King Charles’ Moving Decision Leaves William and Kate Middleton in Tears

In a surprising development, royal circles are abuzz with news of King Charles’s unexpected decision regarding the inheritance of the Prince and Princess of Wales following his remarkable recovery from a recent health scare. This decision marks a significant shift in the family’s residential dynamics.

At the center of this royal drama is the historic Royal Lodge, a sprawling estate nestled in Windsor Great Park. For nearly two decades, it has been leased to Prince Andrew, Duke of York, under an arrangement with the Crown Estate dating back to 2003. Reflecting both familial duty and practical necessity, King Charles has reportedly chosen to reclaim the Royal Lodge and redirect its future course.

This decision comes at a crucial time as the royal family rallies around Princess Catherine during her battle with a serious health condition. With King Charles now on the throne, there is renewed focus on optimizing the use of royal properties to best serve the family’s evolving needs. This vision includes placing key members in residences that align with their roles and responsibilities.

Currently residing in the modest Adelaide Cottage, Prince William and Princess Catherine are seen as the likely recipients of the Royal Lodge if Prince Andrew vacates the property. This spacious 30-room residence would represent an upgrade for the Wales, given its size and proximity to Windsor.

The growing responsibilities of Prince William and Catherine’s heightened public role make a move to a more prominent and spacious home near Windsor increasingly necessary. This need is underscored by Catherine’s recent health battle, which has garnered sympathy and concern both publicly and within the royal family. Ensuring she has a supportive and secure environment is now a top priority.

The Royal Lodge’s proximity to Windsor Castle and ample space make it an ideal residence for the Wales. This move would allow them to remain close to the heart of royal activities while providing Catherine with the peace and privacy she needs during her treatment and recovery.

Addressing the complexities at play, it’s noted that while the Royal Lodge might have seemed a logical choice for the Prince and Princess of Wales, their reluctance to undergo another move could have influenced the King’s decision. However, King Charles appears to have charted a different course, prompting speculation about his motives and long-term plans for the monarchy’s properties.

Returning the property to Crown control presents an opportunity for refurbishment and potential revenue generation through leasing, contributing to the monarchy’s financial stability. Beyond real estate logistics, the dispute over the Royal Lodge highlights strained relations between King Charles and his younger brother, Prince Andrew. Reports suggest the King is considering cutting financial support for Andrew’s residence at the Royal Lodge, potentially escalating tensions within the royal family.

With 54 years remaining on Andrew’s lease, he plans to honor its terms, intending to pass it on to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie for their use. Although not working members of the royal family, this arrangement adds another layer to the ongoing saga.

As this unfolding drama captivates royal enthusiasts and the global public alike, the ramifications of King Charles’s decisions are set to reverberate throughout Buckingham Palace and beyond. Each twist in the tale leaves the future of the Royal Lodge and its occupants uncertain, as Prince William and Princess Catherine navigate uncharted waters amid King Charles’s evolving reign.

What were the reasons behind Meghan Markle’s decision to turn her mother into a live-in nanny?

In my opinion there has been consistent evidence which demonstrates that Meghan Markle lacks the skills and attitudes required to manage staff and within hours of Archie requiring new born care ( surrogate or not) his first nurse had been dismissed.

 

Given the fact that there has been much controversy over these two ephemeral children who have been hidden from public view since birth it would have been far preferable to have employed a skilled, highly trained nanny if these children are to achieve recognised childhood benchmarks and to develop coping strategies for later life. Doria Ragland’s life and work history would indicate that she is not the right person for this critical role.

Did shocking footage truly show Lilibet’s biological mother reclaiming her daughter, causing Meghan Markle to panic?
In this day and age anything to do with Meghan can not be trusted.I saw today the below picture.And a few words that followed.

However until that woman, who ever she is comes forward to tell the true story that could be checked out, in all fairness I will continue to believe it is fake. I hasten to add though, what you see above is much what I am expecting to see in the future. And I wouldn’t be too surprised if the above proved to be true after all. .

 

The logic of all this is quite simple Archie was introduced to the queen and the royal family so he exists. Lilibet I suggest is real too. All that’s really needs to be determined is , how. Something simple I guess, loads of money and a willing other partner. How hard is that.

All flights have flight manifests, AFZ Agh, listing all people on the flight. Yes, even poor plebs like myself, appear on commercial flight manifests. It is the law, and necessary in case of emergencies. Costa Rica is a foreign country to the US. So passports would also be necessary for all of the Harkles.

 

These are the same issues that came up with all of the lies regarding the “children” being in the UK. To go back even further in time, this issue first came up during Mexit. They left little “Archie” in Canada, but there were no reports of a child leaving with them in the first place. Then the “freedom flight” from Canada to California, no child. Tangled webs, again, from the duplicitous duo.

David Beckham has revealed he had to wait ‘over two decades’ before getting any approval from his father over his successful football career.

Chatting to James Corden on his podcast series This Life of Mine, David, 48, admitted his ambitious drive came from the desire to please his father Ted – earning a ‘you’ve made it boy’ only after he won 100 caps.

‘My dad never told me I’d done well really until my hundredth cap. That was the first time my dad turned around to me and said, ‘you’ve made it boy’.

He said he didn’t get the same recognition at any other point in his career despite six Premier League titles, two FA cups, four Community Shields and a Champions League title.

David added: ‘It was the moment that we sat at dinner after I’d won my hundredth cap in Paris and he put his arm around me, and said, ‘you made it, boy.’

The former footballer explained he and his two sisters were raised in a loving him by two ‘hard-working parents’ – but his dad always pushed him to do more during his Sunday league football team.

‘He very rarely turned around to me and said, ”well done, boy. You did well today, you played well,” he confessed.

But the Salford City co-owner admitted to be only grateful for his father’s methods, which prepared him – both mentally and physically – for the hardest challenges of his football career.

‘Stepping out onto that stadium in front of our fans, whether they loved me or hated me, I loved every minute of every game that I played in,’ David said.

But the former footballer also admitted to have gone ‘a lot softer’ with his four children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper – as he chose not to be as tough.

During the candid chat, David also opened up about his long marriage with Victoria, 49, revealing it has only strengthen over the years.

‘We actually like each other,’ he said bluntly and admitted they now enjoy dinners, even in silence.

David has also admitted he didn’t realise how ‘strong’ his wife Victoria was until they got married.

The football legend tied the knot with the singer-turned-fashion designer in 1999 after two years of dating.

He revealed that he ‘really fancied’ her at the time, even though he ‘didn’t know’ who she really was until their relationship progressed.

Speaking on SiriusXM’s show, he said: ‘I really just fancied her. I did. I just fancied her.

‘I didn’t know what she was like as a person. I just actually fancied her like most people did at that time, and I didn’t know who I was marrying [or] who I was going to be with for the rest of my life.

‘I didn’t realise what a strong woman she was, and that is what really attracted me to her more than anything.’

While David thinks Victoria – the mother of his children is ‘beautiful’ and ‘sexy’, his heart lies with her caring side.

He admitted: ‘I like a strong woman, and I like the fact that she works hard. I like the fact that she’s a great mum.

‘I like the fact that she looks after me sometimes, most of the time, and you know, we’ve created this life with four amazing children, which are the most important things in our life, so that’s why I chose Victoria… the way that she kind of runs the family.’

The retired footballer will forever hold the Spice Girls song Say You’ll Be There in his heart because the music video first attracted him to Victoria.

He said: ‘It’s my favourite because it was the song that was on the TV when I was sat in my room with Gary Neville and it came on the telly and that was when I turned around to Gary and said, ‘I’m gonna marry that one in the short black dress.”

It comes after David spent weeks supporting his wife through Paris Fashion Week with a broken foot as she showed the world how truly strong she can be.

David was ever the gentleman as he held an umbrella to protect his wife from the rain as they stepped out in Paris earlier this month.

He helped the ex Spice Girl, as they headed for a family dinner just 24 hours after her successful show fashion week show in the city.

Despite still hobbling on crutches, after suffering an ankle injury during a recent gym work out, Victoria cut a chic figure in all black.

Following the show David couldn’t contain his pride for his wife as he took to Instagram to share his love for the fashion designer.

He gushed that he was ‘so proud’ of Victoria after she failed to let her injury or protestors spoil her big night.

David wrote: ‘So proud of you for many reasons but this season threw a lot at you and again you just did what you do best. we love you @victoriabeckham’.

Despite her ankle injury and the show being invaded by Peta protestors, she continued to enjoy her big night by her husband and children Brooklyn, Cruz, and Harper.

In a jokey snap, David gave Victoria a piggy-back while holding a bottle of champagne as Victoria thanked him for his support, while making reference to her injury.

She wrote: ‘Always supporting me (literally) I love you so much x Kisses x’.

Inter Miami president David Beckham and co-owners Jorge Mas and Jose Mas completed the signing of talented midfielder Federico Redondo, 21, son of former player Fernando Redondo, last week.

However, Federico Redondo was still unable to play in Inter Miami’s match against LA Galaxy (1-1 draw) on February 26.

“Federico Redondo is completely fine. He has just finished the 2024 Olympic qualifiers with the Argentina U.23 team, so he is in perfect physical condition.

We have been monitoring and observing Federico Redondo very closely, he will soon train with the first team.

The delay in his ability to play is due to paperwork issues, not due to physical problems or changes in environment,”

coach Tata Martino explained, in response to questions from the American press after Inter Miami drew LA Galaxy away on February 26.

According to AS (Spain): “Federico Redondo will soon complete the paperwork this week. Inter Miami Club President David Beckham has good relationships with the MLS organizing committee, so this is not too big of a problem.

Even from the impact on the promotion of Inter Miami Club and the influence of Messi, as well as through the recruitment of Federico Redondo as a promising talent, American football officials met this week to discuss plans to change the transfer rules, allowing clubs to spend more money to buy top stars to the MLS”.

Federico Redondo signed a contract with Inter Miami under the “MLS U.22 Initiative” for youth teams, including a term until 2027 and an option to extend the following year. The contract value is 8 million USD, but if the team of former player David Beckham transfers Federico Redondo in the future, they will have to pay back 15% of the value to the player’s old club, Argentinos Juniors (Argentina).

Federico Redondo also said that choosing to join Inter Miami is to play alongside famous player Messi as he dreamed.

This dream is about to come true, when Federico Redondo will definitely be promoted to the Inter Miami first team and can play in the match against Orlando City SC at 4:30 a.m. on March 3, in the third round of the 2024 MLS tournament. After this match, Inter Miami will enter the regional arena with the first leg of the round of 16 of the CONCACAF Champions Cup against Nashville SC (USA) or Moca (Dominican Republic) at 9:00 a.m. on March 8.

Therefore, the addition of Federico Redondo to the Inter Miami squad will strengthen the team, helping former player David Beckham’s team aim to conquer championships including MLS, CONCACAF Champions Cup, Leagues Cup and US Open Cup.

Despite being an integral part of the glamorous and trophy-laden years at Old Trafford under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson,

Beckham made a surprising revelation that he absolutely adores Klopp for his personality and his contributions to the sport.

Given that the rivalry between United and Liverpool is one of the fiercest in football history, the lavish praise coming from a former Red Devil is a rare occurrence.

Speaking on the Smartless podcast, Beckham stated: “Even as a Man United fan, I love Jurgen. I love his character, his personality, and what he brings to the sport.”

He went on to acknowledge the potential backlash from his United peers with a touch of humour, saying: “I am going to get killed by some of my Man United friends.

I am sad to see him leave. What he has done for the club and the sport has been incredible.”

Klopp bid his final farewell to Liverpool on Sunday, with Feyenoord’s Arne Slot announced as his successor. The German manager is now a free agent and hence Beckham was asked if he would consider bringing Klopp to Inter Miami.

The former England captain dismissed the idea with a hilarious response: “We’ve not got much money left.”

As Klopp steps away from Liverpool, he plans to take a well-deserved break. According to the Daily Mail, he is set to begin his hiatus at a luxury hotel in Majorca – close to his under-construction mansion on the Balearic Islands. Interestingly, Klopp will be in good company with former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers and his ex-pupil, Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski, as his neighbours.
Beckham’s admiration for Klopp goes beyond just his personality and character. The former footballer also appreciates Klopp’s tactical acumen and his ability to bring out the best in his players. As a manager, Klopp has a track record of transforming teams and turning them into formidable opponents on the field. Beckham recognizes the impact that Klopp has had on the sport and how his innovative tactics have changed the game.Despite the intense rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool, Beckham’s praise for Klopp highlights the respect that transcends club loyalties. It’s rare to see such adulation from a former player of one of Liverpool’s biggest rivals, but it speaks to the special qualities that Klopp possesses. His ability to inspire, motivate, and instill confidence in his players sets him apart from the rest.As Klopp takes a break from his managerial duties, it’s clear that his influence will continue to be felt in the football world. His time at Liverpool may have come to an end, but his legacy will endure for years to come. Beckham’s acknowledgement of Klopp’s impact on the sport only adds to the appreciation that fans and players alike have for the German manager.While Beckham may not be considering bringing Klopp to Inter Miami due to financial constraints, the bond between the two transcends any potential professional partnerships. Klopp’s presence in the football world will be sorely missed, but his mark on the sport is indelible. As he enjoys his well-deserved break in Majorca, surrounded by friends and former colleagues, Klopp can reflect on his incredible contributions to the beautiful game.

David Beckham shocked the soccer world after Inter Miami signed arguably the greatest player of all time, Lionel Messi. Thus, both David and Messi have been the talk of the soccer community for a while now.

Interestingly, it’s not David who rose to the spotlight but rather his daughter and famous sister-in-law.

A few days ago, Nicola Peltz, the daughter-in-law of David Beckham gave the fanbase a sneak peek of her ongoing summer break with the ever-famous Selena Gomez.

Now, Nicola has once again taken over the internet after sharing ‘matching tattoo’ images with her sister-in-law, Harper Beckham, as a birthday tribute.

Nicola Peltz Beckham shows off ‘matching tattoo’ with Harper Beckham

Sitting in the tiny living room of his childhood home in Leytonstone, East London, few occasions would bring a young David Beckham to his feet beyond a goal being scored on TV.

But such was his love of the Royal Family that every Christmas, dressed in his Sunday best, he would stand up for the Queen’s Speech.

It was as much a fixture of his Royal calendar as Trooping the Colour. Every June, David’s grandparents Peggy and Joseph took him and his two sisters 13 miles across London to Horse Guards Parade, hoping to glimpse the Queen.

So how thrilled David is now, some 40 years later, to be allowed behind the velvet rope and into the royal fold as the first ambassador for the renamed King’s Foundation.

And what sweetened David’s aristocratic rise was, it can be revealed, a jar of honey.

David has kept bees on his country estate in Oxfordshire since lockdown, and handed a pot of his homemade honey

– inimitably named DBee’z Sticky Stuff – to the King at the British Fashion Council awards in London last May.

The monarch was apparently ‘stunned’ at the gift, not least because he realised that the football icon – who hails from a very different world and is known better for free-kicks, high fashion and changing haircuts – was a fellow apiarist.

A friend of the star tells me: ‘A strong bond has forged between them. When David handed over the honey, the King looked surprised – perhaps he didn’t expect that the footballer from East London would be into beekeeping, and he was intrigued by David’s love for the countryside.’

And it was that curiosity that prompted the King to invite David to his Highgrove residence in Gloucestershire.

But what does one wear to meet the King? For David, it was head-to-toe Purdey, a label favoured for the country gent look. He wore a £2,995 estate evening duke jacket, merino wool flannel trousers costing £560 and the Purdey grain leather shoes, available for £595.

Green-fingered Charles proudly gave him a tour of his beloved gardens and introduced him to stone carvers on the estate and craftspeople making furniture and textiles.

The ex-England captain is no stranger to the countryside since buying his Grade II-listed Cotswolds home an hour’s drive away near Chipping Norton in 2016.

In his recent eponymous documentary on Netflix, David explained how lucky he felt to be able to escape there, tending to his bees and chickens, taking strolls around his lake and planting trees – as he did with his daughter Harper during lockdown.

Now, having a role at a royal foundation that promotes the natural world and a sustainable future, particularly to the young, has left David ‘honoured and delighted’.

A friend of his explains: ‘David comes from a working class family, and like many with that background, he holds the monarchy in high esteem.

‘He absolutely adored Queen Elizabeth, which surely won’t be lost on King Charles.’

His courtship of the royals has been decades in the making.

In 2003, it was the Queen who presented an ‘overjoyed’ Beckham with an OBE for his services to football at Buckingham Palace.

In 2010, David worked with Prince William, then-president of the FA, to bring stardust to prime minister David Cameron’s ultimately unsuccessful bid for England to host the 2018 World Cup.

The pair have engaged on several projects together since, including a mental health campaign in 2020.

But it was when the Queen died in September 2022 that David wore his affection for the monarchy so publicly.

Together with some 250,000 mourners who saw her lying in state at Westminster Hall, David queued for 12 hours through the night, wearing his Sunday best as if he were back in his Leytonstone living room on Christmas Day. Speaking to the Mail a year later, he said: ‘I was at home when I heard that the Queen had been taken ill. You could feel the whole country was holding its breath. When the announcement came, we all felt like we wanted to get together with family and friends.

‘You could sense the waves of sympathy for the Royal Family coming from around the world. They showed how loved she was. I thought of my mum and dad and my late grandparents, and how they brought us up to respect the Royal Family.

‘That was what made me join the queue for the Lying in State.’

David’s new bond with the King will, of course, prompt questions over whether his next honour will be a knighthood. He was previously turned down for one over a past association with a tax avoidance scheme, and emails leaked in 2017 revealed he was furious.

But time is a remarkable healer. He has long since settled his tax issues with HM Revenue and Customs, and his dream of becoming Sir David could yet come true.

But his supporters will argue that the trust Charles has shown in David as ambassador to the Kings Foundation, and the personal bond the pair have created, is rehabilitation enough.

The star has been, of course, no stranger to public scrutiny. Who can forget the death threats after his red card against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup?

Or the accusations made by Rebecca Loos that he cheated on wife Victoria while he was living in Madrid? And only two years ago, he was paid millions to be the face of the controversial Qatar World Cup.

Undoubtedly he has come a long way, not least as the child who stood to attention during the Queen’s Speech to now standing shoulder to shoulder with her son.

Has David Beckham’s appointment as ambassador to the King’s Foundation smoothed his path to a knighthood?

He was furious when he wasn’t gonged in 2013, raging in an email – which he claims was faked – about the bunch of ‘c****’ who run the honours system.

He took exception to singer Katherine Jenkins getting an honour, asking: ‘Katherine Jenkins OBE for what?

Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops. F****** joke.’ All forgotten now?

Motherland’s Anna Maxwell Martin, pictured, insists she has never been stung by cruel reviews suggesting she isn’t the prettiest actress in the firmament.

‘I feel really lucky I got so many brilliant, interesting parts that had nothing to do with the way I looked,’ says Anna.

‘I’m not putting myself down. I’ve got very high self-esteem, but I didn’t have to compete with Sienna Miller. I don’t want to look like a bag of s****.’

Keith Moon’s penchant for throwing TV sets from high-rise hotel windows is recalled by former Melody Maker scribe Chris Charlesworth, who remembers The Who drummer addressing the night porter: ‘I don’t know how I can possibly apologise for that terrible accident.

I was trying to move the television closer to the window, so that more of my guests could watch it from the bed, when it slipped from my grasp.’

Amid further apologies he added: ‘If you’re coming back, would you be so kind as to bring two more bottles of chilled champagne… and another TV?’
There has been much speculation about whether David Beckham’s new role as ambassador for the King’s Foundation has paved the way for a potential knighthood. Despite his past outburst in 2013, where he expressed his frustration with the honours system, calling the decision-makers unsavory names, it seems that time has healed old wounds. His comments about singer Katherine Jenkins receiving an OBE for what he deemed as trivial reasons are now a thing of the past.Moving on to a more positive note, Anna Maxwell Martin of Motherland fame has never let harsh critiques about her appearance affect her self-worth. She is grateful for the diverse and fulfilling roles she has been able to portray, which were not based on her looks. Unlike some actresses who feel the pressure to conform to a certain standard of beauty, Anna remains confident in her abilities without comparing herself to others like Sienna Miller.On a lighter note, the antics of legendary drummer Keith Moon, known for his wild behavior, are still remembered fondly by those who knew him. Former Melody Maker writer Chris Charlesworth recalls a humorous incident where Keith attempted to move a TV closer to a window in a high-rise hotel, only to accidentally drop it out the window. Despite the mishap, Keith managed to charm the night porter with his apologies and requests for more champagne and another TV.Stay tuned for more fascinating stories and updates from us, as we strive to provide you with valuable and engaging content.

Celebrity friendships are very common in Hollywood given that they understand what it is like to be in the public eye better than those not in the industry.

Stars like Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire, and George Clooney and Brad Pitt, are just some examples of friendships that have stood the test of time.

However, just like celebrity romances, not all friendships are built to last. When they come apart at the seams, it is not quiet and there is drama involved.

The beef between the former friends gets leaked and the issues become public knowledge and what could have been squashed blows further out of proportion.

Mark Wahlberg and David Beckham were once friends, but now they are fighting over money. In the process, other celebrities like Tom Cruise have gotten in the middle of the feud.

This dispute has not only ruined a business relationship the Beckham and Walhberg had, but the chances of the two becoming friends again are slim to none.

How Mark Wahlberg And David Beckham Met

David Beckham and Mark Wahlberg met after Walhberg made comments about Beckham to the press

When Walhberg and Beckham first met, it was not on the best of terms. Wahlberg called out Beckham and his wife, Victoria Beckham after they moved into the Beverly Hills neighborhood where Wahlberg lived.

Before their arrival, the neighborhood was quiet. It was not because of a lack of celebrities. After all, people like Wahlberg, Rihanna, Denzel Washington, and more lived there. But it was Beckham’s superstar status due to soccer that put him in a completely different celebrity stratosphere. Because of this, crowds flocked to the exclusive Beverly Hills neighborhood in droves, which completely annoyed Wahlberg.

“Man, the Beckhams. It used to be so quiet on my road,” Wahlberg explained in 2009. “Then David moves in with his family. Suddenly we’ve got paparazzi hanging out day and night. Now they’ll follow any car that drives down the road. I take strong exception to that kind of thing. When I take my kids to the park I don’t want strangers sticking their lenses into our faces.”

Wahlberg went on to say, “I’m not telling Beckham to take his family home. I’m just not sure why he came to America in the first place. Man, we don’t want your soccer. There’s no way Americans are going to buy the idea of 90 minutes of running around without much happening. Thanks for trying guys, but we’ll stick to baseball and basketball.”

When the interview came out, Wahlberg recognized that the piece sounded like he was angry at Beckham. Yet it later seemed clear that Wahlberg wasn’t salty. Wahlberg eventually met up with Beckham for something work-related. It was then that the two hit it off and became friends.

“He (Beckham) wanted me to email him about something – I don’t know if it was a film. I had said something, half joking, because his house is at the bottom of our hill and a lot of people hang around the area,” Wahlberg said.

“So I said something like, ‘I don’t like him being here because of that.’”

Wahlberg concluded, “I met him and some of his sons and he seems like a nice guy… I wanted to make sure he hadn’t taken that (remark) personally.”

David Beckham Called Mark Wahlberg His “Friend”

David Beckham referred to Mark Wahlberg as his “friend” is a statement he released about partnering with F45

In the time from 2009 when Wahlberg and Beckham met until 2020, the two formed a close relationship. This was clear when Beckham released a statement that he was going to be partnering with the fitness franchise, F45, which Wahlberg is a chief brand officer as of 2023.

In the statement, Beckham called Walhberg his “friend” as he looks forward to what the partnership between himself and F45 will bring for the future.

“I’ve been a fan of the F45 franchise and training model since being introduced by my friend, Mark Wahlberg. Health and fitness have always been a big part of my life and, since my days playing football, I have always found I’m at my best when training as part of a team,” the statement read.

“F45 has a strong community and trainers that help you reach your goals and achieve powerful results. This partnership is an exciting business venture for me also, and I’m looking forward to the journey with F45 as the business continues to expand globally.”

It is this very partnership that caused a rift between Wahlberg and Beckham. After all, the partnership should have been lucrative for both parties. Instead, both lost millions.

What Caused The Rift Between Mark Wahlberg And David Beckham

When Mark Wahlberg and David Beckham went into business together, it caused their friendship to crumble

In exchange for being a brand ambassador, Beckham was promised stock in F45 when the company went public several months after he made his announcement. Given that F45 was worth hundreds of millions, this would have meant millions of dollars going into Beckham’s pocket.

Conversely, having Beckham as an ambassador should have brought millions not only to F45 but to Wahlberg as well. It looked to be a partnership made in heaven.

However, as the date for F45 going public drew closer, Beckham claimed he still had not received his stocks. Beckham was essentially doing work and not getting paid for it.

This caused a strain on the stars’ friendship. But, it was not until several months after the stock went public that Beckham got truly upset. This is because in February 2022, the stock dropped drastically in valuation. Additionally, F45 had reportedly mismanaged money. The net worth of the company had gone down dramatically.

In all, according to Beckham, the delay in getting paid his “nearly one million shares of stock” cost him $9.3 million. Beckham was upset that he was not only not compensated but that what he was supposed to be compensated with was only worth a fraction of what was promised.

David Beckham’s Company Is Suing F45, Not Mark Wahlberg

While DB Ventures Limited is suing F45, it is still David Beckham suing Mark Wahlberg at the end of the day

Beckham’s company, DB Ventures Limited is the company that has brought the lawsuit against F45. While some look at this as just doing business as Beckham is not suing Wahlberg directly, if Beckham’s lawsuit is successful, it will affect Wahlberg’s bottom line. At the end of the day, the lawsuit that has Victoria admitting she is a “miserable cow” is Beckham versus Wahlberg.

Essentially, to be brand ambassador, Beckham agreed to close to one million shares of stock. This stock was to be paid within six months of F45 going public. Not only was Beckham not paid at that time, by February 2022, the stock had tanked. Beckham lost millions.

Beckham claims in his lawsuit that he was also supposed to be given another “$5 million in stock shares as of July 2022.” This was never paid to Beckham. He is looking to be paid $14.5 million by F45.

F45 has claimed that Beckham did not hold up his end of the contract with the company. Because of this, F45 tried to have the lawsuit thrown out. But, the judge found that Beckham did all that was required of him, per his contract. The case is still moving forward.

Given that neither Wahlberg nor Beckham will want to go to trial, it would not be surprising for the two companies to settle before a trial date is assigned. Whether Beckham or Walhberg will come out victorious does not seem to matter when it comes to their friendship, because the two are already on the outs.
