David Beckham is now officially Sir David Beckham. The soccer legend has been knighted by King Charles III for his contributions to both sports and charity.
The announcement from Buckingham Palace, NBC News reported Friday, was part of Charles’ birthday honors lists. With Beckham earning the prefix “Sir,” his wife Victoria will now be referred to as Lady Beckham.
The 50-year-old, who had a 20-year professional career, is one of the sport’s most well-known faces, having appeared in three FIFA World Cups for England and more than 100 games for its national team. Beckham is currently president and co-owner of Inter Miami, the Florida city’s Major League Soccer franchise.
