King Charles met privately with David Beckham earlier this week while Prince Harry was in England.
The monarch met the former England star to discuss her charity, the King’s Foundation. The Independent understands.
The press was not notified and no pictures were taken at the meeting.
A spokesman for the duke previously said he would not be able to meet his father “due to Her Majesty’s full schedule”.

Harry and Meghan are in Nigeria on a whistle-stop tour to promote sports in Africa – and are expected to visit a school, meet wounded servicemen and attend basketball and polo games.

‘The Harry and Meghan Show’
A former royal security official has criticized Harry and Meghan’s “presidential-style” trip to Nigeria, describing it as a “Harry and Meghan show”.
The Sussexes have a four-man security team for the three-day trip, which comes after Harry celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
“Seeing all his presidential-style defenses really stuck in the throat,” Davies told the Mail.
‘To a couple who say it’s privacy to go to the most dangerous places in the world, I’m not saying that, it’s the Foreign Office, crazy, you have to wonder why.
‘It would have been much safer and easier if the wounded Nigerian soldiers had been airlifted London Instead of having this security and huge cost to a country where many people live on less than £1.50 a day.
“You have to ask yourself is this really about the charities or is this a Harry and Meghan show?”

Then they talked to the kids about mental health, saying, “There’s no shame.”
“No shame in admitting today was a bad day, okay?” said Harry.
“You woke up sad this morning; You’re at school and feeling stressed; “You’ve lost a loved one in your family and you don’t know who to turn to or who to talk to,” added the Duke of Sussex.
He urged students to talk about their mental health issues.
“The more you talk about it, the more you can kick the stigma, get out into the long grass, and then everyone has a chance to share how they’re feeling and how they’re coping. Help others,” Harry said.
“So if you take anything away from today, know that mental health affects every person,” he added.

Meghan and Harry talk mental health on visit to Nigeria
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan spoke to students about mental health during their recent trip to Nigeria.
Harry and Meghan visited Lightway Academy, which is run by a not-for-profit organization supported by their Archiwell Foundation.
“A lot of people don’t want to talk about it because it’s invisible. It’s something we can’t see in our minds. It’s not like a broken leg, it’s not like a broken wrist,” Duke Sussex said.
“Every single person in this room, young and old, every single person is mentally ill. So you have to take care of yourself in order to take care of others,” said Harry.
Meghan asked the students not to suffer in silence.
“Make sure you’re taking care of yourself, and that starts with your mental health by talking about what’s ahead for you,” she said.
