Footballing legend David Beckham revealed that he was “more emotion than nerves” on his big day at Winsdor Castle with King Charles.
Sir David Beckham has revealed exactly what he was feeling when he was knighted by King Charles after years of waiting. The football icon, 50, was recognised at Windsor Castle by the King for his services to sport and charity.
His exciting news was made public over the summer, but he waited until Tuesday to get his moment. His wife, Lady Victoria, also attended the occasion, and she even donned her first-ever tailored menswear suit from her line of fashion.
David and Victoria’s children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, also made sure to be by their dad’s side for his big day. However, eldest son Brooklyn continued to distance himself from his famous family as he was nowhere to be seen.

Despite the pain it may have caused, David has opened up about his knighthood as he confessed it was a “very emotional day”. Revealing more about the big moment, an orchestral version of Golden from the hit Netflix series K-Pop Demon Hunters played in the background.
It is thought to have been a rather cheeky reference to Victoria’s frequently used nickname, “Goldenballs.” In all truth, David said, “Today was such an emotional day. I’m not talking about nerves.”
“There have been a few tears and a lot of emotion,” he added to the Sun. “It’s been a very special day.” David explained that his achievement is something that they can “all be proud of today as a family”.
Son Romeo gushed over David following the knighthood as he shared on social media: “No one deserves this more than you, love you so much xxx Congrats Sir dad.”
Victoria praised Cruz and the Windsor Castle family, while Cruz also shared photos of the family. Thankful for this occasion and for my incredible team who worked so hard to realize the vision.
In honor of his new initials, Sir David Beckham, David wore the first-ever tailored menswear piece from Victoria’s own fashion label, which featured sweet details, including a label with the date and SDB.
Brooklyn has chosen not to message a congratulatory message over the summer because he has chosen not to share the news of David’s knighthood. Instead, the aspiring chef quickly shared a post about pretzel pita chips on Instagram that caused a stir among the followers.
Brooklyn was “thrilled” for his dad, according to one source, who still favors keeping “no contact” with his family for the time being. David managed to exchange a few words with the King after the rumored conflict on his big day.
Lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling explained that David responded by telling him he was proud of himself and that David later revealed what he wanted to do with his career after that. King Charles praised Nicola’s speech while speaking on behalf of Betfair Slots, saying, “I am so proud of all you have done with your sports and charities. Amazing, you are beyond reproach. I’m pleased to knight you.
The King urged David to “do what you’re good at” when it had been a “great day.” David made it clear that he wanted to write a book at this point. If I’m honest, it’s been my greatest honor. I’ll write a book the following day. However, it has been incredible to be here today.
David described his outfit making by Victoria to the PA as “quite impressive.” He “inspires quite a few of my looks over the years, and he definitely inspired this look because he’s kind of the most elegantly dressed man I know.”
My wife made me do it, she said. When I looked at old photos of him wearing morning suits when he was still a young child, I thought, “OK, that’s what I want to wear,” so I gave it to my wife, and she did.
