It's no secret that David and Victoria Beckham are very close with the British Royal family, but were they once enlisted to help a member of the family get his personal life in order? Apparently, that was the case as there's a new report that says David Beckham was supposed to be a good influence on Prince Harry, as the family was worried that his drinking was getting out of hand and worse, giving the royals a bad name.

Apparently, the royal rumors allege that David was supposed to help Prince Harry get back on his feet after nightclubbing and alcohol consumption was making headlines several years ago for all the wrong reasons.

And while David likes to enjoy an occasional drink himself, the International soccer star has never been seen publicly intoxicated, with the royals hoping that Prince Harry could learn a thing or two with him.

From the Daily Beast's Tom Skykes: "Two years ago, the British Royals roped in David Beckham as an informal mentor for Prince Harry, when it appeared his drinking was getting out of control after he was sick in a London nightclub toilet. Beckham is not teetotal, but he drinks in very strict moderation, and there was a hope that he might be able to show Harry that getting legless is not a prerequisite for a good night out."

Unfortunately, Prince Harry didn't seem to learn much as just recently there have been rumors suggesting that the young royal might have impregnated a teenage girl during yet another drunken night out. So far, Buckingham Palace has not confirmed nor denied those reports.
