David Beckham becomes Sir (and his wife Victoria will be Lady)

From next week David Beckham will be able to boast the title of Sir. The former footballer will receive the Cavalierato, one of the most important honors of the United Kingdom, on the occasion of the celebrations for the birthday of King Carlo III, who despite being born in November publicly celebrates the anniversary during the summer.

A nice goal for Beckham, who has been snubbed for years by the list of eligible knights. According to the first rumors who come from London, the former footballer, who turned 50 last May, would have received the news for a few weeks, as practice requires, but in addition to the official communication the news would also come from the king and Queen Camilla, when on the occasion of the last Chelsea Flower Show they had been seen chatting amiably. “Majesty, it’s a pleasure to see her,” David Beckham had said to King Charles III, who had then asked him if he had already received his gift. “You understood it, right?” The king asked him. “It was incredible, thanks, it was very kind.”

There would be no doubt about the subject of the conversation. All that remains is to wait for the day of the official conferment of the title, which will also give Lady’s to the ex -sports wife, Victoria Beckham.

At this recognition, the former footballer would keep a lot, so much so that in recent years he had also raised controversies due to having often been excluded from the rose of the candidates. In February 2017, for example, they trapped a series of emails in which Beckham invested against the honor committee engaged in the selection. In 2003, however, the OBE, the order of the British Empire had been conferred, assigned to different personalities for their commitment and their goals. A definitely important thing, but perhaps too little for Becks, who met much more.

Beckham, a great supporter of the royal family since he was very young, has established a privileged relationship with King Carlo in recent years; The two, in fact, are linked by the common passion for plants and the environment. In June 2024 they made themselves photographed together with Highgrove House, the beloved king’s beloved residence in the Glouchestershire, when Beckham was appointed ambassador of the King’s Foundation, a non -profit aimed at bringing young people closer to the protection of the environment. The knighting was only a matter of time.
