Victoria Beckham curtseyed to Queen Camilla during an event at Buckingham Palace to mark the 15th anniversary of Women of the World (WOW), an organisation that promotes gender equality worldwide.
It comes amid an ongoing feud between the Beckham family and the Sussex royals, with the former friends understood not to be on speaking terms.
The Beckham’s family feud reportedly dates back to 2018 after Meghan Markle accused Victoria Beckham of leaking private information about her and Prince Harry to the press.
David and Victoria have been prominent figures at royal events, attending both Prince William’s and Harry’s weddings with the former England football star queuing for 12 hours to pay his respects to the late Queen after her death in 2022.

The former Spice Girl, who wore a grey sleeveless dress and heels to Buckingham Palace, dropped into an elegant curtsey as the Queen greeted her.
The royal gesture mirrored the actions of Princess Kate during Monday’s Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, where the Princess of Wales demonstrated her royal expertise by delivering a flawless deep curtsy to King Charles upon arrival.
Camilla said: “Nice to see you again. Did you enjoy the Italian dinner. It was good fun wasn’t it?”
The Beckham’s were previously invited by the King and Queen to celebrate Italian culture in the week that their State Visit to Italy and the Holy See this spring was announced.

Beckham replied: “It was a lot of fun, thank you so much for inviting us.”
The Queen added: “The food was good, wasn’t it? With the singer interjecting: “And the wine.”
In 2022, Meghan went viral after a moment in the Sussexes record-breaking debut Netflix series, Harry & Meghan, in which the duchess performed an exaggerated curtsy when recalling her first meeting with the late Queen Elizabeth.
Royal fans viewed the gesture as disrespectful, with Meghan suffering major backlash.

Despite their feud with the Sussexes, the Beckhams continue to have a close relationship with many of the Royal Family, including the King, Queen and Prince William.
The Beckham couple were among the 170 guests at the state banquet to host the Emir of Qatar in the ballroom of Buckingham Palace during December last year.
During Tuesday’s event, Camilla, who serves as the “proud” President of WOW, described hosting the 15th anniversary ceremony of the organisation that promotes gender equality worldwide as a “huge pleasure” during a speech to those in attendance.
The Queen has supported WOW since its launch in 2010, and as President since 2015, attending The WOW Festival in London and events around the world.
