Beckham was knighted.

David Beckham, Manchester United legend and owner of Inter Miami, is set to be knighted.

According to The Sun , the former England captain is expected to be officially recognized as "Sir" next week. Now, Beckham's wife, Victoria, will also officially be given the title of "Lady".

With 115 appearances for England and immense contributions both on and off the pitch, Beckham's name is considered to occupy a prominent place on the list of those honored by the Royal Family.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star has cultivated a strong personal relationship with King Charles III over the years. This relationship has been further strengthened through Beckham's role as an ambassador for The King's Foundation.

This wasn't the first time Beckham received recognition from the Royal Family. In 2003, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace for his contributions to football.

Beckham was initially nominated for a knighthood in 2011 after helping London win the bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games. However, Beckham was later removed from consideration due to his involvement in a tax evasion scandal.

Since retiring from professional football in 2013, Beckham has focused on philanthropy, business ventures, and developing the image of Inter Miami.

With financial issues reportedly resolved and clarified with the UK tax authorities years ago, the path to this prestigious honor has finally opened. This is a well-deserved recognition for Beckham's tireless contributions.
