  • Beckham made a move that made fans gloat after he discovered he was being taken advantage of by Meghan

    Beckham made a move that made fans gloat after he discovered he was being taken advantage of by Meghan

    It was previously reported that the Sussexes were no longer speaking to the Beckhams, and Tom Bower thinks he knows why.

    “She took them for a ride. She lived in their house. She got free clothes. She did everything she could to milk them and then dump them,” Bower said during a GB News appearance.

    “Mr. Bower also said the Duchess of Sussex was worried the Beckhams would ‘overshadow’ her.”

    “Harry invited the Beckhams to come to Sydney for the Invictus Games … He gets there and Harry doesn’t want to see him …

    I think the reason was that Meghan was deeply worried that she would be overshadowed by the Beckhams,” the royal biographer added.


    Once she became a duchess, Meghan’s close circle slowly changed, and one insider sympathized with the Beckhams.

    The Royal Observer previously reported David was rumored to be “absolutely bloody furious” with the Sussexes.

    Shortly after, a source close to the Beckhams revealed their thoughts, and Lizzie Cundy admitted she was outraged by the accusations surrounding the Spice Girl and her footballer spouse.

    “Meghan is saying that Victoria leaked stories,” Cundy explained. “The second time I saw Meghan, Victoria was at the event and I’ve never seen anyone squeal quite like it, Meghan was so thrilled with excited to see Victoria Beckham. She went ‘Oh my God, that’s Victoria Beckham!’”

    The former bond girl later defended Victoria, claiming that Meghan was a superfan of the fashionista before becoming a member of the royal family.

    “It was crazy, I thought ‘You’ve got to calm down and be cool.’ Now Harry has apparently listened to Meghan claiming Victoria has done stories saying where Meghan was going to go,” Cundy shared. “There were places Victoria told Meghan to go to when she came to London and they started appearing in the press.”

    Prince Louis had an important question to ask during his first speaking appearance

    Prince Louis is a much-loved member of the Royal Family and he melted hearts when he spoke on camera for the very first time when he was two-years-old with an important question to ask

    Prince Louis steals the show wherever he goes. With his cheeky behaviour, playful antics and animated expressions, the mischievous royal is adored for his charm and unpredictability.

    The public delight in watching the lively prince behaving just like any other young child – with William and Kate widely praised for their parenting techniques.

    And his sweet nature was immediately apparent when he made his first speaking appearance back in October 2020, when he was just two. Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were given the chance to ask Sir David Attenborough one question about the natural world. It was the first time Louis had been heard speaking.

    The young prince asked: “What animal do you like?” to which Sir David revealed: “I like monkeys best because they are such fun. Mind you, you can’t have monkeys sitting around the home because that’s not where they live. So what can you have at home that you like? Well, which would you choose – a puppy or a kitten? “It’s a very difficult question. I think I’d go for a puppy.”

    Louis’s big brother Prince George wanted to know: “What animal do you think will become extinct next?” “Well, let’s hope there won’t be any,” said Sir David. “There are lots of things we can do when animals are in danger of extinction. We can protect them.”

    He explained how the population of mountain gorillas in central Africa, which were “very, very rare” 40 years ago, had grown from 250 animals to more than 1,000, thanks to public awareness and global fund-raising. “So you can save an animal if you want to and you put your mind to it,” the famous naturalist told the then-seven-year-old prince. “People around the world are doing that because animals are so precious, ” he added. “So let’s hope there won’t be any more that go extinct.”

    Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte, five, began her question with a confident: “Hello David Attenborough! I like spiders, do you like spiders too?” she asked. “I love spiders. I am so glad you like them!” said Sir David. “I think they’re wonderful things.”

    “Why is it that people are so frightened of them? I think it’s because they have actually got eight legs, which are much more than us. And if you’ve got eight legs you can move in any direction – so you can never be quite sure which way that spider is going to go!

    “But spiders are so clever. Have you ever watched one try to build its web? That is extraordinary. How does it make this circular web like that… how do they do it? Try and watch and see how they do it – it’s marvellous.”

  • David suddenly revealed that the reason he left MU was because of his close friend Gary Neville, what happened?

    David suddenly revealed that the reason he left MU was because of his close friend Gary Neville, what happened?

    The DC star told Manchester United icon David Beckham that he is a huge Gary Neville fan.

    Legendary England footballer David Beckham visited India as UNICEF’s goodwill ambassador during the 2023 edition of the ICC World Cup.

    The former Real Madrid midfielder and Manchester United icon watched the ICC World Cup semi-final between India and New Zealand with legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar at the Wankhede Stadium.

    On a three-day visit to India, the English football icon met batting legends Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.

    With Beckham becoming the cynosure of all eyes in the World Cup semi-finals, the former Manchester United captain had a brief chat with spin wizard Kuldeep Yadav.


    In conversation with veteran all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin, the Delhi Capitals star recalled his lesser-known interaction with Beckham.

    Kuldeep told Beckham that he became a fan of the Red Devils after watching Paul Scholes.

    ‘I am a huge Gary Neville fan’

    “I met him after the game (2023 WC against SL) and told him that I used to watch Manchester United because of Paul Scholes. I spoke a bit too directly (laughs). I also told him that I am a huge Gary Neville fan and requested him to let him know whenever he meets him. I told that after I finish my career I probably want to try being a football manager,” Kuldeep told Ashwin.

    Kuldeep picked up 11 wickets for India at the World Cup last year. Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, India recorded a perfect 10 in the round-robin phase of the ICC event. However, India lost the final to Australia at home. Speaking to Ashwin on his YouTube channel, Kuldeep revealed that he wanted to become a fast bowler after watching Pakistan legend Wasim Akram at the 2003 World Cup.

    “I watched Wasim Akram during the 2003 World Cup and I admired him so much that I wanted to be a left-arm fast bowler. But then once my coach Kapil Pandey asked me what my father’s height was. He then realized that maybe since my father was short I also may not become quite tall so instead of fast bowling, I changed into being a spinner,” Kuldeep added.

  • Victoria Beckham teases husband David’s ‘next move’ as he poses for a photo wearing a torn shirt

    Victoria Beckham teases husband David’s ‘next move’ as he poses for a photo wearing a torn shirt

    Victoria Beckham has jokingly teased her husband David’s next career move after he shared a snap she’d taken of him in the gym.

    The fashion designer is no stranger to sharing a cheeky snap or two of her other half but this time, while she was the photographer, it was David doing the sharing.

    Taking to his Instagram page, the former footballer showcased his ripped abs and countless tattoos as he enjoyed a session in the gym.

    David, 48, could be seen sporting just a pair of navy sports shorts and kept his feet covered in a pair of bright green trainers.

    The ex-England and Manchester United star was seen looking away from the camera, surrounded by gym equipment,


    as he thanked his wife Victoria, 50, for being his ‘lighting technician’ while posing in the couple’s dimly-lit home gym.

    Alongside the post, he wrote: “Can’t beat a little down lighting. Thanks to my lighting technician @victoriabeckham with a little help from @mrbobbyrich”. And Spice Girl was quick to re-share her husband’s sexy snap to her own Instagram Story as she wrote: “Loving David’s album cover!!”

    It comes days after Victoria shared her ‘best gift’ after enjoying a star-studded bash to mark her 50th birthday. The evening before her special day, on April 17, Victoria shared a gorgeous snap with her millions of followers in which she could be seen posing for the camera while seemingly whipping off her black blazer to show off her tiny matching bra.

    She reflected on being “blessed” to have made it to her fifth decade as she referenced her achievements within her career as well as her family life alongside her former footballer husband.

    After being flooded with birthday wishes on the day itself from husband David, her children, showbiz pals and fans, Victoria marked the milestone occasion with a birthday bash which saw the Spice Girls reunited and more celebrity appearances from the likes of Tom Cruise and Salma Hayek.

    The 1990s girl group, comprised of Geri Horner, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, Melanie Brown and Victoria, were seen dancing to their hit song Stop, which was released in 1998. Victoria’s husband, former England footballer David, posted a video to Instagram of the fivesome performing the song as he gleefully looked on.

    Victoria also posted the video to her social media and wrote: “Best night ever! Happy Birthday to me!I love you all so much!” Later on, Mel B, nicknamed Scary Spice, reposted the video to her Instagram Story and wrote: “About last night #tourdatescomingsoon.”

    But the birthday girl has since described reuniting with her four bandmates as ‘the best gift’ as she shared a string of snaps from the special evening. Victoria could be seen posing for the camera alongside Mel B, Mel C, Emma and Geri as well as Tom Cruise, Marc Anthony and best pal Eva Longoria.

    Captioning the post to her 32.9 million followers, Victoria said: “The best gift to be reunited!! Thank you to all my friends and family for celebrating with me. Kisses! xxx.”

    The Princess of Wales once let slip one of her husband William‘s bad habits – and many of us can relate.

    At the time, the royal couple were on a visit to an RAF base in Cyprus in 2018. During their time there, they opened up a new recreation facility and it was then that Kate revealed her pet peeve. As William warned the recruits “Keep the pizza off the sofas”, Kate quickly retorted: “You’re a nightmare with that.”

    It’s no secret that the parents-of-three enjoy the occasional takeaway. During an interview with BBC Radio 1 in 2017, Kate was asked if the family ever ordered takeaways – and if so, what was her favourite.

    The Princess replied: “Absolutely, and curry, definitely!” She further added: “It doesn’t usually get ordered to the palace, we tend to go and pick it up,” before jokingly adding “not ourselves!”

    Kate also revealed that, while she likes spicy dishes, William doesn’t share her love of hot curries. And William told ex-football star Peter Crouch on his podcast in 2020 that he is “not a vindaloo man put it that way” and prefers a chicken masala.

    It’s also known that the late Queen was partial to a very British takeaway – and would send her footman to pick up her £10 order. An insider previously confirmed to Fabulous: “She very occasionally treated herself to fish and chips when at Balmoral. A footman is dispatched to get it from the local town of Ballater.”

    Marc Anthony caused a storm when he sent a cool birthday greeting to his best friend Beckham

    Beckham and Anthony share something of a bromance, and the former soccer player was among the well-wishers as the singer celebrated his 55th birthday this weekend.

    Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham took to social media this weekend with heartfelt birthday messages for his close friend Marc Anthony, who turned 55 on Saturday.

    “Once a brother always a brother”

    Posting on Instagram Stories, Beckham shared a photograph of himself mid-laugh with the singer, alongside the caption: “Once a brother always a brother. Happy Birthday man, love ya”.

    Beckham also posted an image in which he and Anthony can be seen smiling and drinking wine in front of a festively-decorated fireplace. “We laugh as one,” the 48-year-old wrote.


    Beckham’s emotional tribute in Walk of Fame ceremony

    Earlier this month, Beckham made a surprise appearance at Anthony’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, delivering an emotional speech in which he spoke of the strength of his friendship with the four-time Grammy winner.

    “I first met Marc 20 years ago when I was playing for Real Madrid,” Beckham said, as Anthony wiped away tears.

    “It’s probably not a cool thing to say, but I was very star-struck when I met Marc, because on the way to every Real Madrid game, I used to listen to his music. I now dress a little bit like him, and I learned salsa for one man only – but please don’t tell my wife.

    “When we met, we immediately had a special connection. I knew that I had a friend for life. Over the years, our friendship has grown, and Marc is family.

    “He’s godfather to my son Cruz, and someone that I love to spend time with.”

  • The Real Reason Why Prince William Never Wears a Wedding Ring

    The Real Reason Why Prince William Never Wears a Wedding Ring

    The Real Reason Why Prince William Never Wears a Wedding Ring

    Listen closely, because the truth about Prince William’s decision to forgo a wedding ring is a compelling one. When he and Kate Middleton exchanged vows in that fairytale ceremony in 2011, the world witnessed the Princess of Wales receive a stunning Welsh gold ring, symbolizing their eternal commitment. Yet, the Prince of Wales has never been seen adorning a matching band on his left hand. This wasn’t an oversight or a lost trinket – it was a deliberate choice.

    A month before their nuptials, the palace made it clear: William would not be given a wedding ring. The reason? It simply didn’t align with his everyday style. In a world where royals are often bound by tradition, William’s decision to break convention was a bold statement. It showcased his confidence in staying true to himself, even on the grandest of occasions.

    So, while Kate’s ring serves as a constant reminder of their love, William’s bare finger is a testament to his unwavering authenticity. In a world of pomp and circumstance, he chose to remain grounded, prioritizing his personal preferences over societal expectations. And that, my friends, is a choice worth respecting and admiring.

    “He’s not one for jewelry,” the source explained. “He’s never worn any. He decided he didn’t want to wear one now. It’s all down to personal preference.”

    While the decision to forgo a wedding ring may seem harmless, it’s essential to approach such traditions with caution. Eloise Parker’s insights in Marie Claire shed light on Prince William’s choice, but we must be mindful that such actions can carry unintended consequences or perpetuate societal norms that may be outdated or problematic. It’s prudent to examine these practices critically and consider their broader implications before embracing or rejecting them outright. A cautious and thoughtful approach is advisable when navigating cultural traditions and personal choices.

    . “Although it’s traditional for royal women to wear both an engagement ring and a wedding ring after they get married, it’s never been traditional for royal men to wear one,” she said. “That’s why Prince Philip and Prince William don’t wear them. I think when you have a wedding watched by millions, everyone knows you’re married.”

    The choice of Prince Harry to wear a wedding ring is truly admirable, showcasing his commitment to the sacred union. The platinum band, lovingly presented by Meghan Markle during their heartfelt vow exchange, symbolizes their profound bond. Moreover, the Duchess’s own exquisite Welsh gold ring, a cherished tradition for royal brides, beautifully commemorates their marriage. The way Meghan elegantly pairs this meaningful jewel with her stunning three-stone diamond engagement ring is a touching testament to their deep love and appreciation for one another.

    Kate Middleton’s wedding band holds significant sentimental value and royal history. The Princess of Wales collaborated with her husband, Prince William, and the renowned Bristol jewelry company Wartski to design the ring. Notably, the Welsh gold used to craft the accessory was a special engagement gift from the late Queen Elizabeth II, adding a personal touch.

    Furthermore, Kate’s iconic engagement ring also carries a deep connection to the royal family. Prince William proposed with the iconic diamond and sapphire ring that once belonged to his mother, Princess Diana. During a post-engagement interview with ITV News, William shared the heartfelt sentiment behind his choice, stating, “It’s my mother’s engagement ring, so I thought it was quite nice because, obviously, she’s not going to be around to share in any of the fun and excitement of all this. This is my way of keeping her sort of close to it all.”

    Both Kate’s wedding band and engagement ring are imbued with rich royal traditions and serve as cherished reminders of the family’s enduring legacy.

  • David Beckham confronts Brooklyn about the Nicola Peltz drama. Is the father-son relationship on the verge of cracking?

    David Beckham confronts Brooklyn about the Nicola Peltz drama. Is the father-son relationship on the verge of cracking?

    “He had it out with him and told him: ‘We don’t do this in our family — and you know that we don’t do this in our family,’” the insider continued.

    They added that David allegedly told Brooklyn, “What happens next is up to you, but we are done with the drama.”

    Per the publication, David, 47, was upset over comments made by Peltz, 27, and Brooklyn in a recent interview for Grazia US’ fall 2022 cover story.

    The young couple — who tied the knot on April 9 — spoke about the media coverage of Peltz’s relationship with Victoria.

    “To be honest, my wife is obviously my first priority and I never want to see her upset ever,” Brooklyn told the outlet.


    “When people do say ridiculous things, we just talk about it and we just move on. We have each other’s back 100 percent and we just move on together.”

    Peltz also clarified her decision to walk down the aisle in Valentino instead of a design by the former Spice Girl, 48.

    “We connected to start designing the dress, and then a few days went by and I didn’t hear anything. Victoria called my mom and said her atelier couldn’t make it. So, I spoke to my mom and [my stylist] Leslie [Fremar], and I was like, ‘Well, unfortunately, this can’t happen, so what’s the next step?’” she recalled.

    “I’ve been a fan of Valentino and their couture for so long. I was really lucky to be able to travel to [the atelier] to try on the dress. That’s really what happened.”

    The Daily Mail’s source said that David was “really appalled by the Grazia interview because it seemed to be washing the family dirty linen in public.”

    The insider also alleged that Brooklyn’s younger brothers, Romeo, 20, and Cruz, 17, are “also hurt” by the pair’s comments.

    Reps for David, Brooklyn and Peltz did not immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.

    Page Six broke the news in August that Peltz and Posh Spice don’t see eye to eye.

    “They can’t stand each other and don’t talk,” a source close to the family told us. “The build-up to the wedding was horrendous.”

    The source said that Peltz — the daughter of New York billionaire Nelson Peltz — didn’t want her soon-to-be-mother-in-law “to be any part of the planning, and she wouldn’t clue Victoria in on anything. Communication was minimal.”

    In another joint interview for Vogue Hong Kong’s September 2022 cover story, the pair explained how they handle “external commentary” about their marriage amid the feud.

    “We always have each other’s back, no matter what. At the end of the day we’re best friends and we wouldn’t have it any other way,” they said.

    “We don’t think about our relationship as being in the spotlight, we just think about us as being in a relationship.”

    Brooklyn and Peltz have previously denied that there are issues between the “Transformers” actress and Victoria.

    “I’ve learned they’re always going to try to write stuff like that,” the social media chef told Variety in their “Power of Young Hollywood” issue. “They’re always going to try and put people down. But everyone gets along, which is good.”

  • Prince Harry named ‘Legend of Aviation’ after firing on the Taliban from a helicopter

    Prince Harry named ‘Legend of Aviation’ after firing on the Taliban from a helicopter

    Prince Harry has been recognised for his contribution to aviation and aerospace and will be honoured at the 21st annual Living Legends of Aviation Awards in Los Angeles

    Prince Harry is being honoured at the 21st annual Living Legends of Aviation Awards.

    The royal – who flew combat missions in Afghanistan – will be recognised for his contribution to aviation and aerospace. The glitzy awards will be held on January 19, in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and are hosted by Hollywood actor and qualified pilot John Travolta.

    Prince Harry served on two tours to Afghanistan with the Army and saw civilians decimated by roadside bombs and troops left lifeless on the battlefield. Harry’s time in Afghanistan left a huge impression on him and he later set up the Invictus Games in 2014 to support veterans.

    Dad-of-two Harry had bragged about his military skills in his book Spare, which was released last year. In the memoirs, the royal revealed he killed 25 people while on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. He was an Apache helicopter pilot at the time and, in Spare, he said he flew on six missions that resulted in “the taking of human lives”.

    Harry joined the British Army in 2005, and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2008 before he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant with The Household Cavalry and turned his focus to becoming a pilot, training to fly Apache helicopters and attending gunship training where he was praised as one of the “best young Apache pilots this country has ever seen”.

    Practising at the El Centro Naval Air Facility in California, the prince reportedly stunned instructors by finishing top of his class. A senior British Army source told The Sun at the time: “It sounds like a con, but Harry is genuinely shaping up to be one of the best young Apache pilots this country has ever seen. His US instructors have to treat him the same as everyone else, as we all do in the British Army.

    “But they have turned round and said, ‘My God, this guy is the real deal.’ There are many skills needed to be a top-drawer Apache pilot, but apparently it’s Harry’s flying that is particularly impressive. His handling, hand-eye coordination, reaction speeds – he’s a natural. Any doubters who said, ‘Harry is royal – he’s getting special treatment,’ can leave the room now. His talent is leaving his trainers open-mouthed.”

    As the talented royal continued to impress, it was announced that he would return to Afghanistan in 2012 and spent four months based at Camp Bastion in Helmand province, flying attack helicopters in the fight against the Taliban. “Our job out here is to make sure the guys are safe on the ground and if that means shooting someone who is shooting at them, then we will do it,” Harry told reporters at the time.

    Working as an Apache co-pilot, Harry reportedly showered the militants with bullets as injured troops were airlifted to a secure location. Sarah Zenetis, the mum of American soldier Christopher ‘Tripp’ Zanetis, told The Sun : “Prince Harry came in with his protection squadron and blew the enemy to pieces. They provided enough cover for Tripp to get his men loaded on the helicopter. I believe there were Taliban members killed.”

    Harry appeared to separately confirm such a mission had taken place, saying he had fired on the Taliban during operations to support ground troops and rescue injured Afghan and Nato personnel. “If there’s people trying to do bad stuff to our guys, then we’ll take them out of the game, I suppose,” he said. “Take a life to save a life … the squadron’s been out here. Everyone’s fired a certain amount.”

    Following 10 years of service, the royal’s Army career came to an end in 2015. The Duke of Sussex is now one of four new inductees in the Living Legends of Aviation alongside Fred George, a Navy pilot and writer, Marc Parent, President and CEO of Canadian Aviation Electronics, and Steve Hinton, who held a world speed record for a decade and has worked as a pilot on more than 100 movies and TV shows. Past inductees include moon heroes Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
