David Beckham honoured by King Charles III at Windsor ceremony in England | OneFootball

Officially a knight since June, former football player David Beckham was formally decorated this Tuesday by King Charles III in a ceremony held at Windsor Castle.

Elegantly dressed in a tailcoat, Beckham appeared smiling before the monarch and the two exchanged a few words.

“For a young man from the neighborhoods of East London, to be here at Windsor Castle, honored by His Majesty the King, the most important and respected institution in the world, is truly a great moment,” commented the former player after the ceremony, which he attended accompanied by his wife, former singer Victoria Beckham, as well as his parents.

The 50-year-old former player, who retired in 2013, and his wife Victoria are now officially Sir David and Lady Victoria.

David Beckham, a football and fashion icon, was decorated for his services to sport and his collaboration with charitable organizations.

The former England national team player collaborated with the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) and with campaigns from Malaria No More, an organization working towards the eradication of malaria.

The Beckham couple have been in contact with British royalty for years and were invited to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011, and in 2018 to the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
