Soccer Star David Beckham Set for Knighthood
Football legend David Beckham is expected to receive a knighthood as part of King Charles’ birthday honors list, according to reports. The 50-year-old former Manchester United star has long been a prominent figure in British culture and a dedicated philanthropist.
He currently serves as an ambassador for UNICEF and the King’s Foundation, and was previously appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2003. The official announcement of the King’s honors list is anticipated next week.
This prestigious recognition would also bestow the title of “Lady Beckham” upon his wife, Victoria Beckham.
The news follows recent reports of a close relationship between Beckham and King Charles. The pair were seen interacting at the Chelsea Flower Show in May, with the King inquiring about a birthday gift he had given Beckham.
Beckham recently celebrated his 50th birthday with a lavish party in London. However, the celebration was reportedly overshadowed by ongoing family tensions, notably the absence of his eldest son, Brooklyn, and daughter-in-law, Nicola Peltz-Beckham.
Sources suggest the couple’s absence stems from strained relationships within the Beckham family. Despite these challenges, it is reported that David and Victoria remain hopeful for reconciliation.
