David Beckham received a honorary title at Windsor Castle on the weekday. The ex-national team leader, fifty, was among those receiving awards for his services to athletics and charity. Earlier this year, he expressed he was “extremely honored” of being recognised in the King’s birthday honours.

Soccer Achievements

The player first appeared in England's top division for Manchester United in the mid-nineties and was part of the team that secured a thrilling European Cup win in 1999 when they beat the German giants with last-minute strikes.

In total, he scored 85 goals and garnered accolades including six Premier League titles and two FA Cups as a footballer, before ending his playing career in 2013. In addition to his sports endeavors, he has supported a number of charity causes, including acting as a goodwill ambassador for humanitarian aid organisation Unicef since 2005.

Philanthropy and Beyond

Last year, Beckham, who has described himself as a “huge royalist”, was appointed an official representative for the King’s Foundation, an non-profit organization founded by the King in 1990. In the late nineties he was named top fashion icon by GQ magazine and he has modelled for brands like H&M, Armani, and the luxury label.

David married his wife Victoria in 1999 and the couple have a family of four kids together – their eldest, Romeo, the third child, and their daughter.
