Sir David Beckham has shared an adorable post by his son Romeo, 22, congratulating him on receiving a knighthood – while Cruz and Brooklyn are yet to publicly break their silence
Romeo Beckham has shared a sweet four-word message to his dad after it has been announced in the King’s Birthday Honours List that David Beckham is set to receive a knighthood.
Gone are the days Victoria will be nicknamed Posh, and she really has lived up to the moniker as Victoria, who received an OBE in 2017, also receives a new title with David’s honour, and she will now be known as Lady Victoria Beckham.
Each of the Beckham children are also famous, having grown up in front of the gaze of millions of fans. Although they have earned their own status’ within the world of showbiz, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Beckham won’t get any royal recognition due to their dad’s new title.

Taking to Instagram in the early hours of Saturday, June 14 Romeo shared a black and white image of him and his dad with the words “So proud of you”. David then shared it to his stories. Brooklyn and Cruz are yet to publicly congratulate their dad.
The news comes as the family have been locked in a feud with eldest son Brooklyn, 26. Things came to a head when Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz skipped David’s 50th birthday celebrations as the drama has reportedly resulted in the couple cutting contact with the famous family.
Sir David said in a statement to the PA news agency: “Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour.
“To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career and literally a boyhood dream come true. Off the pitch I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to represent Britain around the world and work with incredible organisations that are supporting communities in need and inspiring the next generation.
“I’m so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I’m grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment. It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I’m immensely proud and it’s such an emotional moment for me to share with my family.”
Like every person who has received a knighthood, Sir David will be treated to an official ceremony. The ceremony, which often happens at Buckingham Palace, will see David kneel in front of a monarch – which can be either the King or another member of the Royal Family such as Princess Anne or Prince William – who will then touch the recipient’s shoulder with a sword.
