Sir David Beckham Honoured in King’s Birthday List Amid Family Silence
What a moment in history this is—David Beckham has officially been knighted. Yes, we can now say Sir David Beckham . For those of us who’ve followed his journey from a young lad in East London to becoming a footballing icon and global ambassador for both sport and charity, this honour feels not just well-deserved, but overdue. Beckham, now 50, was among more than 1,200 names in the King’s Birthday Honours list for 2025, joining celebrated figures like Gary Oldman, Roger Daltrey, and Elaine Paige.
David’s knighthood recognises his remarkable contributions to sport and charity, and you could see how deeply it moved him. He said it’s a “truly humbling” and “emotional moment,” and who can blame him? This is a man who captained England, brought pride to Manchester United and Real Madrid fans alike, and has spent years giving back through various philanthropic efforts.

And it wasn't just the nation beaming with pride—his sons Romeo and Cruz shared emotional tributes online. Romeo, 22, posted a heartwarming photo with his dad, writing, “So so proud of you,” with heart emojis. Cruz, 20, followed suit, sharing an image of Beckham in the woods with the touching caption, “I’m so proud dad, I love you. Sir David Beckham. Has a nice ring to it.” It’s exactly what you’d expect from two sons who clearly hold deep admiration for their father.
But the celebration wasn’t echoed across the entire Beckham family. Noticeably absent from the online tributes was Brooklyn, the eldest son. At 26, and often seen posting about his life with wife Nicola Peltz, Brooklyn has remained silent—no comment, no post, not even a birthday message to his dad, according to sources. And this comes on the heels of rumours about an ongoing family rift. Reports suggest that Brooklyn and his wife have distanced themselves from the family, missing several key events, including David’s milestone 50th birthday last month.
The speculation doesn’t stop there. There’s talk that tensions started when Brooklyn reportedly grew suspicious of Romeo’s relationship with Kim Turnbull, someone previously close to his circle. Whatever the cause, it’s clear this knighthood, as joyful and well-earned as it is, comes at a bittersweet time for the Beckham household.
David and Victoria are said to be heartbroken over the divide. While Sir David was all smiles in public, the silence from Brooklyn is loud—especially on such a significant day for the family. Still, the honour itself is monumental. From the football pitch to the palace, David Beckham’s journey continues to inspire millions.
Sir David Beckham—those words now carry history, pride, and a reminder that sometimes, even amid family complexities, greatness is still recognised.
