Bhekie Bhekie

In a grand ceremony at Windsor Castle, David Beckham was knighted by King Charles III on November 4, 2025.

This prestigious honor recognizes Beckham's remarkable contributions to sport and charity. 

The 50-year-old former soccer star was reportedly overjoyed, calling it his "proudest moment." Who wouldn't be proud after such a long  
wait.

With this knighthood,  Beckham becomes the 16th former soccer player to receive the honor.

His philanthropic work including his role as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador since 2005 played a significant part in this recognition.

It is safer to say behind every 'Knight' is the wife. Victoria Beckham, stylishly accompanied him to the event, earning the title Lady Beckham. 

This accolade cements Beckham's legacy both on and off the pitch. Congratulations, Sir David!

Talk of a long wait. After a lengthy wait, David was finally knighted
