Beckham Kids Get No Perks from Dad's Knighthood

David Beckham has clarified that his knighthood, bestowed by King Charles III in November 2025, did not come with any additional privileges for his children. He humorously recounted telling his kids, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, that they already enjoyed all available benefits. This royal honor, which Beckham called one of the best days of his life apart from his children's births and his marriage, was celebrated by sons Romeo and Cruz. Beckham had previously received an OBE in 2021.

Victoria Beckham expressed profound pride in her husband's knighting, calling it a 'pinch me' moment and a testament to his achievements in sport and philanthropy. However, the family faces ongoing estrangement with their eldest son, Brooklyn. Brooklyn, who has had limited contact with his parents since his 2022 wedding, stated in January 2026 that he is standing up for himself and has found peace and relief by stepping away from his family. He and his wife desire a life free from image manipulation, seeking only peace, privacy, and happiness.

Despite David and Victoria Beckham publicly acknowledging Brooklyn's 27th birthday earlier in March 2026, sources indicate he has ignored their attempts at reconciliation, continuing to keep his distance.
