Sir David Beckham to be awarded knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
King's Birthday Honors: David Beckham on the List to Become Sir Beckham
Kick off your week with some hip news, folks! David Beckham, the legendary ex-English football captain, is about to receive a knighthood according to our sources. That's right, it's time to call him Sir David Beckham!
Remember when he received an OBE back in 2003, on good 'ol Tony Blair's recommendation? Well, it seems like that was just a warm-up. Beck's about to level up and take the ultimate footy title for England.
So, how does one become a knight? Well, besides scoring at three World Cups and a stellar football career, you've gotta make a positive impact beyond the pitch. And David's done just that!
He's been a key player in securing the London 2012 Olympics, an ambassador for UNICEF since 2005, and even launched the David Beckham UNICEF Fund, among other contributions. And let's not forget about his successful business ventures, like being a co-owner of Inter Miami CF and Salford City!
Of course, this isn't the first time Beckham's name's been in the honors list. Rumors swirled last year that he might be a contender after he was announced as ambassador to The King's Foundation. Things really heated up in December when he and his wife, the fabulous Victoria Beckham, attended a state banquet.
The breaking point? The Queen calling him over at the Chelsea Flower show and asking, "You got it, didn't you?" To which Beckham responded, "It was incredible, thank you. It was very kind." The Queen then sweetly said, "I'm glad you got the roses."
