Prince Harry Told King Charles That David Beckham 'Is Not Your Son' After Friendship Fallout:' Report
Prince Harry has a close bond with David Beckham, even inviting him and his wife Victoria Beckham to his wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018.
Their relationship has reportedly deteriorated over time, with rumors suggesting the breakdown stems from leaked stories, disagreements over free clothes, and David's friendship with Harry's estranged brother, William, dating back to 2018.
Now, according to 'Woman's Day,' the 39-year-old is reportedly furious about the soccer player's close new bond with his father King Charles.
In a set of photos released to the media, King Charles and Beckham, 49, were seen laughing together, exchanging beekeeping tips, and announcing the British football star's new role as ambassador of the King's Foundation.
"I'm particularly looking forward to supporting the Foundation's education programs and its efforts to ensure young people have greater access to nature," Beckham shared of his new role.
Harry's "head has been spinning since he saw those photos," a palace insider claimed. "He can't help but feel jealous — and betrayed."

"David was his friend not so long ago, so it's a double blow to see him being friendly with his dad and taking an ambassadorship role that should have been for him," the source alleged. "Clearly there's genuine affection between Charles and David but this will deeply upset Harry, who is still smarting over his father's snub when he was in London just weeks ago."
"It's almost cruel that Charles has time to hang out with David and play beekeepers, but he can't meet up with his own son for 15 minutes," claims a source, commenting on Charles' reported choice to see Beckham instead of Harry, 39, during his visit to the UK for the Invictus Games in May.
"Harry will never be feeling more out of the loop and alone. He and David used to be best friends, so it's a gut-wrenching reminder of another long-lost friendship," the insider claimed. "To see David so chummy with his dad will feel like a double betrayal to Harry. He considered David a very close friend — he misses him."
