David Beckham is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honour's List after being snubbed for years.
The former Manchester United and England star, who recently celebrated his milestone 50th birthday, will be confirmed as a 'Sir' when the list is released next week, according to The Sun.
His wife and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham will be known as Lady Beckham.
The tattooed ex-England captain last month chatted with King Charles at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London, with their bond reportedly growing close in recent years through their shared love of gardening.
The 76-year-old monarch was heard congratulating the former England footballer on his landmark celebrations – and asked the star whether he had received their present.
