David Beckham was dressed to impress as he attended a royal star-studded ceremony which marked The Queen and Meghan Markle teaming up for their second joint engagement in less than two weeks
Cutting a dapper figure, the footballer, 43, looked delighted as he arrived to the ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening in a slick navy suit
 After greeting the Queen, David was seen getting comfortable alongside the likes of Nicola Adams and Sir Lenny Henry  to watch the Duchess of Sussex, 36, and her other half Prince Harry, 33, present awards to winners of the Queen's Young Leaders for 2018
  David couldn't contain his glee as he shook hands with the Queen, who also looked thrilled in return
  While this isn't the first time that the athlete has met the Queen, he still proved to be overwhelmed with excitement as he stood in line for the greeting
   The Queen cut a typically elegant figure in a striking light green and pink floral number, along with white satin gloves and pearls
    Meanwhile, David refused to forego his smile as he sat alongside boxer Nicola Adams, who was clad in a blue power suit, and suited and booted Sir Lenny Henry, 59
