Victoria Beckham changes her name after husband Sir David’s knighthood

Victoria Beckham has adopted a new title after husband Sir David received his knighthood.

The former footballer, 50, was honoured by King Charles at Windsor Castle on Tuesday, receiving a knighthood for his outstanding contribution to sport and charity.

And while her husband celebrated becoming Sir David Beckham, Victoria also gained a new form of address.

In keeping with royal tradition, the fashion mogul and former Spice Girl is now entitled to call herself Lady Beckham – a courtesy title given to the wife of a man knighted as ‘Sir.’

Although using the title is optional, Victoria has reportedly chosen to embrace the new honour, according to the Mirror.

It is currently not known when she will use the title and her social media pages remain unchanged at the moment following Tuesday’s ceremony.

It comes as Victoria couldn’t hide her pride as she gushed over David after he received a knighthood.

The fashion designer said she had ‘never felt prouder’ of her husband and shared a snap of Sir David getting knighted at Windsor Castle.

Sharing several sweet snaps of the couple, she gushed: ‘David, from the moment I met you 28 years ago, you’ve always been so proud to represent your country.

‘Whether on or off the pitch, no one loves England or respects our Royal Family more, so to see you honoured by The King today is something I’ll forever cherish.

‘You’ve achieved so much, and yet you’re still the same kind, humble, hardworking man I met nearly 30 years ago, as well as the most amazing husband and father.

‘I’ve never felt prouder than I do today. Sir @davidbeckham, we all love you so much xxx’

Fans and famous pals flocked to the comment section to congratulate the former professional footballer on the huge honour.
