David Beckham has been honored as a knight by King Charles III as part of his annual birthday honors list. The Inter Miami soccer team co-owner, 50, received the recognition for his dedication to his country, work, and family.
The news comes amid a reported rift between David and his eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, and his wife Nicola Peltz. Sources claim that Brooklyn is “happy” about his father’s achievement but has not been in contact with him for some time. The couple reportedly skipped out on David’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year.
Romeo Beckham, David’s younger son, took to Instagram to express his pride over his father’s knighthood. He shared a photo of himself and his father smiling together, captioning it “so so proud of you”. Victoria Beckham, Romeo’s mother, also posted a heartfelt message praising her husband, saying she couldn’t be prouder.
The family feud appears to have been fueled by reports that Brooklyn had a romantic connection with London-based DJ Kim Turnbull. However, sources claim this is not true. The rift has led to no contact between the couple and the rest of the family.
David’s knighthood was a surprise to his family members, who received news through the media. A source close to the couple confirmed that Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact with him and is not responding to those trying to connect. The focus is now on David Beckham’s great honor, which has brought the family together for the time being.
