F****** joke.’ Katherine Jenkins was reunited with Sir David Beckham in the Royal Box on day one of Wimbledon, nine years after their OBE feud came to light Following similar arrangements to last year’s Wimbledon, she was seated in the row behind Sir David, but didn’t interact with the star The opera star and her husband, Andrew Levitas, chatted with Classic FM radio presenter and actor Alexander Armstrong, while Sir David sat quietly with his mother Sandra The Royal Box featured stars from all walks of the world, with Sir David taking pride of place in the front row, having flown in from the US where he had been watching the World Cup The opera star was awarded an OBE in 2014, for services to various charities and her travelling to war zones to entertain the troops. Sir David was formally knighted by King Charles III in recognition of his services to sport and charity in November 2025.The hacked emails also suggested allegations surrounding his stance on the Scottish referendum and investing in loss-making companies to reduce his tax bill.Sir David’s representatives dismissed the claims at the time, stating that the emails had been ‘hacked and doctored’ from a private account.A spokesperson said: ‘This story is based on outdated material taken out of context from hacked and doctored private emails from a third party server and gives a deliberately inaccurate picture.’  Katherine and Sir David had allegedly been at odds years earlier, when she took to Twitter in 2012 to deny internet rumours that they’d had an affair, a decision which reportedly left the England star utterly furious.In 2018, Katherine claimed she was still waiting for an apology from the sports star for the alleged comments he made in the leaked emails.  Speaking about the shock comments Sir David made towards her, Katherine admitted she has no reason to feel anything but proud of her achievements.

You just think, “Aw, I wasn’t doing anything”. To get caught up in that wasn’t pleasant. I don’t know why, again, that was aimed at me.”I also don’t feel the need to defend this, by the way. I know what I’ve done and when I got the OBE it was given to me for music, and for charity.’When asked whether she was angry with Sir David for his alleged comments, Katherine added: ‘It’s obviously disappointing.
