Former England captain, 50, ‘immensely proud’
Made ambassador for King’s Foundation in 2024
The King inspired the suit Sir David Beckham wore to receive his knighthood, the former England captain has said as he described accepting the honour as the “proudest moment” of his career.
The player, 50, was recognised for his services to sport and charity in a ceremony at Windsor Castle. He wore a grey suit made by his wife Victoria, Lady Beckham, who accompanied him to the event.
Asked whether he managed to speak to Charles during the ceremony, Sir David said: “He was quite impressed with my suit. He’s kind of the most elegantly dressed man that I know, so he inspired quite a few of my looks over the years and he definitely inspired this look.
