Victoria Beckham officially changes her name after ‘embracing’ new title

Victoria Beckham, once Posh Spice and now a bona fide fashion mogul, has quietly acquired yet another title following her husband’s knighthood: Lady Beckham.

When Sir David Beckham was knighted by King Charles at Windsor Castle this week for his contributions to sport and charity, the moment wasn’t just a personal milestone for the former England captain.

It also crowned one of Britain’s most enduring power couples with a new layer of prestige.

While the courtesy title ‘Lady’ is automatically granted to the wife of a newly knighted man, it’s up to the individual whether to use it, and according to reports from The Mirror, Victoria plans to embrace the moniker.

Her social media name remains unchanged for now, but her message on Instagram following the ceremony made it clear just how proud she is of her husband.

Sharing a series of photos from Windsor, the designer wrote that she had ‘never felt prouder’ of David.

She wrote: ‘Whether on or off the pitch, no one loves England or respects our Royal Family more, so to see you honoured by The King today is something I’ll forever cherish.

‘You’ve achieved so much, and yet you’re still the same kind, humble, hardworking man I met nearly 30 years ago, as well as the most amazing husband and father.

‘I’ve never felt prouder than I do today. Sir @davidbeckham, we all love you so much xxx’

Plenty of famous friends flocked to the comments to celebrate the achievement, with actress Hannah Waddingham commenting: ‘This is MMMMMMMAGIC @davidbeckham beaming over here watching from afar. Congratulations.’

Mo Farah wrote: ‘Proud of you as always, mate!

Additional pictures shared by Romeo, the second eldest, revealed that the family dressed to the nines and posed for some snaps in one of the ornate castle reception rooms.

‘No one deserves this more than you, love you so much xxx
Congrats Sir dad 😂 @davidbeckham,’ Romeo captioned the post.

Notably absent was Brooklyn Sir David’s eldest son, who has reportedly been in a feud with his parents for many months.

In an interview at the castle, David revealed what the King thought of his look for the day.

‘He was quite impressed with my suit,’ David told the PA at the event.

‘He’s kind of the most elegantly dressed man that I know, so he inspired quite a few of my looks over the years, and he definitely inspired this look.

‘It was something that my wife made me.

‘I looked at old pictures of him when he was quite young in morning suits and I was like, “OK, that’s what I want to wear,” so I gave it to my wife and she did it.’

David wore a three-piece custom morning suit, the first ever tailored menswear piece from Victoria Beckham.

The suit is crafted from a distinguished British wool mohair blend in a deep charcoal grey, featuring a sharply tailored lapel.

Victoria wore a custom version of the brand’s iconic Bela dress, featuring an elongated asymmetric hem and made in a beautifully textured, rich navy.

Oh, and that’s Lady Beckham, to you.
