One of the most brilliant figures in English football history, David Beckham, has now been officially knighted. According to the BBC, the 50-year-old former team captain was honored by King Charles III at a ceremony in Burkshire on November 4th.
This title was awarded to Beckham not only for his contributions to football but also to the development of British society. The King personally presented the title, and this moment was marked as a new page for sports figures in the country's history.
"I am very proud. I have always loved my homeland, and the monarchy has been very important for my family. I've traveled around the world, and everywhere people want to talk to me about the monarchy - it's a source of pride for me," Beckham said after the ceremony.
Despite Beckham's retirement from football in 2013, his name still holds a high position in the sports world. He played for Manchester United, Real Madrid, PSG, AC Milan and Los Angeles Galaxy, winning the English, Spanish and French championships.
