Inside David Beckham's 10 year battle to bag a knighthood after hat-trick of setbacks including tax row & leaked emails

IT has been ten years of tears, toil and the one unfortunate tantrum, but FINALLY David Beckham has landed his knighthood. Never has a man grafted harder — or deserved the nod — more. 8 David Beckham has landed his knighthood Credit: Getty 8 David and Victoria with his OBE in 2003 Credit: Rex Features 8 A last-minute Beckham free kick sends England to the 2002 World Cup finals Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd Quite how Last night, a friend said: 'Quite simply, this is the ultimate accolade for David. 'Forget the medals, the trophies, the global fame and the millions in the bank. As a genuine and devoted royalist this means more to him than anything. It is his lifetime's work — and he's still only 50. 'People don't seem to realise how hard David works. His determination and work ethic is second to none.

'His family and friends are incredibly proud, and David himself is beyond happy. 'After all these years, he's still a bit of a mum's boy and is so thrilled his mum Sandra gets to see this. It is a huge moment in the Beckham clan.' For millions of fans, the knighthood is long overdue. Most read in Football And certainly, within hours of The Sun breaking the news yesterday, social media was flooded with messages of congratulations. Only a cynic, or a republican, could deny David Robert Joseph Beckham this honour. David Beckham meets with King Charles at Chelsea Flower Show A former But it is off the pitch where Becks has really come into his own, single-handedly revolutionising how players regard themselves. Rather than being seen as a fledgling commodity, In short, he has transcended the sport. With more endorsement deals than you can shake a stick at, such canniness meant that by the age of 35, David knew he need never kick a ball or work again, if he so chose. Until Now, inspired by Becks Inc, newer stars have secured their own marketing rights, ensuring a golden future away from the pitch. A generation of footballers' kids and grandkids will have David to thank for their homes, cars and private school education. In short, David was, and continues to be, a trailblazer. While it is his wife — the soon-to- be Lady Beckham — who is the acclaimed fashion designer, ironically it is Beckham who created the defining aesthetic of the 21st Century: The tattoo sleeve. Trailblazer His first inking came in 1999 — a dedication to his eldest son, How sad, then, that the 26-year-old influencer, who hasn't spoken to his dad meaningfully in seven months, only found out about the knighthood after being directed to The Sun's exclusive story by pals. David would never ever want to be uncouth and openly brag about his honour. He knows how to behave A friend However, this could well be a decorum thing. After all, once the letter from the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood comes in the post, recipients are politely asked to keep schtum. It is, as David well knows, considered terribly poor etiquette to tell all and sundry in advance of the official publication. Yesterday, however, he excitedly took to Instagram to re-post reports, published in this newspaper, about the King's latest Birthday Honours. A friend added: 'Honestly, after all the speculation over the past few weeks, until he's on bended knee in front of the King, David won't quite believe it. 'Obviously he's shared the news with his immediate family but he won't be doing any formal celebrations until after the ceremony. 8 Beckham with Charles last year as he is named an ambassador for the King's Foundation Credit: PA 8 Prince William and David visit the London Air Ambulance charity last year Credit: Getty 8 Beckham with Sandra and Ted at the premiere of his 2023 Netflix documentary Credit: AP 'David would never ever want to be uncouth and openly brag about his honour. He knows how to behave. 'He is still not in contact with Brooklyn and, frankly, it would have been weird for him to reach out and tell him, so he didn't. It is up to Brooklyn now if he wishes to extend an olive branch and send on his congratulations. 'It is so sad because family means everything to David and he would love his entire clan to be at the investiture. Only time will tell though, but at the moment it is looking unlikely. But for now, David wants to just focus on the positives and celebrate this incredible achievement.' One can only imagine how proud his loving parents, The whole family adores the monarchy, as David's remarkable 12-hour vigil in line in 2022 to pay his respects to Over the past year he has also developed a touching relationship with King Charles — something a young Chingford-raised David could, surely, never have imagined. So much so that the monarch even sent over a birthday gift by courier to mark the star's Again, David has only shared with his inner circle what the gift was, although I am told it is, 'Something personal to Charles and David, something special'. Human side In return, of course, David has sent the King regular supplies of his homegrown honey. His friendship with Prince William, meanwhile, continues to flourish. The pair are on texting terms, and as William is an But William also credits Becks with helping him navigate fame and the endless public scrutiny he faces each day. Despite David's well-documented highs, the path to this coveted knighthood has not been smooth. After all these years, he's still a bit of a mum's boy and is so thrilled his mum Sandra gets to see this. It is a huge moment in the Beckham clan A friend His sporting and charity endeavours — he has been a devoted Unicef ambassador for 20 years and was recently on the front cover of Time magazine in recognition of his philanthropy — should, on paper, have seen him recognised years ago. But he has had some widely publicised, erm, hiccups. These include the leaking of private emails in 2017 in which, embarrassingly, he labelled the Honours Committee 'unappreciative c***s'. Not very decorous. But in credit to David, he refused to kowtow to Russian hackers and pay their £1million ransom to stop the hacked emails being made public. While initially there was some outrage, his genuine passion and frustration also showed his human side. 'Thoroughly decent' It only endeared him further to many of the public, me included, who have variously questioned the committee's track record. Alongside a raft of other celebrities, including Ant and Dec, Gary Lineker, HMRC won a case against the film financing However, in 2021 David was cleared by tax chiefs after proving his financial affairs were all in order, giving him the green light for a knighthood.

Indeed, it even referenced his worst footballing moment — that 1998 Showing just how full circle he has come, the documentary featured Diego Simeone, the other player at the centre of the red card incident. The pair have long been pals. Says a friend: 'David has lived an utterly extraordinary life but, through it all, he has remained a kind, patient and thoroughly decent man. 'Utterly extraordinary life 'Every single day he is approached for selfies and autographs, and he does it all with such good grace. He knows he has a responsibility and does his utmost to use his platform for good. 'He also does countless work behind the scenes that doesn't get written about or publicised. 'You would be hard-pressed to find someone with a bad word to say against him. 'It has been a long time coming, but finally David has what he has always dreamed of.'
