Bend it like Beckham! King knights footballing legend
November 05, 2025
|The Independent
Sir David Beckham has disclosed that the King inspired the suit he wore when he received his knighthood, an honour the football icon described as the “proudest moment” of his career.
The former England captain and Manchester United star was recognised for his services to sport and charity during a ceremony at Windsor Castle. His wife, Lady Victoria Beckham, who designed the grey suit, accompanied the 50-year-old to the event.
Recalling his interaction with Charles, Sir David told the PA news agency: “He was quite impressed with my suit. He’s kind of the most elegantly dressed man that I know, so he inspired quite a few of my looks over the years and he definitely inspired this look.
“It was something that my wife made me. I looked at old pictures of him when he was quite young in morning suits and I was like, OK, that’s what I want to wear, so I gave it to my wife and she did it.”
He said he has felt emotional over the knighthood since he was recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours earlier this year.
