David Beckham stunned into silence during awkward meeting with the Queen in 2002 | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
David Beckham’s first time meeting Queen Elizabeth II back in 2002 did not go as planned as the football star was left so stunned he could not get the right words out.
He opened up about the experience during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, where he and his wife Victoria hosted a lunch event where they dined alongside honoured MBE recipients.
Looking back on his first meeting with Her Majesty, David remembered she said: “How’s Victoria, how’s the kids?”
But it soon turned awkward as he added: “I couldn’t even answer, it was an incredible moment.”
Pictures of the special day showed the sporting legend wearing a classy suit as he shook hands with the Monarch, who looked the epitome of elegance in a royal blue dress.
