David Beckham to receive Knighthood from King Charles
June 6 (UPI) -- Soccer icon David Beckham will be awarded knighthood next week as part of King Charles' birthday festivities. Sources told the BBC, Sky Sports and The Times about the plan Thursday night. Beckham, 50, will take on the title of Sir, while his wife, Victoria Beckham, will be known as Lady Beckham. Beckham, who has long served as an ambassador for the King's Foundation and UNICEF, was first nominated for knighthood in 2011. The Inter Miami co-owner, who retired from soccer in 2013, was appointed as an OBE -- Order of the British Empire -- in 2003. Beckham appeared in 115 games for the England men's national team. He was captain during 59 of those appearances. He is the only English men's player to score at three different World Cups. Beckham also won six Premier League crowns while at Manchester United before starring at Real Madrid and moving to the MLS to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy. He later spent time with AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain. King Charles, 76, was born Nov. 14, 1948, but will celebrate his official birthday at June's traditional Trooping the Color ceremony.

When We Can Expect to See Kate Middleton, Prince William, and Their Kids on the Buckingham Palace Balcony Next
Prince William and Kate Middleton's next Buckingham Palace balcony appearance seems to have been confirmed. The Mirror reported that King Charles will be joined by William, Kate, their three kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, Queen Camilla, and other royal family members to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day on May 5. It will be part of four days of commemorations marking the end of World War II in Europe, and the flypast will be undertaken by current and historic aircraft, including the Red Arrows, which have flown over Buckingham Palace during Trooping the Color in the past. The appearance will come just three days after Charlotte, the Prince and Princess of Wales' only daughter, turns the milestone age of 10 on May 2. Princess Anne and her husband, Sir Tim Laurence, are also expected to attend, as is Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. 'His Majesty is dedicated to bring his family and the country together in honor of Britain's war dead and recreate the sense of community that came with the celebrations to mark VE Day,' a source told The Mirror. 'The four days of commemorations will be a fantastic opportunity for the country to unite for such a special occasion, 80 years after victory was declared in Europe.' The four days of commemorations will pay tribute to the millions across the U.K. and Commonwealth who served in World War II, and the royal family's Buckingham Palace balcony appearance will happen just ahead of the actual anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE Day), which happened on May 8, 1945. Per The Mirror, further commemorations are expected in the summer for VJ Day (Victory Over Japan), which took place on August 15, 1945. Even before that, the Wales family of five will likely take part in June's Trooping the Colour, which marks the public birthday celebrations of King Charles. Read the original article on InStyle
