Sir David Beckham has a big reputation as not just a football legend but also as a loving husband and doting father to his four children, especially for his only daughter, Harper.
Fans have gotten a good look at the sweet father-daughter relationship over the years in public appearances and on social media, and the close bond that they share.
The 14-year-old is very well-loved and celebrated by her parents and siblings, and now she returned the favour with a priceless gift for her dad, with some assistance from the British monarch himself.
In a feature published in Country Life magazine – which was guest edited by David – the former athlete revealed that in the run-up to his 50th birthday, Harper kept saying that she got him “something that money can’t buy”.
He shared that there was a special scented rose made in his name, Sir David Beckham Rose, which is white like England football shirts. David Austin Roses will launch the flower at next year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
“I was so emotional when she said there was a special rose being created for me,” he said. “I’ve always loved roses. We have them around the doors. They are a patriotic symbol of England and I’ve sent so many to Victoria during the 28 years we’ve been together.”
He added, “What Harper has done for me is incredible. I have planted a circular rose garden so that I can grow my rose at our house in the Cotswolds.”
