Sir David Beckham has described being knighted by King Charles during a ceremony at Windsor Castle as his proudest moment.

The former Manchester United and England star was accompanied by his wife now known as Lady Beckham and his parents, Ted and Sandra, as he was honoured for his services to sport and charity.

50-year-old Sir David, was dressed in a grey three piece suit made by his fashion designer wife, which was inspired by a suit King Charles wore when he was younger.

The footballer says King Charles was quite impressed with his suit.

He says King Charles is the most elegantly dressed man that he knows, so he inspired quite a few of his looks over the years and he definitely inspired this look.

Speaking of his honour, Sir David says he couldn't be prouder and people know how patriotic he is and he loves his country.

Sir David says he always said how important the monarchy is to his family.

Sir David played 115 times for his country as well as for Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, Paris St-Germain and AC Milan, retiring in 2013.

He also played a key role in securing the London 2012 Olympics, and has been an ambassador for UNICEF since 2005.

Sir David became an ambassador for The King's Foundation in 2024, supporting King Charles' education programme and efforts to ensure young people have a greater understanding of nature.
