David Beckham received a honorary title at the historic royal residence on Tuesday. The former England captain, fifty, was among those receiving awards for his contributions to athletics and charity. In recent months, he stated he was “immensely proud” of being acknowledged in the monarch's annual honors list.
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 the late nineties when they beat Bayern Munich with two late goals.
Overall, he netted eighty-five scores and collected honours including six Premier League titles and domestic cup wins as a soccer professional, before ending his playing career in 2013. In addition to his sports endeavors, he has supported a variety of philanthropic initiatives, including acting as a goodwill ambassador for global aid group the United Nations Children's Fund since 2005.

In the previous year, the sports star, who has described himself as a “huge royalist”, was named an ambassador for the royal educational charity, an educational charity founded by the monarch in 1990. In the late nineties he was named most stylish man of the year by a leading publication and he has posed for brands like the fashion retailer, Armani, and the luxury label.
Beckham tied the knot with Victoria in 1999 and the pair have a family of four kids together – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and their daughter.
