Victoria Beckham will be able to change her title now that David Beckham has been awarded a knighthood in the King\u2019s Birthday Honours.<\/p>\n

The King’s Birthday Honours list recognises the achievements and service of people across the UK, and includes a whole host of famous faces awarded for their work in the industry.<\/p>\n

Sir David Beckham has made quite the impact in his services to sport and charity over the last 30 years of his successful career.<\/p>\n

He originally signed for Manchester United as a trainee in 1991 before signing as a professional player on 23rd January 1993. However, it wasn’t until 1996 that the star had what can now be known as his “breakout moment” when he played for Manchester United in a match against Wimbledon and scored a goal from the halfway line.<\/p>\n

“It changed my life,” he later said. “The ball seemed to be in the air for hours and it all went quiet. Then the ball went in and it just erupted. I was on cloud nine.”<\/p>\n

After his glittering 21 year career, David retired in 2013 at 38-years-old after winning a title with Paris Saint Germain.<\/p>\n

Outside of his footballing bubble, David married wife Victoria Beckham in 1999, with them since giving birth to their four children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.<\/p>\n

In his recent Netflix documentary, Beckham, the footballer shared how he used to drive four hours just to visit Victoria even if it was for 20 minutes<\/p>\n

As David receives his knighthood, Victoria will be eligible for her title to change. “Lady” is used for a woman who is the wife of a man that holds the title of “Sir”. This means that Victoria will now be known as Lady Beckham.<\/p>\n

Addressing the honour of his new title, David shared: “Growing up in east London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour.<\/p>\n

“To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true.<\/p>\n

“Off the pitch I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to represent Britain around the world and work with incredible organisations that are supporting communities in need and inspiring the next generation.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I\u2019m grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment.<\/p>\n

“It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I\u2019m immensely proud and it\u2019s such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The singer-turned-entrepreneur will be known as Lady Victoria Beckham following the King’s Birthday HonoursThe former Spice Girls singer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":182527,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,4884,2465,16,15,113],"class_list":{"0":"post-182526","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-manchester","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-victoria-beckham"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114679115300977320","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182526\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
