David Beckham, the former England soccer captain who has been an ambassador for the U.N. children’s fund, is to receive a knighthood in next week’s honors list from King Charles III, according to U.K.

David Beckham is set to be awarded a knighthood in King Charles's annual birthday honors, which will be revealed next week. BBC Sport first reported the news, though a government spokesperson declined to comment on “speculation on honours.” After he is knighted, he will be Sir David, and his wife Victoria will become “Lady Victoria.”
