Fresh from his good news last week on his long-awaited knighthood, David Beckham is keeping in close contact with his friends in the Royal Family. The football star joined a host of tributes to Prince William as he celebrated his 43rd birthday today<\/a> (Saturday, June 21). Becks took to his Instagram stories to share two heartfelt posts to congratulate the Prince of Wales.<\/p>\n

The dad of four shared a snap of him and the royal as they laughed together at an event with a caption: \u201cHappy Birthday Prince William,\u201d adding a kiss emoji to boot. Beckham then posted another picture, this time of him shaking William\u2019s hand, with another \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d caption followed by a love heart emoji.<\/p>\n

Beckham\u2019s warm wishes for the prince were extended to wife Kate Middleton as the former Manchester United star tagged the official Prince and Princess of Wales account.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month David was finally honoured with a knighthood<\/a> for his services to sport and charity.<\/p>\n

His good news came amid the kind of family drama his friend William can relate to, after ongoing reports about a rift between David, Victoria and their eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola Peltz.<\/p>\n

Tensions were only thought to have been made worse last month when Brooklyn and Nicola, 30, were spotted socialising with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.<\/p>\n

The pair, who have just bought their first permanent home together in Los Angeles, were then reported to have met up with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at their mansion in Montecito, California.<\/p>\n

According to Mail Online, the two women engaged in a “deep and meaningful” chat and shared a bond after both being branded ‘homewreckers’ who ‘tear apart” their husbands’ families.<\/p>\n

The couple’s decision to rub shoulders with Harry<\/a> and Meghan, who are also embroiled in a high-profile feud with the Royal Family, has sparked comparisons between the two couples.<\/p>\n

David and Victoria have been ‘blindsided’ by the developing relationship, according to the Sun. As we reported previously, they were thought to have been friends with the Sussexes until a row where Meghan allegedly claimed Victoria had been leaking stories about her to the press.<\/p>\n

Meghan accused Victoria of ‘indiscretion’ – resulting in a tense phone call between Prince Harry<\/a> and David.<\/p>\n

In his book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, Tom Bower said: “Harry\u2019s instability fed Meghan\u2019s fears that friends were leaking stories to the media. In particular, she suspected Victoria Beckham of indiscretion.<\/p>\n

“Harry called David Beckham to repeat the accusation. Outraged, Beckham\u2019s truthful denials damaged their relationship.”<\/p>\n

The Beckhams have reportedly been struggling to cope with the strained relationship with their eldest son, which was further exacerbated by Brooklyn’s decision to skip his father’s 50th birthday celebrations, leaving David “devastated”.<\/p>\n
