David and his wife, Victoria Beckham (51), have become regulars at royal events like the Emir of Qatar's state banquet at Buckingham Palace in December.
Don't forget those private royal celebrations, like the weddings of Prince William (42) and Princess Kate (43), and Prince Harry (40) and Duchess Meghan (43). And let's not forget David's 12-hour wait to pay his respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022), who had previously honored him with the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2003. A knighthood may be an even greater achievement for Beckham.
