David Beckham inadvertently shared a framed picture of a royal family member in his home during a Christmas-themed video. The 49-year-old former football star, like many parents worldwide, is embracing the Elf on the Shelf tradition to celebrate this festive season.
On Monday, December 9, Beckham shared a video on Instagram showing the latest mischief brought by the Elf on the Shelf in his home. “So it’s early morning. I’ve literally just walked into the office, and normally my office is actually quite tidy,” he said.
“Something’s gone on during the night,” he continued, showing several Elf on the Shelf figurines scattered across the floor and the TV stand.
“I mean, really, mess on the floor. It’s definitely Christmas in the office,” Beckham concluded with a grin.

Beckham’s long-standing relationship with the monarchy
In 2003, Beckham received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) from the late Queen in recognition of his contributions to football.
Over the years, there have been calls for Beckham to be awarded a knighthood, although he has yet to receive the honor. His wife, Victoria Beckham, has also been recognized by the royals, receiving her own OBE in 2017 for her achievements in fashion and charity. Prince William personally presented her with the medal.
