Prince Harry and King Charles first met the famous girl band together in 1997

Royal Biographer Angela Levin has revealed the occasion that Prince Harry called the "best day of his life", after meeting one of the world's most famous bands in 1997.

This comes as King Charles has reignited his friendship with David Beckham after the former footballer was announced as the new ambassador for the King's charity The King's Foundation.


The pair posed for photographs together as Beckham tried his hand at woodworking and embroidery - the specialist workshops on offer as part of the charity at Highgrove.

Speaking to GB News, biographer Levin said the Royal Family used to have close relations with Beckham's wife, Victoria Beckham in the 90s, when the Spice Girls were at the peak of their success.

Recalling one of their famous photo calls with the band, Levin revealed: "Let me tell you one thing about Victoria, Prince Harry met her just after his mother died.

"His father had to go to South Africa, and they were with the Spice Girls."

Discussing the meeting, Levin told GB News that the Duke of Sussex made an effort with Victoria Beckham in particular for the photo call.

She explained: "He met her, and there's pictures of him holding her hand. He said to me when I was interviewing him that it was the best day of his life.

"And so they invited them to Highgrove. He said to me, 'that was the second best day of my life'."

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

Levin said Victoria Beckham and her husband, David Beckham now have sour relations with the Duke of Sussex.

She explained: "David Beckham was going to go to the Invictus Games. He was asked by Harry if he would go, and he did. But Harry wouldn't talk to him at all.

"He flew all the way to Sydney, but nothing happened. But then the Beckhams were accused of leaking material, saying nasty things about the Sussexes, and they got very upset. And that's what made him absolutely furious."

She continued: "They were invited to the wedding, but not to the dinner. And as there were not very many friends there, he thought that was a terrible slight. So that's why they backed off and stopped being friendly with them."

When asked about the "reinvention" of David Beckham and his reignited relationship with King Charles, Levin claimed the star has "turned his attention" to the monarch.

Detailing their friendship, Levin told Eamonn and Isabel: "King Charles loves him, they've got lots in common now. They both love having bees and making their own honey.

"And David's moved very close to Highgrove, where the King lives, so it's very easy to talk about. But also he's been looking for somebody who would be help running his charity, the King's Charity. And he's a working man who actually has come up from the bottom and actually done it all himself.

"Beckham would be marvellous at helping these people, doing all that."
