King Charles III Declined Prince Harry’s Invite & Ended Up Hanging out With One of Harry’s Ex-Friends Instead

Given King Charles’s health challenges, his participation in public events has significantly decreased. Yet, he decided to have a meeting with football star David Beckham, rather than go to a notable event organized by his son Prince Harry — who just happens to be one of Prince Harry’s former pals.

Beckham, aged 49, had a “private meeting” with King Charles on Friday, May 10. The purpose? To discuss the ins and outs of the King’s Foundation, an educational charity striving to empower community-led design, per The Times.
