Sir David Beckham, the legendary former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder, has been officially knighted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle. This momentous occasion marks a significant milestone in his illustrious career and personal life. The world-renowned athlete, who has been a prominent figure in the football world for decades, has been recognized for his contributions to charity and his impact on the sport. As a result, his wife, Victoria Beckham, will now be known as Lady Victoria. The knighthood has been a long-held dream for David, and he expressed his emotions and pride in a recent interview. 'I cried when I first found out, and probably for a few months after it as well,' he shared. 'It's been an emotional journey, not stressful or nerve-wracking, just filled with joy. It's a big moment for my family, and it's truly special.' David's journey to this point began in the east of London, where he grew up in a humble background and dreamed of becoming a professional footballer. Now, he stands at Windsor Castle, a place of immense historical significance, alongside the world's most important monarchy. 'I grew up wanting to be a professional footballer, and now I'm here at Windsor Castle with the most important monarchy in the world, getting knighted,' he reflected. 'It doesn't get much better than that.' Beyond his football career, David has made significant contributions to charity. He has been dedicated to UNICEF since 2005 and has also worked with the King's Foundation as an ambassador, promoting environmental awareness among young people. His efforts have not only left a mark on the sports world but have also positively impacted the lives of many.
