David Beckham has officially become Sir David Beckham, receiving his knighthood from King Charles III during a ceremony at Windsor Castle. The soccer legend knelt before the King as his shoulders were tapped with the sword — a symbolic moment Beckham called “without doubt my proudest moment.” Beckham was honored for his services to sport and charity, recognizing not just his decorated soccer career but also his two decades of humanitarian work with UNICEF and efforts to fight malaria. The honor also caps years of public image rehabilitation after controversies earlier in his career.
