Former footballer will take title of sir and wife Victoria will become Lady Beckham
David Beckham will be awarded a knighthood next week as part of King Charles’s birthday celebrations, according to reports.
Beckham has been in line for a knighthood for more than a decade after playing more than 100 times for England and becoming well known for his charity work, much of which is focused on improving the lives of underprivileged children.
Beckham, 50, will be named in King Charles III’s birthday honours list and will take the title of sir. His wife, Victoria Beckham, the fashion designer and former Spice Girls member, will take the name Lady Beckham, according to the Sun.
The couple have appeared alongside the royals on public occasions, most recently at the Chelsea flower show last month where they were pictured alongside Charles and Queen Camilla. In February the Beckhams attended a dinner to promote Anglo-Italian relations at Highgrove, King Charles’s private home in Gloucestershire.
