About this listen
David Beckham has commanded headlines this week in both the worlds of sport and celebrity. The most significant headline is now official: Beckham was knighted by King Charles III, becoming Sir David Beckham, as featured in the King’s Birthday Honours List for 2025. The honour, long speculated and much deserved, marks a historic milestone for the football icon with enduring influence in sport and philanthropy. Beckham himself addressed the emotional impact of the knighthood in a televised interview this week, confessing it was a very special and emotional week for both himself and his family, underscoring that the achievement was shared with his loved ones, not just for him alone. Cameras caught Beckham appearing teary-eyed discussing the knighthood at the opening match of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, reinforcing just how meaningful the recognition was.
Off the pitch, Beckham continued to dominate social media. On Father’s Day, he posted a heartfelt Instagram carousel featuring his children, including eldest son Brooklyn. The move was interpreted by many as an olive branch amid rumors of a family feud, as he publicly expressed pride in his children and gratitude to his wife, Victoria, for making him a father, drawing significant media attention and fan praise for prioritizing family despite public challenges. Just days earlier, Beckham also shared candid images of a lunch with his mother, revealing she was moved to tears, suggesting the depth of emotion in his family as they processed the knighthood news.
Business hasn’t taken a backseat either. Beckham launched BEEUP, a honey-powered snack brand targeted at active kids and families, signaling he’s extending his commercial ventures beyond football and fashion. This development, publicized on his official site, affirms his trendsetting presence in wellness and lifestyle sectors. His role as co-owner of Inter Miami CF also kept him in the spotlight as the team prepared for the FIFA Club World Cup, with Beckham seen supporting from the stands and giving interviews about the challenges and rewards of club ownership.
Lastly, while no fresh controversy emerged, media revisited Beckham’s recent comments on the perils of social media, particularly regarding the effect of online bullying on his children, further grounding his image as a protective and thoughtful father. All told, this week crowned Beckham not only as a global sports and style icon, but as a knighted statesman for family, entrepreneurship, and public service.
