It&#8217;s been fun to be a part of creating the Curious Garden and I&#8217;m excited for people to see it at RHS Chelsea Flower Show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The garden features several personal touches from both Charles and Beckham &#8211; such as a prominent beehive that is inspired by the duo&#8217;s shared love of beekeeping as well as seven raised beds to honour the shirt number that the former Manchester United player wore during his football career.<\/p>\n<p>\nA press release said: &#8220;The group are united by a love for gardening and the outdoors, and the hope that a new generation of young people will consider careers in horticulture in their future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBeckham has a close bond with the King and explained how the monarch was the inspiration behind the grey suit he wore &#8211; designed by his wife Victoria Beckham &#8211; to receive his knighthood at Windsor Castle last November.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe former Real Madrid player said:  &#8220;He was quite impressed with my suit. He&#8217;s kind of the most elegantly dressed man that I know, so he inspired quite a few of my looks over the years and he definitely inspired this look.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It was something my wife made me. I looked at old pictures of him when he was quite young in morning suits and I was like, &#8216;OK, that&#8217;s what I want to wear&#8217;, so I gave it to my wife and she did it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/royal_family\/king-charles-sir-david-beckham-team-design-chelsea-flower-show-garden-1440232.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 April 2026 King Charles and Sir David Beckham have joined forces to put the finishing touches to plans for a garden at the upcoming RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
