David Beckham puts on proud display ahead of 'upcoming knighthood'
David Beckham was all smiles while chatting to pals during an Inter Miami team training session on Friday. The football star, who is rumoured to be being knighted in the King's Birthday Honours List this week, looked relaxed as he chatted with head coach Javier Mascherano and another person.
If the star, who recently celebrated his 50th birthday without his eldest son in attendance, does receive a knighthood, then he officially becomes a Sir, and his wife Victoria will be a Lady. Amid the reports, Inter Miami co-owner David was pictured kicking a ball during a team training session on Friday afternoon.
The football icon, who is said to be locked in a feud with his eldest son, Brooklyn, looked cool and casual in a grey t-shirt, black sweatpants, trainers and a white baseball cap.

At one point, he took a break from training to sit by the sidelines under the blazing sun. Meanwhile, the training session comes after he was snapped attending a Royal event this week, hosted by King Charles himself.
The footballer was snapped attending the King's Foundation Awards ceremony at St James' Palace in London – before the official announcement of his long-awaited knighthood.
He looked dapper in a navy blue double breasted blazer, striped blue shirt and a grey tie for the lavish event.
Amid the family feud, it has been said that David didn't tell Brooklyn, who is married to Nicola Peltz, about his reported knighthood. Instead, Brooklyn reportedly learned of his father's happy news through the media.
A source for Brooklyn told Page Six he was thrilled his dad was finally receiving the honour, while a source quoted as someone close to his parents told the publication: "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect."
Now, the 26-year-old star has shared a picture of a tattoo that could be perceived as a tell-tale sign about where his loyalties lie.
The image shows the tattoo on Brooklyn's upper back that is based on a note Nicola, 30, wrote to him before their wedding in April 2022. Tattooed in a stylish calligraphy font, it reads:
"My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I've ever met and hope I never go a day without your love.
"I think you are so incredible. Just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wifey."

Jamie Foxx has rare night out with on–off girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp... months after they split
Jamie Foxx was seen enjoying a rare night out with his on-and-off girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp, as well as his teenage daughter Anelise, in Los Angeles on Saturday. The 57-year-old actor — who recently joined his children at the lavish Summer Gala in St. Tropez — flashed a cheerful smile as he headed to dinner with the group. The Django Unchained star was stylishly casual in a black-and-white patterned shirt, as well as ripped black trousers. He paired the look with a pair of white sneakers and added a bizarrely tall cream-colored domed hat with a wide brim. Jamie completed the look for the evening with flashy silver necklaces as well as fashionable shades. At one point, the Hollywood actor could be seen holding hands with Alyce, whom he reportedly split from earlier this year in January. At one point, the Hollywood actor could be seen holdings hands with Alyce - whom he reportedly split from earlier this year in January She sported a glittering silver bralette top from Dolce & Gabbana and layered a sheer black cropped shirt on top. Alyce completed her ensemble by donning a pair of fitted black pants with heels and carried a small purse in her left hand. Her locks were pulled away from her face and styled into a high ponytail for a finishing touch. Jamie's youngest daughter Anelise also accompanied her famous dad for the night out, and she was joined by a few of her close pals. The comedian shares the 16-year-old with ex Kristin Grannis, while he shares his oldest daughter Corinne, 31, with Connie Kline. Jamie has been publicly linked to Alyce since 2023, but in January it was reported that they had gone their separate ways. A source told People at the time that the pair had called it quits after dating for a year and a half. The breakup reportedly happened after Jamie came under fire for a comic song in his Netflix special What Had Happened Was in which he sang that he had been 'cured' of white women. While it is not known when the pair sparked up a romance, Alyce had notably attended the premiere of his film Day Shift in 2022 (seen above right) - one year before they went public with their relationship 'Sisters, I'm here to tell you, I've been cured,' the Ray star sang from behind a piano. 'I've been cured of everything, no more white girls. I'm serious, no more white girls. No more white girls. No more. No more white girls.' As audience members applauded and leapt out their seats, Jamie continued: 'I'm back on the Black side of town! 'No more white girls. No more potato salad and raisins. No more white girls. No more spray tan, no more big t***ies no a**, no more white girls.' Several viewers were outraged by the song, which they claimed was racist, though there's no indication that it represents Foxx's true feelings or that it was anything more than a comedy sketch. While it is not known when Foxx and Alyce sparked up a romance, she notably attended the premiere of his film Day Shift in 2022 — one year before they went public with their relationship. Jamie and Alyce were first seen together in August 2023 as they grabbed dinner at Nobu in Malibu. Later that same year, the pair whisked themselves away for a relaxing trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The on-and-off couple were spotted on various other occasions, such as in 2024, when they enjoyed a beach getaway together. And in January of this year, the pair reportedly went their separate ways. However a few months later in April, Jamie and Alyce were seen reuniting at Nobu in Malibu. After grabbing dinner, the pair were spotted standing outside of the celebrity hotspot as they waited at the valet. The actor showed something on his phone to the blonde beauty which prompted her to laugh, but the two ended up leaving in separate cars. While both Jamie and Alyce have yet to publicly comment on the status of their relationship, the comedian has been keeping busy. Late in July, the actor was accompanied by his daughters Corinne and Anelise at the Summer Gala event in St. Tropez, France. The star kept it casual in a white button-up and matching white linen suit. Jamie held a big smile on his face as he paused for a brief photo session on the red carpet with his children. The actor reflected on his health scare in April 2023 when he suffered a brain bleed and stroke while filming the Netflix movie Back In Action; seen in June in LA The comedian was seen speaking on stage during the star-studded festivities and at one point mingled with other stars such Christian Louboutin, Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti. One month earlier, Jamie became emotional at the 2025 BET Awards in June as he accepted the Ultimate Icon Award. The actor reflected on his health scare in April 2023 when he suffered a brain bleed and stroke while filming the Netflix movie Back In Action. 'I gotta be honest — when I saw the "in memoriam" [portion of the awards show], I was like, man, that could have been me,' the actor admitted to the audience. 'But I don't know why I went through what I went through, but I know my second chance I'm not going turn down. I'm not going to turn down.' He also gave a special shout out to his sister Deidra as well as his eldest daughter Corinne. 'I cannot say enough about you. You've always taken the backseat to everything. But when you needed to drive it, you drove. And you made sure I was here. And I ain't going to turn down.' Jamie also shared a message to Anelise and gushed, 'My baby with the big hair. She hides under that hair because she's got something special.

Dame Helen Mirren: I am such a feminist, but James Bond has to be a guy
It comes after Amazon MGM Studios, which has taken creative control over the 007 character, revealed last month that Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight would be writing the script for the next film. The Oscar-winning actress told Saga Magazine: 'I'm such a feminist, but James Bond has to be a guy. You can't have a woman. It just doesn't work. 'James Bond has to be James Bond, otherwise it becomes something else.' Dame Helen, 80, stars alongside former 007 actor Pierce Brosnan in the new Thursday Murder Club film, a cosy crime drama adapted from the best-selling book by game show host Richard Osman. Brosnan, 72, agreed with the actress about the next portrayal of Bond and told the magazine: 'Oh, I think it has to be a man.' He added: 'I wish (Amazon) them well. I'm so excited to see the next man come on the stage and to see a whole new exuberance and life for this character. 'I adore the world of James Bond. It's been very good to me. It's the gift that keeps giving. 'And I'm just a member of the audience now, sitting back, saying: 'Show us what you're going to do'.' Dame Helen previously told the Standard that 'the whole concept of James Bond is drenched and born out of profound sexism' and added: 'Women have always been a major and incredibly important part of the Secret Service, they always have been.' In the forthcoming Thursday Murder Club film, the veteran actress plays a retired spy, who is also the founder and leader of the club. Speaking about her character Elizabeth, she told Saga: 'So many women have worked in that world. She's a manifestation of a reality, that's for sure.' Asked if she is a better portrayal of a spy than Bond, Dame Helen said: 'More realistic. But not so much fun as Bond!' She added: 'The great thing about a movie like this is that it reminds everyone, as an older person I have a brain, I have agency, energy, commitment, passion and intellect. It doesn't all stop when you're 40.' Brosnan said the movie, directed by Harry Potter director Chris Columbus, would also appeal to anyone who likes the film series about wizardry and added: 'This is like a Harry Potter retirement home.' The film, which lands on Netflix on August 28, follows a crime-busting group of retirees, played by Oscar-winning actress Dame Helen, Mamma Mia! star Brosnan, Calendar Girls actress Celia Imrie and Gandhi star Sir Ben Kingsley. You can read the full interview in Saga Magazine's September issue.
