It’s been a week of celebrations for David and Victoria Beckham after the former footballer celebrated his 49th birthday earlier this week.

And it seems the pair have kicked the bank holiday off with a bang as they headed to a winery in Spain alongside long-time pals Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana.

The foursome were seen boarding a private jet as they took a quick trip to the region of Valladolid in Spain to visit a local winery.

Putting on a stylish display, David opted for a tan brown button up jacket and matching brown trousers.

Shaking hands with the airport staff, David appeared in great spirits as he carried a box of expensive looking wine underneath his arms.

Following the meal, the former athlete looked surprised as he was treated to a Victoria sponge cake with several candles on as his family sang happy birthday amid a backdrop of balloons.

The Spice Girl wrote: ‘Happy Birthday!!! You are our everything!!!’, before added she is missing son Brooklyn, 25.

She wrote: ‘Special day celebrating you!!! The best daddy and husband! Miss u @brooklynpeltzbeckham’.

Earlier in the day, Victoria delighted fans as she shared a shirtless clip of her husband as he completed a workout despite it being his birthday.

The former Manchester United player looked incredible as he posed topless wearing only a pair of tiny blue gym shorts and green trainers.

As Victoria swooned: ‘Birthday boy doing a birthday workout, looking good’, David jokily flexed his muscles as he showcased his washboard abs and toned physique.

Victoria delighted fans as she showcased her husband David’s INCREDIBLE physique as he hit the gym for a 49th birthday workout

David Beckham‘s son Cruz was pictured supporting his famous dad during his appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The retired English soccer player, 49, and his son, 19, were pictured separately making their way in to the studio, before later sharing a sweet hug on their way out.

Cruz showed up for his dad despite having seemingly injured his foot, on which he wore a large black medical boot.

The youngest son of the athlete and Victoria Beckham, 50 — who recently helped his mom celebrate her birthday with a Spice Girls performance — sported a brown hoodie over a blue t-shirt and green sweatpants.

Meanwhile David looked dapper in a cream sweater, white t-shirt, and grey slacks for the occasion.

Cruz has seemingly injured his foot just like his mother Victoria, though it’s unclear how he got his injury.

On Sunday he was spotted out with his friend Bby Ivy in Los Angeles wearing the same medical boot that Victoria has been pictured sporting.

 

David told fans the designer had broken her foot in the gym on his Instagram Story on Valentine’s Day.

Victoria, who has been spotted wearing a similar boot on several occasions in recent months, confirmed she had broken her foot after David shared an Instagram post.

Sharing an update on her condition, David revealed: ‘Apparently my wife’s little accident in the gym was a clean break… [sad face]’

David shared a photograph of Victoria’s foot strapped up in a medical boot as she recovered from the injury.

On February 14, the mother of four revealed the day had got off on the wrong foot as she shared pictures of a painful injury to her Instagram Stories.

Following his split from Tana Holding in October last year, Cruz has been seen out with several female pals.

Last month, Cruz was seen spending time with actress Skye Ladell, 23, as they stepped out together in West Hollywood.

In February, Cruz was spotted enjoying some time with social media influencer Issey Moloney in London’s Soho.

Cruz split from his girlfriend Tana after a year-long romance in October last year.

Aside from Cruz, Victoria and David share sons Brooklyn, 25, and Romeo, 21, and daughter Harper, 12.

On March 27, Victoria Beckham suddenly posted a photo of her husband dressed at home and attentively sewing a doll dress for daughter Harper on Instagram.

This super cute photo has attracted hundreds of thousands of Likes and thousands of comments. Most were interested in this image and expressed their admiration for David Beckham.

 

In the photo, the handsome former football player is attentively sewing a dress for a doll without knowing that Victoria Beckham recorded this moment with the caption: “Dad is sewing a dress for Harper’s doll.

The whole family loves him.” @davidbeckham #lovingdaddy #proudmummy #familyfun”.

David Beckham loves to pamper his youngest princess and is always willing to do anything for his 4-year-old daughter,

such as being willing to watch the cartoon ‘Frozen’ over and over again at least ’50 or 60 times’. The Beck family regularly organizes movie nights together and pops popcorn in a very traditional way.

Vic and Beck got married in 1999 and now have four children. The Beckham family has always been considered a symbol of happiness and style in the British and world entertainment industry.

David Beckham was in good spirits as he joined celebrity friends Anna Wintour and Kieran Culkin at a BECKHAM documentary screening in New York City on Tuesday.

The former England footballer, 49, cut a dapper figure in a navy double breasted blazer as he attended the event held at The Whitby Hotel.

David opted for a white T-shirt beneath the jacket and donned a pair of beige oversized trousers and suede shoes.

David was all smiles as he posed with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna, 74, who looked stylish in an satin blue and pink long coat, which she cinched in at the waist.

Anna looked incredible as she wore a burgundy pleated dress beneath the eye catching jacket and elevated her frame in a pair of white boots.

Anna said: ‘He is generous and he is kind and he is thoughtful. A boy from humble beginnings with an extraordinary gift who became world famous but never let it go to his head.’

Speaking about the project, David took to a small stage to greet the guests and give background on why he took on the documentary.

He said:  ‘A lot of people wanted me to make a documentary for many years but I didn’t feel like it was the right time.

‘It was all about piecing the team together and putting the right director in and making sure I was surrounded with people that could jog my memory.’

It comes after David admitted he and wife Victoria have wondered how they have survived 27 years together given all that they have been through.

The former Manchester United player said they both became ’emotional’ watching the recent documentary series about him.

He said that despite all the ‘ups and downs’ in his life he is grateful they are still happy as it approaches their silver wedding anniversary in July.

David said: ‘That’s one of the things we both, me and Victoria, probably both get emotional about, and after watching the documentary after everything was over and we watched it finally, that’s the one thing that we looked at each other and was like, “I don’t know how we got through the last 27 years, but we did and we have an amazing family, amazing business and we’re happy.”

‘And yeah, of course, when you’re with someone for that amount of time, of course you have your ups and downs, everybody knows that and at the end of the day we were lucky because we had each other at those moments.

‘You know, she was a Spice Girl, I was playing for Manchester United, and even when we were going through the difficult times, we actually had each other to feed off and that was the best part.

‘Obviously we were 21 and 22 when we met. We got married when we was 23 and 24 and we had our first son when I was 23, so as soon as we had our first son, Brooklyn, that also added another layer to the family and our responsibilities then were to our son.’

David is busy pursuing his business interests with fashion and beauty brands as well as being part-owner and President of MLS football club Inter Miami after a glittering career as a player.

He explained: ‘I’m so happy. I am very happy because I feel very blessed to have had the career that I’ve had and played for the teams that I have and experienced that.

‘And the one thing that I always wanted for me, I was lucky I met Victoria when I met her because I always wanted to have kids young.

‘I always wanted to have kids that lived through my career with me and I was lucky the three boys all lived through most of the teams that I played for and that, for me, was a really important part of my life.’

 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been forced to speak out to set the record straight after their charity Archewell was temporarily forced to suspend all fundraising

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “were almost hysterical” when they found out about the drama surrounding their Archewell charity, according to one royal expert.

The non-profit organisation had been forced to suspend all fundraising and spending over claims it had failed to submit its annual report and registration fees. However, an investigation has found Archewell was never out of compliance and all files and required payment were sent and delivered to the Attorney General’s Office via tracked mail and received on time. The charity’s new status has been updated to “current”.

News of the drama broke when the couple were in Nigeria to promote the Invictus Games. Royal author Tom Quinn has suggested Meghan and Harry would have panicked when the scandal was made public.

For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Tom said: “According to friends of the couple, Harry and Meghan were almost hysterical when they were told their charity Archewell had been banned from charitable activities for failing to pay their registration fee.

“The couple insist it was just a simple mistake and that the cheque is in the post, but however you dress it up, it looks like incompetence.” He added: “Harry and Meghan are highly sensitive about any criticism of their charitable work, especially since over the past few years at least five senior Archewell staff have resigned. One former staffer said that Meghan was a delightful person but difficult to work for unless she is allowed full control over everything: ‘She does not share power!’”

The initial scathing letter from California’s attorney general, Rob Bonta, said the charity had allowed official registration fees to lapse since the beginning of May. It said the charity was then considered “not in good standing” and was restricted from undertaking activities requiring registration.

A source close to Archewell previously spoke to The Mirror about the Archewell drama and insisted the fees were never late. The source claimed: “For whatever reason, it has not been cashed. As soon as the foundation learnt of the problem, they immediately issued another cheque. Harry and Meghan’s team hope this will quickly resolve the issue within the next week.”

A representative for AWF later told The Mirror: “We have diligently investigated the situation and can confirm that The Archewell Foundation remains fully compliant and in good standing. Due payments were made promptly and in accordance with the IRS’s processes and procedures. Furthermore, all necessary paperwork had been filed by the Foundation without error or wrongdoing.”

In a statement to The LA Times, the California attorney general’s press office said: “After being in touch with our Registry of Charities and Fundraisers, the organisation is current and in good standing.” Speaking in a press conference, California governor Gavin Newsom defended Archewell, stating: “I just want folks to know, not only are they in compliance, it was a technical paperwork issue that was wildly over-hyped.”

When Prince Harry wanted to pop the question to Meghan Markle, he had to ask his late grandmother the Queen for permission first, but in his memoir Spare he admits he wasn’t quite prepared for her answer

Exactly six years ago today, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot – but there was one obstacle they first had to overcome.

Before Harry even proposed to Meghan he had to ask for his permission to do so from his late grandmother due to a long-standing royal tradition.

The first six people in the line of succession must ask the monarch for permission to become engaged. So when the duke realised he was ready to make the next step with Meghan, he broached the late Queen for her blessing before presenting the former actress with her ring.

And in his memoir Spare, he details the moment he plucked up the courage to broach the subject with his granny – and her ‘cryptic’ nine-word response.

In the book, Harry says he decided to wait until the family were on a shooting trip in Sandringham before raising the subject, hoping it would put the late Queen in a ‘good mood’.

Once the shoot was finished Harry managed to get his grandmother alone, admitting his mind was racing. He recalls his exact words in Spare, telling his grandmother how much he loved Meg and that he wanted to marry her.

According to the book, he then awkwardly asked: “I’ve been told that I have to ask your permission before I can propose”. He says the Queen then replied: “You have to?” to which Harry replied that is what he had been told.

He then details a moment of silence before the Queen replied and told him: “Well then, I suppose I have to say yes.”

Harry admits he was completely thrown by her answer. He writes: “I didn’t get it. Was she being sarcastic? Ironic? Deliberately cryptic? Was she indulging in a bit of wordplay? I’d never known Granny to do any wordplay and this would be a surpassingly bizarre moment (not to mention widely inconvenient) for her to start, but maybe she just saw the chance to play off my unfortunate use of the word ‘have’ and couldn’t resist”

He claims he stood there trying to work out what she was saying, but then ‘realised’ she was saying yes, describing himself as a ‘muppet’. He then thanked her, saying it was ‘fabulous’.

Once he had the go-ahead, it came to designing the ring and planning the perfect moment with Meghan. He took two diamonds from Princess Diana’s collection and one he procured from his beloved Botswana to create the gold ring.

He popped the question during a night in at their Kensington Palace home. The couple roasted a chicken and then headed outside with candles to sit under the stars. But Harry almost gave the game away with his choice of drinks for the casual weekday dinner.

Speaking of his proposal in their Netflix show Harry & Meghan, the prince explained: “I did pop a bottle of champagne while she was roasting a chicken and that kind of slightly gave the game away. She was like, ‘You never drink champagne, what’s the occasion?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know, I just had it like, lying around”

While he set things up, Meghan called a friend to share the excitement. She recorded the phone call, and can be heard saying: “Oh my God Jess, Jess, it’s happening, it’s happening. He told me not to peek.”

The couple shared a romantic photo of the moment on the docuseries, showing Harry kneeling on a blanket holding a ring box in one hand and their dog Guy’s collar in the other while a bunch of white roses sat on the floor in front of him.

Recalling the moment in their engagement interview, Harry said: “She didn’t even let me finish. She said, ‘Can I say yes? Can I say yes?’ and then there were hugs and I had the ring in my hand and I was like, ‘Can I – can I give you the ring?’ She goes, ‘Oh yes the ring’. So no it was – it was a really nice moment, it was just the two of us and I think managed to catch – catch her by surprise as well.”

Life is very different for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now compared to when they married on this day six years ago in a lavish ceremony in Windsor – and one royal expert believes their latest moves have surprised everyone

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have set up a new ‘non-royal’ family after abandoning the Firm – despite still “flaunting their titles”, an expert has claimed.

The couple were granted their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles on this day six years ago when they married in a lavish ceremony at Windsor Castle. Back then, many were excited to see the modern touch the dazzling couple would bring to the monarchy. However, just over a year later, they sensationally quit their royal roles for a life in California with their children. Just last week, the Sussexes embarked on a ‘non royal tour’ to Nigeria, where they received a glowing reception.

And according to royal expert and historian Dr Tessa Dunlop, six years on from their Windsor wedding, the “Harry and Meghan train is still gathering speed”. She told the Mirror: ” Never underestimate the power of love. No pending seven-year itch for them. They are too busy making new friends on royal (or rather non-royal) tours of Africa, enjoying pop-up appearances in St Pauls and at polo matches and hosting press conferences on subjects close to their hearts.

“Despite the best efforts of the naysayers, their marriage looks rock solid. Harry has a new Californian glow, and Meghan, ever the actress, is never far from his arm, the adoring wife of a dashing Duke.

“The couple’s latest trip to Nigeria played to both their strengths, this was a team effort and we all know that marriage works best when both sides feel seen. Harry, ever the prince, glad-handed excited well-wishers and talked up the power of sport while Meghan, chic in African accessories, owned her ‘role model status and referred to Nigeria as ‘my country’. The Duke and Duchess were a smash-hit.

“Wayback when in 2020, ‘half-in, half-out’ was the Sussexes’ request. ‘No way’ came the royal retort, so Harry and Meghan turned on their heels and left. By abandoning the British Royal Family, they bound themselves ever tighter to each other. Many predicted this co-dependence would be their downfall, which the Sussex brand would not sustain. How wrong they were.

“Miles from home, minus all that is familiar, Harry needs a turbo-charged Meghan by his side, and likewise Meghan, once upon a time a bit-part actress, has entered a new realm courtesy of her prince. Together they are stronger than the sum of their parts and they know it. It helps that beneath the choreography and posing there still appears to be a real spark.”

Meanwhile, Tessa admits that for some in the UK, it might be a bittersweet pill to swallow to see the Sussexes enjoying success – but ultimately, their royal status cannot be taken away.

She explained: “From a British point of view, this all feels somewhat bittersweet. After all, the Sussexes flaunt British titles, and their blockbuster wedding (including security), was in large part funded by us, the British taxpayer. Yet as they trip around the world, the new ‘non-royal’ family, they are very much their own entity, no one is flying a Union flag. Ultimately that is their prerogative.

“Once a prince, always a prince, no one can take Harry’s royal status away from him, nor can we deny the fairytale aspect of their romance. Like it or not, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are proof that true love can blossom outside palace walls.”

One special moment during the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left him ‘blown away’, an expert has said, ending months of tensions over the big day

Prince Harry was left ‘blown away’ by Meghan Markle on their wedding day at one special moment, a body language expert has said.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex tied the knot six years ago on May 19, 2018, in a memorable service at St George’s Chapel on the Windsor Castle grounds. Millions watched around the world as the royal and his new American bride said their ‘I do’s’, confounding months of nervous build-up to the big day.

But it was one particular part of the royal wedding that seemed to leave a big impression on Harry and release any tension, according to body language analyst Darren Stanton.

Speaking to Betfair Live Casino, Darren said Harry seemed “nervous” while waiting for Meghan to arrive on their wedding day. But she on the other hand appeared “calm” and “confident”, with everything “falling into place” once she entered the church.

Describing the impact of her entrance on Harry, he said: “When Harry first saw Meghan on their wedding day, Harry was blown away. He couldn’t stop smiling and couldn’t stop looking her in the eyes. This shows how real their connection is. As soon as they locked eyes with each other, Harry’s body language relaxed. It shows how connected they are as a couple. It means that when they are together and can be themselves, but also feel comfortable when they have each other by their side.”

Speaking on how their relationship has developed since their wedding day, the expert also touched on how the couple have gone from strength to strength, and appear to have each other’s backs as husband and wife. He said: “When we look at Harry and Meghan as a couple, they are very compatible together. They balance out each other’s personalities perfectly. When they were having their photos taken after the ceremony, their gestures with one another showed how they had a passionate but very trusting relationship. They were tactile with each other, which speaks volumes about their trust levels as a couple. They know each other inside out and it comes across as completely natural.”

Much has happened for the couple since the wedding, including two children Archie, five, and Lilibet, two, as well as a dramatic exit from the Royal Family and attempts to begin a new media career in the US. And in a tell-all Oprah chat, Meghan claimed actually married Harry three days before their extravagant royal event. She said the Archbishop of Canterbury had carried out the wedding in their garden at Kensington Palace three days before the official date. Harry also said in the 2021 interview that the secret ceremony was attended by “just the three of us”.

According to an expert, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s marriage has gotten stronger with their relationship going from ‘strength to strength’ over the last six years

Six years ago today, Prince Harry married his American bride Meghan Markle after going public with their engagement just months before. The pair tied the knot at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, surrounded by loved ones as the world watched and marvelled at the televised event.

It has now been revealed by an expert that over the years, the couple’s marriage has gone from “strength to strength” as they “have each other’s backs”. This comes amid many milestone moments during their marriage – from welcoming their first child, stepping down as senior royals, moving to America, welcoming another child, and working on various exciting projects.

Body language expert Darren Stanton has looked at how the couple felt moments before tying the knot – as well as how their relationship has developed since. Mr Stanton has revealed some very interesting things, with him noting how Harry was “nervous” while waiting for Meghan to emerge down the aisle, with him also revealing that their relationship has since gone from “strength to strength” as husband and wife.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Live Casino, body language expert Darren Stanton revealed: “Since their wedding day in 2018, Harry and Meghan have been through a lot together and it has made their relationship go from strength to strength. From looking at their engaged eye contact, it’s clear they have a deep rapport with each other.”

Mr Stanton added that over the years, the Sussexes have demonstrated how “real” their relationship is. He said: “They’ve overcome a lot and always have each other’s backs, whatever situation they are faced with. They’re both independent individuals, who bring out the best in each other.

“That is shown by how their levels of confidence and resilience have grown since their relationship first began. The fact they have been through so much together has made their connection even stronger.”

Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal roles in 2020, with the couple moving to America that same year. The Sussexes now reside in the lavish neighbourhood of Montecito, with them rubbing shoulders with the likes of Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey and Katy Perry – all of whom reside close by to the young family.
