David Beckham was knighted by King Charles at Windsor Castle in a ceremony that marked the former England captain's most proud moment. The 50-year-old wore a bespoke grey suit made by his wife, Victoria, Lady Beckham, who accompanied him to the event.
Speaking about the outfit, Beckham said he was inspired by the king himself, who is known for his elegant style. "He was quite impressed with my suit," Beckham recalled. "He's kind of the most elegantly dressed man that I know, so he definitely inspired this look." The suit was a nod to old pictures of the king in morning suits from when he was younger.
For Beckham, being knighted is an honor beyond his wildest dreams. He has felt emotional since being recognized by the king's birthday honours earlier this year and said that receiving a knighthood is "beyond anything I ever thought I'd receive."
The former footballer expressed his gratitude for being honored for his sporting career and philanthropic work, which he has been involved in since he was around 17 years old. Beckham credits the respect he's gained through his career as a powerful tool to make a difference in charity.
Beckham has supported various charitable causes over the years, including serving as a goodwill ambassador for Unicef since 2005. When asked about his motivations, the former footballer said that he does things out of love and not because he's forced or obligated to do so.
The ceremony at Windsor Castle marked a momentous occasion in Beckham's life, with many describing it as his proudest moment. The honor is a testament to Beckham's dedication to using his platform for good and making a positive impact on the world.
