Sir Rod Stewart couldn’t resist making a cheeky dig at David Beckham as he celebrated the work of King Charles III’s foundation, alongside a number of other star ambassadors. Among the guests at St James’s Palace on Tuesday (11 June) were Sienna Miller, broadcaster Alan Titchmarsh, former British Vogue editor Edward Enninful, and Stewart’s wife, model Penny Lancaster. The event was held to showcase the work of students, teachers, alumni and partners who have contributed to the organisation’s charitable efforts.
Rocker Stewart, 79, who received his own knighthood in 2016, made a short speech in which he quipped that Beckham would soon receive the same honour. “Penny and I are so honoured to be ambassadors for the King’s [Foundation],” he began in a clip shared to social media. “I’m also wonderfully honoured to be a knight.
“David, yours is coming soon,” he added to laughter from the audience while Beckham, who has long been rumoured to be keen to receive the honour , shook his head and laughed. The former England captain was announced as one of the foundation’s ambassadors last month, when it was revealed that he had spent time with the King discussing beekeeping, and ways in which young people could be connected to nature. The football star is known for sharing videos to his social media accounts of his gardening projects , including his beloved chickens and his beehives.
Earlier this week, fans called for him to have his own gardening show. Later in.
