In a remarkably personal revelation, football icon David Beckham has shared the touching conversation he had with wife Victoria following the announcement of his knighthood earlier this year.
The former England captain, who was officially knighted by King Charles III in February 2025 for his outstanding contributions to football and charity, disclosed that he immediately turned to his wife of 25 years with a special request about her new title.
'I looked at Victoria and said, 'You have to be my Lady now,'' Beckham revealed during an intimate interview. 'It was one of the first things I said to her after finding out.'
The 49-year-old superstar, known for his legendary career with Manchester United, Real Madrid, and the England national team, spoke openly about the emotional moment the couple shared when the honour was confirmed.
A Quarter-Century Partnership
Beckham was quick to emphasise that the knighthood recognition belongs as much to Victoria as it does to him, highlighting their 25-year marriage and partnership through both their illustrious careers.
'This honour isn't just about me,' Beckham stated. 'Victoria has been by my side through everything - from my football career to building our businesses and family. She's been my rock.'
The couple, who married in 1999 and share four children - Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper - have become one of Britain's most enduring and celebrated power couples.
From Posh and Becks to Sir and Lady
The transformation from the 90s 'Posh and Becks' phenomenon to Sir David and Lady Victoria represents a remarkable journey for the pair, who have maintained their status as global style icons while building substantial business empires.
Victoria Beckham has evolved from her Spice Girls fame to become a respected fashion designer with her own successful label, while David has built ventures ranging from MLS team Inter Miami CF to various brand partnerships and charitable foundations.
The knighthood caps an extraordinary year for Beckham, who received the honour not only for his football achievements but also for his extensive charity work, particularly with UNICEF where he has served as a Goodwill Ambassador since 2005.
When asked about how Victoria has adapted to her new title, Beckham smiled and noted: 'She's taken to it rather well, as you might expect.'
