Sir David shared an interesting conversation with his children when he was knighted by King Charles.
The president and co-owner of Inter Miami CF, Sir David Beckham, 50, shares sons Brooklyn, 27 – from whom he is estranged – Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, and daughter Harper, 14, with his wife, Victoria, 51.
David Beckham, one of Britain’s most famous footballers, was knighted by King Charles at Windsor Castle in November in recognition of his decades-long contribution to sport and charity.
The 50-year-old former England football captain received the honor at the royal residence, more than 20 years after he was awarded a separate royal honor recognizing his contribution to football.
In particular, his influence on football over a period of twenty years and subsequent ambassadorial role with UNICEF.
Now David has revealed that his children hoped they would also benefit from his knighthood.
Speaking on talkSPORT Drive with Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent on Friday, David said his children asked if they would get ‘more privileges’ when he became Sir.
Asked what changed in his life after he was knighted, David said: ‘The only thing that changed was my stationery that I send out to people, thank you notes. That’s the only thing that has really changed.
“My children turned to me and said: “Dad, do we get some privileges such as more?” I know that’s what I told them.
“I was like, ‘well, apart from the ones you already have, absolutely not’.’
He added: ‘It was one of the best… probably the best day of my life, you know, apart from of course when my children were born and when I got married.’
