilla ice cream and Balmoral plum sorbet that were the dishes served up for the 170 Palace guests.
