Victoria Beckham has officially adopted a new title after her husband, David, was officially knighted by King Charles.
On Tuesday (November 4), the 50-year-old former soccer star was honored for his outstanding contributions to both sport and years of philanthropic work.
He was accompanied by his wife, Victoria, with whom he shares four children, and his parents, Sandra and David.

A Courtesy Title for Victoria
As the wife of a newly knighted man, the 51-year-old Spice Girl automatically receives the courtesy title of "Lady", a distinction that is optional for her to use.
According to reports from The Mirror, the 'Spice Up Your Life' musician has decided to embrace the title, making her Lady Beckham, although her social media name remains unchanged for now.
However, her heartfelt message following the ceremony on Instagram made it clear just how proud she is of her husband’s achievements.
Sharing a series of pictures from the ceremony, the mom-of-four expressed that she had “never felt prouder” of her husband of 26 years.
"Whether on or off the pitch, no one loves England or respects our Royal Family more, so to see you honoured by The King today is something I’ll forever cherish," she penned. "You’ve achieved so much, and yet you’re still the same kind, humble, hardworking man I met nearly 30 years ago, as well as the most amazing husband and father."
"I’ve never felt prouder than I do today. Sir @davidbeckham, we all love you so much xxx" she added.
David's Heartwarming Post
The former Manchester United star also shared a post celebrating his knighthood and expressed gratitude to the monarchy for acknowledging his humanitarian work.
"I can't even begin to describe what a special day it is for me today, a boy born in East London, to receive a Knighthood from His Majesty The King. I am truly humbled and so grateful for this honour," he wrote.
"I have been fortunate to represent our country and I've always done that with pride... I love our Royal Family and what it means to people, not just in Great Britain but around the world. I could never have dreamed that this would happen to me," he continued. "Football gave me everything, and it also allowed me to travel from a young age. Travel opened my eyes to issues facing children around the world."
He thanked his parents and grandparents for "instilling the right values of hard work and respect," his wife, "who has been by [his] side for the last 28 years," and his "beautiful children," who are his "greatest joy in life".

David’s Custom Suit Inspired by King Charles
In a brief interview at Windsor Castle, David revealed that the King was impressed by his suit for the occasion.
“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," he said, per Metro.
David wore a three-piece custom morning suit, the first-ever menswear design by Victoria Beckham. The suit was made from a British wool mohair blend in a deep charcoal grey, with a sharply tailored lapel, creating a refined and sophisticated look for the event.
Victoria, for her part, wore a custom version of her brand’s signature Bela dress in a rich navy hue with an elongated asymmetric hem.
