David Beckham response speaks volumes after Royal snub and new Rebecca Loos claims
David Beckham has looked back on an eventful year which saw a Netflix documentary come out about his life and his wealth grow, but ended with a few negative stories
David Beckham has reflected on an “unforgettable” year in a social media post which focuses on his family after missing out on a knighthood.
Beckham was once again not included in the end-of-year honours list, which was headlined by a knighthood for former England manager Gareth Southgate. It comes more than seven years after shocking emails were leaked in 2017 which showed Beckham branding the honours committee “unappreciative c***s” while claiming he “didn’t care about being knighted”.
The 49-year-old former England captain, who does have an OBE to his name, has claimed some of the leaked emails had been doctored. Nevertheless, the scandal appears to have harmed his chances of becoming a Sir.
Unsurprisingly, there was no mention of his disappointment in an Instagram post he published to look back on 2024. It included pictures of Beckham with his wife Victoria and their children Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, as well as a touching final picture of him chatting to his former England manager, Sven Goran Eriksson, who passed away in 2024 from cancer.
As the caption, he wrote: “Happy New Year from myself, my wife and my amazing kids… Thank you for [an] unforgettable year and I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy 2025. Love David x.”
