A beautiful gesture

Prince William and Kate Middleton have found themselves being honoured by David Beckham as he revealed a tribute to the pair.

Over the years, Prince William and Kate have shown Sir David Beckham quite a lot of support. And it seems the respect is mutual.

Just the other week, the Princess of Wales wore a suit from David’s wife, Victoria Beckham’s fashion label. Now, David has showcased his latest tribute to the couple.

David Beckham’s tribute to Prince William and Kate Middleton

In Victoria Beckham’s recently released tell-all Netflix documentary, the football icon gave the cameras a tour of his gardens.

On the grounds of his reported £12million home, he had been preparing a rose variety, which was named after Prince William and Princess Kate.

The shrub, which reportedly cost £23, had been developed by rose breeder David Austin to honour the prince and princess’ 2011 royal wedding. And David had put it on show in his flower beds.

The camera’s showed the plant marker in the soil which read: “Rosa. William and Catherine,” showing that the star proudly wanted to have it on display.

Gushing about the flowers, Victoria told her husband: “It’s amazing what you have built here.”

Kate Middleton supports Victoria Beckham

During Kate’s visit to Home-Start Oxford last week, she opted to wear an olive-green trouser suit. And it just so happened to be designed by Victoria – also lining up with the release of the designer’s docuseries.

At the time, palace insiders revealed it was an act of championing British designers, with a source noting it would have “brought a smile” to Victoria’s face.

But this isn’t the first time the princess has worn an outfit made by Victoria.

Back in May, Kate wore the same tailored suit, with a different top under the jacket, to present the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design.

Throughout the last few years, Kate has continued to wear select items from Victoria’s label.

The royal family’s relationship with the Beckhams

Sir David Beckham received a knighthood in June, as part of King Charles’ birthday honours list. He was therefore recognised for his achievements in sport and charitable work.

But the friendship between the royals and the Beckhams spans back years. David and Victoria actually attended William and Kate’s wedding in April 2011. From there, they have grown a lot closer.

It’s not only Kate and William they have a bond with, as David has become friendly with King Charles too. It’s believed the pair bonded over their shared interests like homemade honey.

David was then invited to Highgrove, where he learned all about The King’s Foundation – Charles charity which was created in 1996.

He then attended the RHS Chelsea Flower Show back in May, meeting both King Charles and Queen Camilla.

Earlier this year David admitted he “always gets emotional” taking about the royals.

The star said: “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.”
