But just like any mother, her children have joked about her ‘most annoying’ habit, which they revealed in a documentary to celebrate her 70th birthday in 2020. Queen Elizabeth II’s only daughter has represented many important causes over the years, whether that be Save The Children, helping those with disabilities or supporting carers. She also raised her two children, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, to understand that they would have to work in the future regardless of who their grandmother was. Peter and Zara previously paid tribute to their mother in an interview to mark her 70th birthday in 2020. The interview saw them joke about being too afraid to ask her to slow down, as well as reveal the one trait she has that they find “annoying”. anne The pair joked about their mother’s “most annoying” habit -Credit:Getty Sitting next to one another, Zara – who celebrates her 43rd birthday on Wednesday 15 May – said: “She’s like a sponge, it’s unbelievable, the information that’s stored in her brain. It’s incredible. Quite annoying, as well.” Peter then replied: “It is quite annoying, yes.” The pair then spoke of their own children and how they enjoy dropping them off with their mother. anne Princess Anne is also a doting grandmother to Savannah, Isla, Mia, Lena and Lucas -Credit:Getty Images Peter has two daughters, Savannah and Isla, with his ex-wife Autumn Phillips and Zara has three children, Mia, Lena and Lucas with husband Mike Tindall. “She loves seeing them ride, she loves having them around for Sunday lunches, doing all the sorts of stuff we used to do as kids. She now takes them to do this sort of things,” Peter said. “We quite like leaving them on Sundays. We’ll say ‘We’ll pick them up later, bye’,” Zara joked. Princess Anne’s daughter has spoken before about her thoughts on not having an official title like her other cousins. She said: “I’m very lucky that both my parents decided to not use the title and we grew up and did all the things that gave us the opportunity to do.” zara Zara has praised her mother’s decision -Credit:2022 Sebastian Frej/MB Media Other famous faces to feature in the documentary included Lord Sebastian Coe who praised The Princess Royal’s instrumental effort in securing London’s bid to host the 2012 Olympics. He said: “The Princess Royal was on the big committee and her contribution was seismic and it was always to the point, she doesn’t always suffer fools gladly and she doesn’t speak for the sake of speaking. “I do remember after a rather long-winded interjection by one of the committee members she had actually forgotten to turn her microphone off and she did manage to utter the immortal words ‘I think this person is probably the most stupid person in world sport’. “This echoed absolutely around the room and she never flinched, it was as though it had never happened and we just moved on but it is probably one of my favourite moments.”

David Beckham should be a movie star, Tom Cruise led David Beckham into acting.

along with F45 founders Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch. Beckham’s company, DB Ventures Ltd, claims that Wahlberg “duped” him into collaborating with F45,

with the former Real Madrid superstar reportedly losing $10.5 million as his shares were held back until share prices fell.

However, Wahlberg and his team have refuted these allegations, with the ensuing controversy making headlines on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite the pair having been close previously, even being neighbours, it seems there has been some tension between them since the early days of Beckham’s move to America.

His adversary, known for his role in “Ted”, made remarks about the former LA Galaxy midfielder as far back as 2009 – just two years into his stint in the MLS in the US. Commenting on the effect of the star’s arrival on his local area, Wahlberg told the Daily Mail: “Man, the Beckhams. It used to be so quiet on my road.”

“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.”, reports the Mirror US.

On top of his clear dismay surrounding the media circus that had accompanied Beckham’s presence in California, he also had some choice words to say about his sport of choice. Predicting that his designs on improving the popularity of soccer in the US would prove fruitless, he continued: “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.”

Fast forward some 15 years, however, and it appears that Beckham has very much defied his naysayers in this regard, with his own career in MLS having provided a launchpad for his co-ownership of Inter Miami. Establishing the club back in 2018, the franchise was eventually able to pull off arguably the most significant transfer in American soccer history in 2023.

Finally, with World Cup winner and eight-time Ballon d’Or recipient Messi making his way to Florida, the sport has seen a surge in popularity stateside in recent months. With record attendances at stadiums that followed his rockstar-like reception across the US, the legendary winger’s move to Miami has been welcomed by large sections of the American populace.

In this regard, Beckham’s aspiration of changing the perception of soccer in the country ultimately came true as “Messi Mania” seized the nation following his switch from PSG. Considering the fact that the World Cup is set to be hosted by the US in 2026, the arrival of the Argentinian superstar may well be considered the turning point in America finally embracing soccer.

This clearly reinforces Messi’s influence is undeniable, and the Argentine legend has assisted Beckham in defying Wahlberg’s dismissive statements about his sport.
