Prince William is to invite the Beckhams to his wedding to Kate Middleton, the Sunday Mirror can reveal.
Wills struck up a close bond with David Beckham when they teamed up to lead England’s bid to host football’s 2018 World Cup.
The former England skipper and his wife Victoria were among the first to congratulate the royal couple on their engagement last week.
“David texted Wills as soon as he heard, and Wills told him an invite was on its way. David and Victoria were both thrilled and can’t wait,” a Royal source said.
David, 35, and style icon Victoria, 36, will join a select number of A-list celebrities, including Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney, for the ceremony at Westminster Abbey on April 29 next year.
President Obama and wife Michelle are also on the guest list, which is expected to be announced at the end of February, when Wills and Kate have received RSVPs.
“They’re thinking carefully about which charities to invite, but they have pretty much decided on the friends they want there. Because they do mix with celebs, there will be quite a few there. It’s the hottest ticket in town. There won’t be many saying ‘sorry, we’re busy that day’.
“The Beckhams sent a card and some flowers, and Victoria is already thinking about dresses.”
Becks meets William – who is President of the Football Association – in Zurich this week to lobby for England’s World Cup campaign.
He will travel without his fiancée Kate in his official FA role, and is seen as a huge asset to the national bid.
The friendship between the princes and the Beckhams dates back to 1998, when Prince Charles invited Victoria and the Spice Girls to his Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire for tea as a treat for 13-year-old Prince Harry.
This week Sir Elton said he would “probably” sing at the wedding, reprising his famous performance at Princess Diana’s funeral in 1997.
