Victoria Beckham will ‘forever cherish’ seeing husband David Beckham receiving knighthood
The 50-year-old former England football captain was knighted by King Charles during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle on Tuesday (04.11.25) for his “services to sport and charity”.
Victoria, 51, was in attendance to support her significant other, and praised him as “the same kind, humble, hardworking man” she met 30 years ago.
She wrote on Instagram: “David, from the moment I met you 28 years ago, you’ve always been so proud to represent your country. Whether on or off the pitch, no one loves England or respects our Royal Family more, so to see you honoured by The King today is something I’ll forever cherish.
“You’ve achieved so much, and yet you’re still the same kind, humble, hardworking man I met nearly 30 years ago, as well as the most amazing husband and father.”
Victoria admitted she has “never felt prouder” of David – who she married in 1999 and has sons Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 14, with – than she did on the day he was knighted.
She added: “I’ve never felt prouder than I do today. Sir @davidbeckham, we all love you so much xxx (sic)”
The ceremony was also a special moment for Victoria’s fashion brand, because David wore the first bespoke menswear piece designed by her label, a custom charcoal-grey morning suit, to receive the honour.
And the suit had a royal seal of approval.
Afterwards, the former Manchester United player said of the king: “He was quite impressed with my suit.
“He’s kind of the most elegantly dressed man that I know, so he inspired quite a few of my looks over the years, and he definitely inspired this look.”
Speaking about his outfit’s design process, he said: “It was something that my wife made me.
“I looked at old pictures of him when he was quite young in morning suits and I was like, ‘OK, that’s what I want to wear,’ so I gave it to my wife and she did it.”
