Victoria Beckham, who has now officially become Lady Victoria Beckham, has shared a gushing tribute to her husband Sir David Beckham after it was announced he is set to be knighted
The new Lady Victoria Beckham – yes, you read that correctly – has shared a gushing tribute to her husband; now known as Sir David Beckham, after it was announced he will be knighted.
Football star Sir David’s knighthood was finally confirmed last night as the King’s Birthday Honours list was released. It comes after the news was leaked a week before the official announcement made – a move which could have jeopardised the 50 year old’s much longed for title, the Mirror exclusively revealed last week.
Luckily for Sir David, the leak hasn’t prevented him from getting the title he has wished for for a number of years as the news was confirmed in the King’s Birthday Honours List, which was released last night. Sir Beckham is receiving the knighthood for his services to sport and charity, it has been announced.
And, following the exciting news, David’s loyal and loving wife Victoria, 51, showered her Goldenballs hubby with praise. Victoria took to Instagram to share a gushing message about David, alongside a sweet photo of her planting a sweet kiss on his cheek, in the caption she penned: “You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official. Sir @davidbeckham!!!
“What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most — your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family — has never wavered.
“The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. But above all else, I’m so, so proud to call you mine.I love you so much xxxx”.
The joyous news comes at a turbulent time for the matriarch and patriarch of the Beckham clan as bubbling tensions between the parents and their eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham have reached a boiling point.
Rumours of a fallout between Brooklyn and his parents first begun earlier this year, when his absence at his mother Victoria’s 51st birthday celebrations became apparent – along with him failing to acknowledge her birthday with his usual social media tribute.
It was later reported that Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, had fallen out with the Beckhams over Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnball, from whom he’s since split. A source told the Mirror: “They split a few weeks ago and it’s all amicable and they are still friends.”
Despite Romeo and Kim’s amicable split, Brooklyn and Nicola are still, allegedly, not on talking terms with the Beckham clan – with some claiming their fallout is mirroring that of the fallout between Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and the Royal Family.
And, while David has been growing close to King Charles, 76, of late – with David at a Royal event alongside the King just one day before his knighthood was announced – Brooklyn and Nicola are said to be forming a bond with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
It has been claimed Meghan and and Nicola found “common ground” after being painted as the villain in the family feuds. Ingrid Seward, Editor-in-Chief of Majesty Magazine, highlighted the similarities in the feuds.
“It’s also rather fascinating that the Beckham’s son, Brooklyn, who was their firstborn, has sort of sided with his wife against the family. In a way, you know, we’re looking at Harry, who was not firstborn, but sided with Meghan against the family,” she said to The Sun.
However, the young celebrity couple have been warned against the move as experts cautioned the couple about the potential ‘damage’ if they isolated themselves from the family in a similar manner to the Sussexes.
