David Beckham just got the sword tap from King Charles at Windsor Castle officially Sir David Beckham, honoured for services to sport and charity.
He’s 50, he called it the “proudest moment,” and yes, the grey suit was a Victoria special, inspired by the King’s legendary morning suits.
It’s the crowning chapter to a career that’s bent like one of his free-kicks: OBE in 2003, years of philanthropic graft (notably with UNICEF), and a wait that’s stretched more than a decade since his first knighthood nomination.
Today, the sword finally caught up with the legacy.
Seeing Becks at Windsor the East End kid turned global football icon felt like football history giving a standing ovation.
From England’s armband to inspiring generations, the man who made set pieces feel inevitable now wears a title that feels the same. Sir David. Perfect strike.
