Let's dive into the royal news shall we? You've heard about the bloke, David Beckham, right? Legend on the pitch and a star off it too! Now, he's earned a spot among the elite as one of King Charles III's knights! Yes, you heard that right, ole Becks has been knighted!

Known for his phenomenal free kicks, Becks has donned the England jersey a whopping 115 times, captaining the team for many a year. With a list of charitable organizations under his belt, including the King's Foundation of Charles III, it's no surprise he's made the cut. Recently, Time magazine even stacked Becks on their list of the world's top 100 influencers in the philanthropy sphere.

But hey, let's not forget about the man at the top, King Charles himself! This chap's all about the good deeds, especially via his prolific foundation, The King's Foundation. Celebrating its 35th birthday in '25, it's on a mission to construct sustainable communities and better lives – all thanks to King Charles's vision and passion. The foundation has got its eyes on three prime areas: sustainability, traditional crafts, and environmental education. Here's a sneaky peek at what they've achieved so far:

  • Education: More than 15,400 students have benefited from their education programs.
  • Heritage Preservation: The foundation empowers heritage crafts and operates a global school of traditional arts with over 5,200 students!
  • Community Support: Since its open sesame in '15, The Health and Wellbeing Centre at Dumfries House has supported over 2,300 folks!

The foundation also dishing out the recognition where it's due with annual awards like the King Charles III Harmony Award. In '25, Professor Muhammad Yunus got a nod for his commitment to sustainability and social responsibilities.

Now, the question on everyone's lips – what's Becks's connection with the Big Kahuna, Charles III? Well, details on that are as scarce as hen's teeth, but we do know that they've caught wind of each other's good vibes. Take the Chelsea Flower Show in '25, for instance! Becks was there, mingling with the royals – King Charles and Queen Camilla – as they all supported the King's charity.

So, there you have it folks, King Charles III spreading goodness and Becks joining the noble ranks! Game, set, and match to the royal fam! 🌸🎉🙆🏿‍♂️
