上週,人們普遍預計 50 歲的貝克漢姆將被授予爵士頭銜,而這一猜測似乎是基於他上個月在切爾西花展上與英國女王的對話。

Former England soccer captain David Beckham, Oscar-winning actor Gary Oldman, and The Who’s frontman Roger Daltrey were knighted in King Charles III’s birthday honors list. Elaine Paige, the renowned musicals singer, Booker Prize-winning novelist Pat Barker, and former Conservative government minister Penny Mordaunt were given damehoods, the female equivalent of a knighthood.

The honors, which aim to reward individuals for their contributions to British life, are awarded twice a year to celebrities and public figures as well as ordinary people: Once at New Year’s, and then in June to mark the king’s birthday.

The winners are chosen by civil servants’ committees based on nominations from the government and the public. The awards are usually given out by the king or a senior royal acting in his place at Buckingham Palace.

Beckham, 50, was widely expected to be knighted following speculation last week that appeared to be based on a conversation he had with the monarch at the Chelsea Flower Show last month.

As well as representing England 115 times, including 59 times as captain, Beckham played for some of Europe’s most venerable clubs, most notably Manchester United and Real Madrid.

He has been knighted for his services to sport and to charity, having partnered with UNICEF, the U.N.'s children’s fund, for two decades and campaigned with a charity working to eradicate malaria. Beckham also played a pivotal role in London being awarded the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

Daltrey, who co-founded The Who in 1964, has been recognized for services to charity as well as music, having been a patron of “Teenage Cancer Trust” since 2000.
