David Beckham is set to receive a knighthood in the upcoming king’s birthday honours list, recognising his outstanding contributions to football and his charitable work.
The former England captain, who was awarded an OBE in 2003, will now be officially titled Sir David Beckham. His wife, Victoria Beckham, will become Lady Beckham.
Beckham, who turned 50 last month, has long hoped for this honour. His role as ambassador to the King’s Foundation and recent appearances at key royal events added to the expectations.
During a recent meeting at the Chelsea Flower Show, King Charles III joked with Beckham, asking, “You got it, didn’t you?” to which Beckham replied warmly.
Beckham’s football legacy includes 115 England caps, scoring at three World Cups, and being a key part of Manchester United’s treble-winning 1999 season. He also played for Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Off the pitch, Beckham helped secure the London 2012 Olympics and has been a UNICEF ambassador since 2005. The David Beckham UNICEF Fund, launched in 2015, supports children worldwide.
Victoria Beckham earned an OBE in 2017 for her contributions to fashion.
