The British soccer legend, David Beckham, has been knighted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle, becoming Sir David Beckham. The ceremony, held on November 4, 2025, was attended by Beckham's parents and his wife, Victoria Beckham, who designed the suit he wore for the occasion. Beckham expressed his pride and patriotism, stating, 'I couldn't be prouder' and emphasizing the importance of the monarchy to his family. This honor comes in recognition of his contributions to sports and charity. Beckham's dedication to the monarchy was evident during the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, as he waited in line for 12 hours to pay his respects to the queen's coffin at Westminster Hall. Beckham's illustrious career includes captaining England's national football team for six years and playing in the United States, Spain, and France. After retiring from professional soccer in 2013, he took on the role of president and co-owner of the MLS team Inter Miami.
