David received the honor as part of the King’s birthday honors. The athlete’s knighthood recognizes his iconic sporting career and his lasting contributions to British society. With this honor, his wife now carries the title Lady Beckham.
The knighthood comes after David was appointed an Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth in 2003. The former Manchester United player was put forward to receive a knighthood over 10 years ago, with a nomination in 2011, The Guardian reported.
The soccer star was asked to be an ambassador for the King’s Foundation in 2024.
