Despite his close ties to the royal family, David Beckham has once again been overlooked for a knighthood. The New Year's Honours list saw former England manager Gareth Southgate awarded the honor, while Beckham's hopes remain unfulfilled. Past controversies and alleged comments about the honors committee appear to have played a role in his continued exclusion.
David Beckham has once again been overlooked for a knighthood despite his close ties to the royal family. While former England teammate Gareth Southgate was awarded the honor in the New Year's Honours list, Beckham's bid for a knighthood seems to have stalled. Beckham recently attended a state banquet hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla in honor of the Emir of Qatar, fueling speculation about a possible knighthood.
However, his past tax controversies and alleged disparaging remarks about the honors committee, including a leaked email criticizing Katherine Jenkins' OBE, have likely hindered his chances. Southgate, on the other hand, received the knighthood following England's impressive performance in the Euros, reaching the final in Germany and finishing as runners-up in Euro 2020.
