David Beckham to Be Honoured with a Knighthood in King’s Birthday Honours
UNITED KINGDOM, JUN 05 – David Beckham will be knighted for his football achievements and charitable efforts, joining an elite group of sports figures honored by King Charles III.
- David Beckham, the former England captain and Manchester United legend who recently turned 50, is expected to be honoured with a knighthood in the forthcoming King's Birthday Honours announcement.
- His potential knighthood follows years of speculation, delays linked to a past tax avoidance scheme, and long-standing recognition for his football and charitable contributions.
- Beckham has earned 115 caps for England, was awarded an OBE in 2003, donated his PSG salary to children's charities, and serves as an ambassador for the King's Foundation.
- During the Chelsea Flower Show on May 19, King Charles III appeared to allude to Beckham’s forthcoming honour by asking if he had received it, prompting Beckham to express his gratitude by describing the moment as incredible.
- If confirmed, the knighthood will officially recognize Beckham’s achievements and philanthropy, and his wife Victoria will gain the title Lady Beckham.
