King Charles and Queen Camilla have been pictured alongside footballing legend David Beckham as they attended the Chelsea Flower Show.
The trio were pictured chatting and laughing together at the prestigious gardening event held in the grounds of London's Royal Hospital Chelsea.
Charles and Camilla joined the former England star at the Highgrove Shop stand which supports the work of The King's Foundation.
The King appeared to share a joke with Beckham during their meeting, with the former footballer seen laughing in response.

Monday’s coming together highlighted their collaboration on an upcoming campaign by The King's Foundation, which champions Charles's philosophy of working in harmony with nature and is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.
Beckham, who has served as an ambassador for the organisation for almost a year, joined the royal couple to tease an upcoming project aimed at encouraging young people to consider careers in horticulture.
The timing of the meeting has naturally raised eyebrows among some royal watchers, coming just days after the Princess of Wales supported Beckham’s wife Victoria at an event.

Further stoking speculation, the King and Queen’s meetup with Beckham arrives just after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly hosted Brooklyn Beckham, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, for dinner at their Montecito home.
According to reports, the dinner was a group gathering at the home of Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins and his wife Tracy, who are close friends of the Sussexes.
Brooklyn and his Nicola were noticeably absent from Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this month, fuelling rumours of a family rift.
According to reports, Prince Harry offered his "unwavering support" to Brooklyn amid the apparent family fallout.

"Harry and Meghan were very empathetic and very kind to them both. Harry was fully aware of the situation and offered Brooklyn his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar,” a source told The Sun.
Beckham has long been popular with the royal family and has been involved with numerous charity initiatives organised by King Charles and Prince William.
He received an OBE in 2003 for his services to football, and speculation about him potentially receiving a knighthood has been widespread.
Beckham, who signed up to The King's Foundation in June last year after dining with Charles at Highgrove, attended the flower show on behalf of the Harmony charity launched via the foundation with Sir Alan Titchmarsh.
