… Knighted By King Charles
Published
David Beckham was anything but surly on Tuesday — he received a knighthood from King Charles!!
The English soccer superstar officially became Sir David Beckham during a ceremony at Windsor Castle … being presented with the recognition for “Services to Sport and to Charity.”
The 50-year-old was happy as could be as he took a knee in front of Charles … and proudly flaunted his new medal in a photo op with his wife, Victoria.
Beckham, of course, is one of the most popular names in the sport’s history — he was a captain for the English national team, was a superstar for Manchester United, and suited up for other clubs like Real Madrid and the MLS’ LA Galaxy.
Off the pitch, he’s known to use his platforms for good … contributing to countless charitable efforts over the years.
Sir David had to be geekin’ over his knighthood … as he’s been outspoken about his love for the royal family and its importance.
He joins other star athletes like Lewis Hamilton and Andy Murray, who were also knighted in recent years.
