Lady Victoria Beckham has finally addressed her new title just weeks after her footballing icon husband David was officially made a Sir by King Charles
Victoria Beckham OBE has finally called herself “Lady Beckham”. The Spice Girls icon has a new title to use after her husband David was knighted by King Charles last month.
After being made a Sir, Victoria, who turned her back on singing to focus on her fashion brand, also received a new title. As David now goes by Sir, his wife is also entitled to be styled Lady Beckham. Until now, Victoria, 51, has remained tight-lipped and hasn’t used her title publicly.
But during an appearance on What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she was asked by the host about how she should be addressed. Speaking to the former singer, Andy said: “Victoria, clear this up for me, if you will. David Beckham, your husband – smokeshow – is now a knight, which means he is Sir David Beckham.”
“He is,” replied Victoria. Broadcaster Andy added: “And you are, Lady Victoria?” Confirming her title, Posh Spice said: “I am Lady Beckham.” But when asked if she could be known as Lady Posh – a nod to her Spice Girls persona, she joked: “Listen, whatever you want – whatever you want, anything for you.”
While the title Lady is automatically granted to the wife of a knight, it’s up to the person whether they decide to use it. So far, Victoria hasn’t changed any of her social media profiles to reflect her status.
Sir David was honoured by the King at Windsor Castle last month as his wife, Lady Victoria, and his parents, Sandra and Ted, watched on in awe during the emotional moment. Just hours later, the Beckham family celebrated with their children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, with David joking they could call him “Sir Dad”.
Shortly after the ceremony, the family headed out to a reception hosted by pal Gordon Ramsay. However, their eldest son, Brooklyn, was once again noticeably absent from the events. In recent years, the family and Brooklyn have endured a strained relationship.
Celebrating her husband on the day, Lady Victoria said: “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.
“I’ve never felt prouder than I do today. Sir @davidbeckham, we all love you so much.” David and Victoria’s famous friends instantly rushed to offer their congratulations. Kris Jenner penned on Instagram: “Congratulations!!!” Actress Gemma Oaten added: “Beautiful and so deserved. Keep leading the way you power couple – but more than that – you kind, good-hearted humans.”
“So well deserved!! Congratulations,” said Donatella Versace. David said his knighthood was the “proudest moment” of his career, 30 years after he made his debut for Manchester United. Over the years, he’s backed a string of charity causes, as well as being a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF since 2005. Just last year, he was named as an ambassador of The King’s Foundation, an educational charity launched by Charles in 1990.
Speaking at Windsor Castle, he said: “All the things that I do, I do out of love. I don’t do it because I’m forced to do it, I don’t do it because I have to do it, I do it because it’s important, because I think there’ll always be something to do. I do believe that my work will never stop. I enjoy work. I got brought up with the right values to have respect for people and that will continue.”
