David Beckham is heading for dinner with the King to discuss being charity ambassador — after he cut ties with Harry
DAVID Beckham is heading for dinner with the King — after cutting ties with Prince Harry.
The ex-England star, 48, has accepted an invitation for talks with Charles on becoming a celebrity ambassador for a royal charity.
In particular, Goldenballs is being wooed in the hope he can sprinkle a little stardust on the Prince’s Foundation, which provides skills training to youngsters.
Becks had served a similar role for Harry’s Invictus Games but has distanced himself from the Sussexes since they moved to the US and trashed the Royal Family.
An insider said: “It’s an open secret that David wants a knighthood one day and many people have questioned why he isn’t a Sir after all he’s done — and linking up with the King rather than Harry would certainly help.”
David was made an OBE for services to football 20 years ago while ex-Spice Girl wife Victoria, 49, was given the same honour in 2017 for services to the fashion industry.

But in 2013 his chances of higher honours were dented by involvement in a tax avoidance scheme.
His meeting with the King could take place in Scotland at the foundation’s base, Dumfries House.
Our source added: “The King wants to suss out whether he and David can work together and explore potential projects and find out if they share any common ground.”
