All proceeds from the stand go towards the King’s foundation.

David’s appearance comes after the Sussexes, Prince Harry and Meghan, reportedly held 'Beckxit' talks with Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly “secretly supporting” David Beckham's son, Brooklyn, and his wife Nicola Peltz - following their high-profile feud with their parents.

Meghan and Nicola are understood to have engaged in a “deep and meaningful” discussion after both being harshly slated for being “homewreckers” or women who “tear apart their husbands' families”.
