The knighthood will make Beckham “Sir David” while his wife since 1999, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, will become “Lady Beckham.” In 2003, Beckham was awarded the Order of the British Empire, or OBE, for services to soccer. Victoria Beckham got the same honor for services to the fashion industry in a later New Year Honours list.

David Beckham is going to be awarded a knighthood in King Charles’ birthday honors list next week. He will be awarded for his soccer career and contribution to British society, according to multiple reports.

British soccer star-turned-business mogul David Beckham is reportedly set to receive his knighthood next week, after waiting in line for the honor for 14 years.
