After years of waiting and speculation, David Beckham is finally set to receive one of the UK’s most prestigious honors.
According to The Sun, the football legend will be knighted in King Charles’ upcoming Birthday Honours List—an announcement expected to be made public next week.
Fans who have long called for the recognition will be thrilled to see Beckham officially become “Sir David.”
A New Title for Victoria Too
With Beckham’s new title, his wife, Victoria—known globally from her Spice Girls days—will also see a change in how she’s addressed.
Once the knighthood is formalized, she’ll be known as Lady Beckham.
The couple, already icons in British pop culture, are about to enter a more formal chapter in their public life.
A Royal Connection That’s Been Growing
The honour doesn’t come out of nowhere.
Just a few weeks ago, Beckham was spotted chatting with King Charles at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London.
Their interaction wasn’t just casual small talk—the King warmly congratulated Beckham on reaching his milestone 50th birthday, and the two appeared to share a genuine rapport.
A Thoughtful Birthday Gesture
Their encounter turned especially personal when King Charles asked Beckham if he had received their birthday gift.
Beckham lit up as he confirmed: “It was incredible. Thank you, it was very kind.”
The exchange took place near the Highgrove stand, which is part of the King’s Foundation charity—an organization Beckham now supports as an ambassador.
A Sweet Moment with the Queen
Queen Camilla also joined in, offering her own warm words.
“Nice to see you again, glad you got the roses,” she said, revealing the thoughtful nature of the royal couple’s gift.
The moment showed just how far Beckham’s relationship with the royal family has come—from a football star admired by millions to a man clearly appreciated by the monarchy.
