Taking tips on becoming a Sir? Becks sits next to national treasure David Attenborough in the royal box as he takes his mum to Wimbledon
It was revealed last month that David Beckham is one step closer to becoming a 'Sir' after charming King Charles with his charity work.
And David Beckham seemed to be taking no time asking for tips on how to hold the title as he was spotted hobnobbing with David Attenborough at Wimbledon on Monday.
The former footballer, 49, had taken his mother Sandra along to the star-studded event, with the pair landing seats in the prestigious Royal Box on Centre Court for the first round match between Spain's Carlos Alcaraz and Estonia's Mark Lajal.
They were joined by plenty of VIPs on the outing, including the likes of Jamie Cullum, Katherine Jenkins and Alexander Armstrong.
Yet Beckham spent his time catching up with national treasure Attenborough, with the pair seen chatting away before taking to their seats.

Beckham's outing comes just weeks after he won official recognition from the King by becoming an ambassador for his charity.
As his appointment was announced, the former England captain said he was 'excited' to have been chosen for the prestigious role at the King's Foundation, following a meeting with the King at his beloved Highgrove Estate.
He is the first ambassador to be named by the charity since Charles was crowned, and the move is certain to increase speculation that Beckham's long-held dream of a knighthood could finally become reality.
Speaking about his new role, Beckham said: 'I'm excited to be working with the King's Foundation and to have the opportunity to help raise awareness of the charity's work.
'I've always been keen to help young people to expand their horizons and I'm particularly looking forward to supporting the foundation's education programmes and its efforts to ensure young people have greater access to nature.'
The foundation, established in 1986 when Charles was Prince of Wales, is run from Dumfries House in Scotland. It aims to support 'sustainable communities' and spearheads education courses for young people, often with a focus on rural skills.
As ambassador, Beckham will promote awareness of the charity by supporting campaigns and attending events, including the upcoming King's Foundation Awards.
Yet Beckham was more focused on his other passion: sport, as he attended day one of Wimbledon.
He was seen for the first time wearing a luxury Hugo Boss suit after signing a mega deal to be its global ambassador.
Beckham arrived at the tennis contest dressed in a bespoke Boss beige, full canvas, single-breasted suit which he matched with a blue, cotton shirt.
He accessorised his outfit with a pair of sunglasses from his own DB Eyewear range.

He and Sandra have been invited to sit in the Royal Box where he will watch British star Emma Radacanu play her first game in two years at the tournament when she takes on Russian wildcard Ekaterina Alexandrova.
Later he will watch Spanish superstar Carlos Alcaraz take on qualifier Mark Lajal, the World 262.
A friend of Beckham's told MailOnline: 'David and his mum look forward to their days out at Wimbledon, they try to go every year.
'It’s such a treat for the first day to see Emma Radacanu who David is a huge fan of, as well as Alcaraz.
'David is so close to Sandra, they have the most special relationship and he always gets excited about this day but this year it is the first of many celebrations of the week.
'David and Victoria have got some really touching things lined up for this week, it is going to be one of the most amazing of their lives.'
On Thursday, Beckham and his wife Victoria will mark their 25th anniversary with a series of celebrations - some with their four children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper - while others will be alone.
They wed on July 4 1999 in a star-studded ceremony at 15th-century Luttrellstown Castle near Dublin.
Posh and Becks, as they became known, sat on matching thrones and wore purple outfits at their nuptials.
They had eldest son Brooklyn at their side as he was just six months old and the flower girls were dressed as angels and the cake topped with a nearly nude sculpture of the newlyweds.

It was announced last month that Beckham had signed the multi-million, multi-year deal with Hugo Boss - his latest in a number of lucrative ambassador deals.
Earlier this year, he was unveiled as a face of Stella Artois and he is also paid to endorse Nespresso coffee.
Speaking about his huge deal with fashion house Boss, Beckham said: 'Over the last few years, I’ve been wanting to invest more time in design and fashion, but wanted to ensure I collaborated with a brand and team that could deliver something truly global and impactful.
'I’ve really enjoyed the collaboration with BOSS so far and have been impressed by the team’s ambition, creativity, and desire for excellence.
'I look forward to sharing what we’ve been working on so far, including the Fall/Winter 2024 campaign as the first step in our long-term partnership.'
