He revealed his mom “burst into tears” upon learning of his role with King Charles’s charity.

David Beckham is not secret about his adoration for the royal family.

Speaking at the 55th annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland earlier this week, the soccer star opened up about his reaction to becoming an ambassador for the King’s Foundation.

I’ve always been a huge royalist, I was brought up in a family and household that adored and loved everything with the royal family,” he said. “When the King asked me to part of his foundation, I was very honored, very privileged, I rang my mum straight away.” She “burst into tears,” Beckham shared. “She knows my grandparents would have been proud that I have played such an important role in the royal family and the charities that they have.”

He went on to discuss King Charles, saying, “Our King is an incredible man, he has not just been incredible for the last five, 10 years, he’s been an incredible man for decades… We have very similar interests, beekeeping …
he’s into bees, I’m into bees, he’s into the countryside, I’m into the countryside, he’s into empowering young people so I’m very honored with that role.”

Beckham has also recently stepped out with Prince William, and he shared, “Whenever the Prince of Wales sends me a message and says I need you to do this or be there, it’s always a yes.”

In December, David and Victoria Beckham were among the guests in attendance at a State Banquet at Buckingham Palace.

Upon the death of Queen Elizabeth, Beckham was one of thousands who waited in line for hours to pay their respects. In 2003, Queen Elizabeth awarded Beckham an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire).

The most special moment for me was to receive my OBE. I took my grandparents with me, who were the ones that really brought me up to be a huge royalist and a fan of the royal family, and obviously I had my wife there as well,” he shared upon the Queen’s passing in 2022. “To step up, to get my honor, but then also Her Majesty, to ask questions, to talk, I was so lucky that I was able to have a few moments like that in my life, to be around Her Majesty. Because we can all see with the love that has been shown, how special she is and how special she was and the legacy that she leaves behind.”
