David Beckham was finally given the distinction he lost in 2013 due to tax evation allegations.
David Beckham has been knighted by King Charles III on Tuesday, alongside Kazuo Ishiguro, Japanese-British author, Literature Nobel in 2017, and Broadway actress and singer Elaine Page. The ceremony took place at Windsor Castle, and the footballer, a legend for Manchester United, Real Madrid and Los Angeles Galaxy (and PSG, where he retired after playing only four months in 2013), is now known as Sir David Robert Joseph Beckham.
Beckham has been a monarchist all his life (famously queing 12 hours to pay her final respects to Queen Elizabeth II in 2022) and came close of being awarded knighthood in 2013, but was denied to his involvement in a tax avoidance scheme.
