David Beckham to be knighted next week as part of King Charles' honors list
Lionel Messi might soon have a member of royalty as his boss. Inter Miami co-owner and Manchester United legend David Beckham will be granted knighthood as part of King Charles' birthday honors list, according to multiple British media reports. And his former Spice girl wife, Victoria, will be known as Lady Beckham. Beckham, who turned 50 last month, was the longtime captain of England's national team, has been involved with many global charities and was appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2003. BBC Sport and The Times reported that Beckham will be rewarded for his soccer career and his contributions to British society next week, when the list of knighthood recipients is announced. He reportedly was first nominated for knighthood in 2011. Beckham played a key role in London landing the 2012 Olympics and has been an ambassador for Unicef since 2005. He appeared in 115 games for the English national team, and helped lead Manchester United to six Premier League titles, including the treble in 1999. After leaving Manchester United, he played for Real Madrid, L.A. Galaxy, Paris St-Germain and AC Milan. He is only English player to score at three World Cups. He retired in 2013 and announced a year later that he was launching an MLS team in Miami. He partnered with brothers Jorge and Jose Mas to form Inter Miami, which played its inaugural season in 2020 and in 2023 signed former FC Barcelona stars Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, and later added Luis Suarez. After a long search for a stadium site, Beckham and the Mas brothers are now constructing the 25,000-seat Miami Freedom Park stadium adjacent to Miami International Airport. It is scheduled to open for the 2026 MLS season.
