King Charles reportedly exploded with rage when David and Victoria Beckham hosted Harper’s sixth birthday party at Buckingham Palace — not the whole palace, just Prince Andrew’s private apartment — but the real firestorm erupted when David posted Instagram pics showing Harper and friends, including Princess Eugenie. Critics, including former Queen’s press secretary Dickie Arbiter, slammed the Beckhams for turning the royal estate into a theme park, especially amid the fresh trauma of Grenfell Tower. The book “Brand Beckham” reveals Sarah Ferguson helped forge the Beckham-Andrew bond through mutual friends like Elton John, but posting photos in a restricted palace zone was seen as a “serious breach of protocol,” deepening Charles’s feud with Andrew. David later clarified it was a tea party with Harper’s school friends and family, not a public spectacle. Fast forward to November 2025: David was knighted by King Charles himself at Windsor Castle for his charity and sports work — he went with Victoria and his parents, looking proud, while Victoria called him her “knight in shining armor.”
