However, Victoria’s outfit choice sparked many mixed opinions. Some people thought it was “inappropriate” for the event as it looked like an evening gown.
Victoria, who is married to former footballer David Beckham – a friend to the royals, wore a stunning blue asymmetric midi dress with a draped detailing on the shoulder from her own clothing collection. She added heels to the look and delicate jewellery pieces.
Not keen on her dress choice. Not appropriate for a day meet.
One person said on X: “Does she know it’s the middle of the day? Why is she wearing evening wear? No judgment of course.”
Another wrote: “Not keen on her dress choice. Not appropriate for a day meet.”
A third added: “Wrong outfit.”
But there were many who loved Victoria’s dress and also gushed over her elegant curtsy to the queen.

Meanwhile, a body language expert spoke about Victoria’s true feelings at the meeting. Darren Stanton explained that Victoria showed signs of nervousness.
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, Darren Stanton said: “Victoria Beckham on the other hand was far more fidgety. She clearly has a lot of respect and reverence for the queen, but she also appeared to be slightly nervous.
“She was very sharp and quick in her movements, something that usually suggests nerves. She was also fiddling with her hands which can often be a form of self soothing gesture.”
Meanwhile, he also spoke about Camilla’s blue outfit choice. He added: “Camilla wore blue, which is quite interesting, as she normally wears white or more subtle, pastel colours.
“Blue is a striking colour so she clearly wanted to stand out. It seems to be her making a statement whilst not commanding all the attention.”
