David Beckham set to be knighted by King Charles, son Brooklyn and wife kept in the dark

The former soccer star seems to be all set to be awarded a knighthood by King Charles on Friday, as part of his annual birthday honors list in London. 

Beckham was originally considered for a knighthood after helping bring the 2012 Olympics to London. His nomination was, however, cancelled due to a tax fraud scandal, of which he was later cleared.

Beckham is considered to be one of the most legendary figures of soccer with over 100 England caps, six years of captaincy, and much more.

According to sources, son Brookyn and his wife Nicola were kept in the dark about the much-anticipated news.

The couple mentioned that they only found out the news through the media. However, a tipster mentioned that son Brooklyn is extremely happy about his dad as he is aware of its importance. 

Once knighted, Victoria Beckham will officially earn the title of ‘Lady Beckham’, a nod to her original Posh Spice persona. She received her own OBE in 2017 from Prince William, recognizing her achievements in fashion and philanthropy.

“This is an absolute nightmare for Victoria and David. It's put them in an incredibly awkward position, especially given how close they are to Prince William and Kate Middleton. And of course, as everyone knows, there’s a lot of bad blood between Victoria and Meghan, so this is just a huge slap in the face, and it’s being seen as a major family betrayal," an insider told Life & Style.

The source continued, “As much as they’d like to read Brooklyn the riot act, they’re a bit hamstrung when it comes to how much they can say because they know it could be filtered back to Megan, but they’re both absolutely furious. Victoria is blaming Nicola and is convinced she’s behind this and is actually willing to let Brooklyn off the hook a little. But David isn’t being nearly so soft, he says, Brooklyn knows exactly what he's doing and doesn’t deserve any sort of leniency.”
