Did Beckham Copy Broad's Outfit At Wimbledon? England Pacer Makes Hilarious Claim
Last Updated: Stuart Broad has said that David Beckham copied his outfit at Wimbledon; both wore similar suits in the Royal Box. Former England pacer Stuart Broad has claimed that David Beckham copied his outfit at Wimbledon, after both of them were seen wearing similar suits during the opening day of the Championships on Monday, sitting in the coveted Royal Box, with Gareth Southgate seated beside Beckham. Beckham was on the list of guests expected to attend Centre Court matches on the opening day of Wimbledon. Others included Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne and Southgate. Wimbledon 2025 is already serving big style statements, and starting things off in style was none other than Beckham. While he was the star attraction, a look at a viral image would show that Broad sported a similar outfit. During the second Test at Edgbaston between India and England, commentator Nasser Hussain asked Broad how his week went. 'You copied him, haven't you?" Hussain laughed. Watch the video here: When Broady met Becks at Wimbledon 🤣🎾 — Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) July 2, 2025 'I actually think he has copied me," Broad claimed with a grin. 'When he walked into lunch, he put his hand out to shake hands, and he's had some surgery, big sort of plaster cast or something on his hand, and it was a bit awkward. I was sort of like, how firm a handshake do I go here?" Broad said. 'So I ended up sort of just doing like a bit of a tappy handshake with him, which was a little bit awkward, but no, it was a lovely day," Broad added. Just last week, Beckham's wife Victoria shared a picture of him recovering in a hospital bed, arm in a sling. 'I broke my arm 23 years ago playing for England. I had a screw put in, and it needed to come out," Beckham later told DAZN Football. Besides the aforementioned biggies, Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson and her eldest daughter Princess Beatrice were also present on Day 1 of Wimbledon.
