Former England international and football icon David Beckham has officially been knighted by King Charles III, earning the prestigious title of Sir David Beckham.
The 50-year-old former midfielder, known for his stints with Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, and the England national team, was honored with the title of Knight Bachelor — one of the UK's most distinguished recognitions, Idman.biz reports.
His wife, Victoria Beckham, was also granted the title of Lady Beckham.
Beckham received the knighthood not only for his achievements on the pitch but also for his ongoing charitable and social impact. In a message shared on social media after the ceremony, Beckham wrote:
"Great to spend time at the King's Foundation awards meeting inspiring people who are transforming lives through initiatives in environmental education, traditional heritage crafts and sustainable architecture. Congratulations to all the winners"
Beckham rose to international fame as a product of Manchester United's famed youth academy. During his time with the Red Devils, he won six Premier League titles, the FA Cup, and the UEFA Champions League.
This latest honor adds to Beckham’s already iconic legacy — not just as a footballer, but as a global ambassador for sport, style, and philanthropy.
