    Now, the 20-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham has been pictured with his model girlfriend as she flashed a huge diamond ring.

    The outing to Soho House White City saw Mia attempt to hide her ring from photographers.

    A source close to the Beckhams said it’s not true and Romeo isn’t engaged when approached by The Sun.

    Mia and Romeo looked casual as they strolled along, with blonde model Mia opting for a green Adidas hoodie and jeans.

    She threw a blue bag over the outfit and could be seen donning a white cap.

    Meanwhile, the son of footballer David Beckham opted for a white hoodie and black trousers and held on to his phone as his walked beside his girlfriend.

    Romeo and Mia were joined by a group of friends, and earlier in the evening they’d attended a gig in Shepherd’s Bush where Peter Andre’s son Junior performed.

    Romeo and Mia have previously been dubbed the new ‘Posh and Becks’ – nicknames given to his famous parents.

    Mia has even posted a photo of herself lying on the beach in a bikini with the word ‘POSH’ written on her bum cheeks to promote her future mother-in-law’s make-up range, which is named after ­Victoria’s Spice Girls alter ego.

    Victoria clearly appreciated Mia’s efforts, commenting with a string of crying-with-laughter emojis underneath the photo.

    Mia, from Chippenham, Wilts, signed for top modelling agency Storm Models when she was 12.

    In true Gen-Z fashion, Romeo and Mia broke the news they were a couple by becoming Instagram official in 2019.

    The young couple split in July last year — with the distance and their hectic work schedules said to be to blame — but confirmed they were back together in November when Romeo shared a photo of Mia on his Instagram to celebrate her birthday.

    The stylish pair often post sweet pictures of themselves hanging out at the Beckhams’ Cotswolds home or larking about in the Lake District on a recent glamping trip and have racked up an army of fans on social media.

    Romeo has even shown his commitment, in true Beckham style, by getting an “I love you” tattoo after rekindling his romance with Mia.

    The Beckham boys are known for marrying young — both David and Brooklyn were just 23 — so wedding bells could be on the cards.

    Move over Posh and Becks — the next generation is ready to take your crown.

    The fashion designer then accused her football legend hubby of copying her retro style.

    She posted a snap on Instagram and said: “I got dressed first, FYI.”

    The pair were famed for wearing matching outfits in their early years together.

    Victoria said previously: “It just seemed like a really good idea at the time.

    “We didn’t know about fashion.

    “We were just having fun with it, which to be honest with you, is kind of the way it should be.

    “I really wish I had the courage to do it more now.”

    Victoria recently celebrated her 49th birthday and broke her strict diet to indulge in a slice of cake.

    Posh Spice pushed the boat out at the family party in Miami, Florida — and even bought an £800-plus bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 12 Year Old Special Reserve whiskey for them all to sample.

    She was joined by David, along with three of their children, Brooklyn, 24, Cruz, 18, and Harper, 11.

    Romeo, 20, who plays for Brentford FC was in the UK with his club.

    Also in attendance was Victoria’s daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz, 28, as the pair continue their attempts to put a widely reported falling-out behind them.

    BROOKLYN Beckham’s wife Nicola Peltz showed off her incredible legs as she put the ‘feud’ with his mum Victoria behind her.

    Nicola opted for a black one-shoulder top and mini skirt.

    She accessorised with a handbag and a pair of chunky boots.

    Meanwhile Brooklyn, who she tied the knot with last year, rocked a similar outfit.

    The chef wore a black jumper, matching trousers and white trainers.

    He completed the look with a snap back.

    Last month The Sun exclusively revealed how Nicola and Brooklyn held an Easter peace summit at her family’s £76million Palm Beach mansion in a bid to end rift rumours between the bride and her in-laws.

    It was reported that The Beckham family were to be hosted by Nicola’s billionaire businessman dad Nelson Peltz and mum Claudia for a special dinner at the Florida beach side estate.

    An insider said at the time: “The couple have spent the last few days in Tokyo but wanted to gather both families in Palm Beach for a low-key Easter Sunday dinner to commemorate their first year as a married couple.”

    Days later they were all pictured together at a cheery Easter family reunion to celebrate the couple’s first wedding anniversary.

    They certainly squashed rumours of a rift for good as they gathered over the weekend and posed for a photo together to mark the special occasion.

    Since Nicola and Brooklyn’s lavish wedding in 2022, there has been whispers of a ‘feud’ between her and Victoria.

    In October last year Nicola spoke out about it for the first time in an interview with the Sunday Times.

    The billionaire heiress told the publication: “It’s not a feud! I keep seeing everywhere that word, ‘feud, feud, feud’!”

  • David Beckham was unhappy with the way his face and hair looked in his four-part Netflix documentary

    David Beckham was unhappy with the way his face and hair looked in his four-part Netflix documentary

    His devoted wife Victoria has been known to make teasing comments about footballer David Beckham‘s vanity.

    But the former footballer, 48, wasn’t entirely thrilled with the way he looked on the recent four-part Netflix documentary about him.

    Sources say there was some unhappiness about his hair, which was shorn before Beckham premiered, and that he was even a little dissatisfied with his handsome face.

    One viewer Tweeted: ‘My takeaway from watching…is that David Beckham’s Botox game is in the premier league. And his hair and beard colorist deserves a medal.’

    Another wrote: ‘He’s had work done, I suspect. Especially around his eyes. And his hair, beard and eyebrows have all been dyed too dark. He’s naturally fair and should have gone lighter, not darker.’

    David was recently quizzed by fans over this thinning locks when he shared a post from his Cotswolds home on Instagram.

    However the Inter Miami FC owner was sporting a much fuller barnet as he attended the Men’s Cricket World Cup semi-final match in Mumbai in November.

    Clearly pleased with his new look, David flashed a beaming smile while walking on the pitch ahead of the match between India and New Zealand.

    David was later seen taking selfies with two female spectators before taking a seat beside Bollywood actress Kiara Advani.

    The former pro footballer has been in the country on a trip with UNICEF, an agency of the United Nations responsible for providing humanitarian aid to children globally.

    David’s new look comes days after he shared a snap with an adorable a baby goat, but it was his thinning locks stealing the show.

    He displayed a wholly thinner look to his most recent Instagram selfie, in which he posed alongside fellow football ace Thierry Henry two days before.

    It is unclear whether the image was a throwback or if the star – known for his passion for changing hairdos – had once again reached for the clippers.

    The former England captain shared the Instagram post alongside a cheeky caption referencing Lionel Messi, his signing at his team Inter Miami.

    Referencing the term GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) – used to describe sportspeople at the top of their game – he penned: ‘Found a little friend in the country. And no Harper Seven sorry we can’t keep it. we have enough G.O.A.Ts right now @intermiamicf’.

    Fans in the comments section questioned David over his more sparse look, with one writing: ‘What happened to your barnet?’

    Another said: ‘Shave it like Beckham.’

    A third person wrote: ‘Wow Beckham looks different.’

    A different person, wrote: ‘Where’s becks hair?’

    One other speculated: ‘That’s a hair transplant in early stages!’

    David is known for being a style chameleon when it comes to his hair.

    Since the now retired footballer made his debut at Manchester United in 1993, the nation has seen him rock a whole range of different hairdo’s.

    And David’s four-part documentary which charters his thirty year career showcases all of his interesting looks.

    Earlier this year, the fashion icon revealed the only hairstyle he regrets is his cornrows which he wore ahead of a meeting with Nelson Mandela in 2003.

    In the documentary, David insists he didn’t get his 2000 buzzcut for the attention and initially refused to take his cap off when Sir Alex Ferguson asked him to.

    He said: ‘I never did it to create attention. I’m not that person.’ Sir Alex said: When David shaved his head, I honestly thought a member of my family had died. Because my phone went off. The panic in people’s voices’.

    David Beckham sweetly cuddles his daughter Harper, 12, as he puts on a brave face after Inter Miami draw with St. Louis

    David Beckham shared a sweet moment with his daughter Harper on Saturday, as he brought her along to see Inter Miami play St. Louis in Fort Lauderdale.

    The club co-owner, 49, was clearly hoping his youngest child, 12, would be his good luck charm in the MLS league match.

    But his team only managed to get a draw in the game, despite footballing legend Lionel Messi making MLS history, by becoming the fastest player to reach 25 goal contributions in a season.

    David looked in high spirits for most of the match, cutting a dashing figure in a navy blue suit and matching T-shirt underneath.

    Ever the proud father, he warmly embraced Harper while watching his players, with the duo seen sharing a laugh.

    The youngest Beckham took several style cues from her fashion designer mother, Victoria, wearing a pink T-shirt and jeans, with a tiny woven yellow handbag.

    She cuddled up to her famous dad as he beamed widely and hooked his arms around her waist.

    While his youngest son Cruz, 19, was also in attendance to support his father’s team, sporting an Inter Miami jersey.

    Harper is a longtime football fan and often accompanies David to Inter Miami matches, while also being a huge supporter of the Lionesses.

    The former footballer later took to his Instagram to share a selfie with his daughter posing in front of the pitch.

    Captioning the adorable shot, he admitted that while his team had been hoping for a better result, he was happy to have Harper with him.

    David wrote: ‘Didn’t get the 3 points we wanted but I have this little one by my side #HarperSeven’.

    Inter Miami and St. Louis drew at 3-3, despite Messi’s record-breaking goal with a wonderful sidefoot from just inside the box, supplied by his good friend (and former Barca teammate) Jordi Alba.

    It has taken Messi just 12 games this season to reach 12 goals and 13 assists by MLS’ counting, smashing the previous mark set by Carlos Vela in his 2019 MVP campaign.

    Even with the draw, Miami (10-3-5, 35 points) took a two-point lead atop the Eastern Conference standings and in MLS overall, ahead of second-place Cincinnati (10-3-3, 33 points), which did not play Saturday.

    But next week will see Messi joining Argentina to defend the Copa America title it won in 2021, when the eight-time Ballon d´Or winner tearfully lifted his first major trophy for his national team.

    But despite not getting the best result for his team, David still had plenty to celebrate at the weekend as Real Madrid won the Champion’s League.

    He took to his Instagram to display his incredibly chiselled six-pack as he posed shirtless in the sun, with his arms outstretched and eyes closed.

    Captioning the joyful photo, David praised Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham for his incredible debut performance and victory, writing: ‘HEY JUDE !! What a first season CHAMPIONS’.

    Jude, 20, commented on the post with a series of heart emojis, after enjoying the ‘best night’ of his life.

    He set up Vinicius Junior for Madrid’s second goal in their 2-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund and lifted the famous trophy for the very first time.

  • David Beckham accepts invite for dinner with King Charles to discuss being a charity ambassador for The Prince’s Foundation – after distancing himself from Harry and Meghan

    David Beckham accepts invite for dinner with King Charles to discuss being a charity ambassador for The Prince’s Foundation – after distancing himself from Harry and Meghan

    David Beckham has accepted an invitation from the King to attend a dinner after severing ties with Prince Harry.

    The former England star is dining with Charles to talk about the possibility of him becoming an ambassador for The Prince’s Foundation, a charity founded by the King in order to help provide skills to young people.

    Mr Beckham has previously held a similar role representing Invictus Games, the multi-sport competition for sick and injured servicemen and women founded by Prince Harry in 2014.

    But the ex-footballer has since distanced himself from the Duke of Sussex after he and wife Meghan relocated to the US and stepped back as senior royals in 2020.

    Sources close to Mr Beckham say that he is hoping for a honour such as a knighthood, the Sun reported.

    He was awarded an OBE back in June 2003 for services to football.

    More recently in 2017, his wife Victoria received the same honour for her contribution to fashion.

    The 48-year-old’s chances of being knighted were previously blighted after he was one of 1,000 people caught up in the scandal involving Ingenious films, including former teammate Wayne Rooney, who all lost their case to overturn a £700million bill of avoided tax in 2017.

    It’s possible that Mr Beckham will meet King Charles at the Foundation’s base, Dumfries House, in east Ayrshire, Scotland.

    A source suggested that the meeting would be an opportunity for the King to ‘suss out’ Mr Beckham and find out in what areas they could work together.

    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?

    The bromance between footballer and monarch will have piqued Prince Andrew. 

    The Yorks and the Beckhams were once the closest of pals, so much so Andrew even arranged to host Harper Beckham‘s princess-themed sixth birthday party at Buckingham Palace

    Relations between the families are now quite frosty. 

    But if Beckham wants an exclusive venue for his 50th birthday party next May, his new bestie the King might oblige.

    ‘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****.’

    It has been puzzling and disappointing.’ One notable ally of the memorial includes the readers of the Daily Mail – who are thanked in the stonework.

    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.

    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?’

  • Princess Lilibet’s £5k gift from Meghan Markle that mirrors Princess Diana

    Princess Lilibet’s £5k gift from Meghan Markle that mirrors Princess Diana

    Meghan Markle revealed she had bought herself a luxury gift that she one day planned to give to her daughter IN an interview back in 2015, a year before she met Prince Harry and six years before welcoming daughter Princess Lilibet

    It’s a very special day for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle today – their daughter Princess Lilibet turns three years old.

    The toddler, who was born in California in June 2021 and named after her late great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II will no doubt be treated to some very thoughtful gifts from her parents and big brother Prince Archie. But when she gets older, she stands to be given an incredible present by mum Meghan, which she bought for her years before she was born – and even before she met husband Harry.

    Many years ago, after the Duchess of Sussex landed the role of Rachel Zane on the hit legal drama Suits, she decided to treat herself. After the series got the go-ahead for a third season, Meghan splashed out on a fancy £5,000 Cartier Tank Francaise watch – and had a powerful message engraved on the back to remind her of her achievements.

    During an interview with Hello! magazine back in 2015 she explained why the watch means so much to her. She said: “I’ve always coveted the Cartier French Tank watch. When I found out Suits had been picked up for our third season – which, at the time, felt like such a milestone – I totally splurged and bought the two-tone version.” She had the back engraved with the message ‘To M.M. From M.M’. She went on: “I plan to give it to my daughter one day. That’s what makes pieces special, the connection you have to them.”

    When Lilibet receives the timepiece, it means she will have an almost identical watch to her late grandmother Princess Diana, who also sported a Cartier Tank Française watch wearing it regularly on engagements in the 1990s.

    The watch was gifted to the late princess by her father on her 21st birthday, and it is believed it was passed to Harry, with Meghan sometimes wearing it. Other pieces that once belonged to Diana that Meghan has worn include a stunning Emerald cut aquamarine ring, surrounded by small solitaire diamonds and set in 24-carat yellow gold, on her right hand at her evening reception.

    Diana had been previously pictured wearing the item, which was created by Asprey in 1997, the same year she died following a Paris car crash. Meanwhile, Meghan has also sported Diana’s Cartier tennis bracelet several times, which is thought to be worth £17,000.

    Lilibet was born on June 4, 2021 at the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California. A statement said at the time: “”Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet. Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honour her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.”

    She was christened at Harry and Meghan’s home in March 2023 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor. Among those at the intimate gathering were said to be Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland, Lilibet’s godfather Tyler Perry and an unnamed godmother – although none of her royal relatives were at the service.

    Victoria Beckham reveals she still has son Brooklyn’s milk teeth after two decades because she’s ‘sentimental’

    Victoria Beckham has kept son Brooklyn’s milk teeth for more than two decades.

    The Spice Girl and fashion designer, 50, took to Instagram on Sunday to share a snap of the 25-year-old’s baby teeth as she joked about her ‘sentimental’ nature.

    She shares Brooklyn – as well as Harper, 12, Cruz, 19 and  Romeo, 21 – with her husband David, 49.

    Posting the snap to Instagram Stories, the WAG penned: ‘Not that I’m sentimental but… U think I can throw your baby teeth away @brooklynpeltzbeckham?? (sic)’.

    Brooklyn is still yet to give his mother a public answer as to whether she can throw away some of his first teeth.

    Victoria has proven time and time again that she is every inch the doting mother as continuously keeps her fans updated about their family life.

    Her post came just days after the fashionista also revealed close family details about her daughter Harper.

    Harper created her mother a PowerPoint presentation to try and convince her to let her have a perm.

    In an interview with Grazia, she shared how Harper is wanting to start and try some beauty treatments.

    She told how she created the presentation on the computer and showed it to her and David in the hopes of letting her take a trip to the hairdressers.

    Harper has long straight blonde hair and a perm uses chemicals to make naturally straight hair curly.

    However, despite Harper going to the effort of making the PowerPoint – Victoria admitted that her response to the request was ‘absolutely not’.

    Victoria explained her negative response was born from a bad personal experience of having a perm when she was a teenager.

    Victoria Beckham celebrates as she walks without boot and crutches

    Back in 2022 Victoria shared a snap of her perm as she revealed what she considered to be her ‘teenage dirtbag moments’ as she hopped onto a TikTok trend.

    She shared a reel of some of her more unexpected throwback fashion moments, with the Wheatus song, Teenage Dirtbag, played over the top.

    The trend saw TikTokers showing off their awkward and embarrassing teenage years and among the pictures Victoria shared were her wearing a silver latex boob tube as well as showing off a giant pout with overlined lips.

    She was also sporting an oversized shiny bomber jacket, which were all the rage in the 90s, as well as a giant perm, a sharp contrast to her sleek brunette hairdo.

    In the Grazia interview Victoria also revealed that Harper had asked her whether netball was ‘strictly necessary’ when it would probably ‘ruin her nails’.

    Elsewhere in the chat she spoke about her changing relationship with her appearance and says she is now less harsh on herself about what she eats and drinks.

    She said: ‘You just become more accepting, don’t you? This is how I look. I’m going to make the best of it, work hard at it.

    ‘I’m very disciplined with the way that I eat, the way that I work out and the way I work. That’s just who I am.

    ‘But I do like to have a drink and I’m not going to be one these, ‘Ah, there are too many calories in a glass of wine’ types. Whatever. Life’s too short. Let’s have a nice time.’

    Harper Beckham visits her mother Victoria’s store in London

    It comes after earlier this month Harper had fun at her mother’s flagship store in Dover Street.

    Victoria, who turned 50 in April, shared a video to her Instagram Story of Harper posing around the shop and modelling its items.

    At the beginning of the Story, Harper could be heard saying: ‘Come with me to visit Victoria Beckham’s shop on Dover Street.’

    Victoria set the fun clip to The Lovin’ Spoonful’s Do You Believe In Magic? and wrote over the top: ‘#HarperSeven takes over 36 Dover Street!! Kisses @davidbeckham xx’.

    Harper wore a grey hoodie, darker grey jeans, and a pair of white, grey, and black Nike trainers.

  • Prince Harry made ‘cut-off’ gesture after Meghan Markle’s ‘mocking’ went ‘too far’

    Prince Harry made ‘cut-off’ gesture after Meghan Markle’s ‘mocking’ went ‘too far’

    Meghan Markle appeared to mock her first curtsy to the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Harry did not seem impressed, says body language expert.

    Prince Harry made a “cut-off” gesture after Meghan Markle appeared to “mock” her first curtsy to the late Queen Elizabeth, a body language expert has claimed, a move which was branded a “step too far”.

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a series of revelations about their life within the Royal Family in the Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan.

    In the bombshell show, the couple opened up about Meghan’s first meeting with the late monarch.

    The meeting took place when Harry and Meghan were in Windsor to have lunch at the Royal Lodge with Princess Eugenie.

    Harry said: “How do you explain that to people? How do you explain that you bow to your grandmother? And that you will need to curtsy. Especially to an American. That’s weird.”

    Meghan added: “Now I’m starting to realise ‘This is a big deal’. I mean, Americans will understand this… We have medieval times, dinner and tournament. It was like that.”

    It was then that the duchess re-enacted the moment she met the late Queen and performed a long and exaggerated curtsy before saying while giggling: “Pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty”, while the camera showed Harry.

    No body language expert Judi James said the scene showed Harry’s “discomfort” as he performed one “cut off” gesture.

    She told The Mirror: “Her [Meghan’s] joke is self-effacing as she speaks about her curtsy when she first met the late Queen. Her smile becomes asymmetric, pulling up on one side to register a shared joke.”

    But she added: “Harry, however, is already watching her carefully, turning to gaze at the side of her face with his own facial expression looking less turned to ‘fun’ than hers.

    Meghan demonstrated the curtsey she performed while meeting the Queen for the first time

    “Meghan does an extravagant mock-curtsey that does, as she says, look Medieval. It takes her eight seconds to perform, making it a long joke but there is no change in Harry’s more serious facial expression until the end, when he lets out a small, mirthless laugh.

    “As Meghan mentions ‘Your Majesty’, the direct reference to the late Queen, it does seem a small step too far for Harry who quickly drops his head down to perform a cut-off ritual that partially hides his face, suggesting some discomfort at this point.”
