David Beckham’s wife Victoria Beckham will get a new title – as the former footballer receives a knighthood. David has been ‘snubbed’ from receiving a knighthood for multiple years but it has now been revealed he will receive one in the King’s Birthday Honours list.
Next week, it is expected to be revealed that David will become a ‘Sir’ – just months after it was revealed that David allegedly launched into an angry rant about the perceived snub, branding the committee a ‘bunch of c***s’ and the honours system a “f**king joke”. He apparently wrote: “I expected nothing less… Who decides on the honours? It’s a disgrace to be honest and if I was American I would of got something like this 10 years ago… It’s p***ed me off those old unappreciative c***s.”
At the time, Beckham’s representative slammed the reports, accusing them of being misleading and based on manipulated content. They said: “This story is based on outdated material taken out of context from hacked and doctored private emails from a third-party server and gives a deliberately inaccurate picture.”

A close pal of Beckham later spoke to The Mirror about the incident, revealing that although Beckham regretted the messages, they were sent “in the heat of the moment”. The friend had said: “Genuinely, he wasn’t as vitriolic as that, but you do say some things in private and in the heat of the moment. To be honest, he does feel that he has given so much to his country. And sometimes you say things in private that anyone would say and you don’t really mean it. While he was frustrated in those emails, he was over it the moment he sent them. Getting the knighthood is not what his work is about. He doesn’t care if he gets a knighthood or not.”
With the news of a knighthood finally being given to David, it has also been revealed that Victoria will now be known as ‘Lady Beckham’ amid a huge family feud. Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have been locked in a rift with his parents.

One source told us that Romeo’s recent split from his girlfriend Kim would not change anything for the Beckhams. here are no signs of reconciliation, sadly. There is still a lot of hurt to process,” the source said.
Sources close to Nicola previously insisted that as “an outsider coming into the Beckham family, she has helped Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within”. The claims – described as “patently untrue and ludicrous” by friends of David and Victoria – were the “nail in the coffin” of any future relationship, sources claim.
“It was a low, low blow…how can you say such things about your own family. It will be interesting to see if Brooklyn and Nicola make any attempt to heal things now Kim is out of the picture,” one source told us.
