Former footballer David Beckham's new project sees him launch a line of Aftershave Watch Sets. - Singer Rod Stewart anticipates being knighted soon.
On June 11th, at the King's Foundation awards ceremony in London, the venue was filled with a pleasant ambiance. King Charles III (75) engaged in conversations and laughter with his guests, some of whom were notable individuals. Rod Stewart (79) and his wife greeted Charles with affectionate kisses on the cheek, and they chatted about the upcoming European Championship. Actress Sienna Miller (42) and model Naomi Campbell (54) were also among the attendees at St. James' Palace.
"Consider Yourself a Knight in Waiting"
King Charles and Rockstar Stewart shared lighthearted moments, with Stewart jokingly predicting that David Beckham (49) might soon be bestowed with a similar honor. Stewart was knighted by Prince William (41) in 2016, making him "Sir" Rod Stewart. In front of the cameras of "Daily Mail," Stewart made a brief speech, sharing his and his wife Penny Lancaster's (53) appreciation for being ambassadors of the King's Foundation. He added, "David, your turn will come soon."
Beckham is not the only sports star to have received this accolade. Football legends such as Bobby Charlton (1937-2023) and Alex Ferguson (82) have also earned this distinction. Having already received the British Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2003 for his contributions to football, there has been talk in the British media about Beckham potentially following a similar path towards knighthood.
Honoring Nine Individuals
The King's Foundation Awards were established to recognize students, teachers, alumni, and partners of the foundation. Nine awards were distributed during the event. The foundation prioritizes offering educational resources and leading renovation projects across the UK, maintaining a tradition of harmony with nature in line with the royal house's long-standing values.
