**Sir David Beckham Celebrates Knighthood with Family Bash in the Cotswolds**
Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham brought their knighthood celebrations to the Cotswolds this weekend, marking the occasion with an intimate party at a local pub. The former footballer, 50, was recently honoured with a knighthood by King Charles at Windsor Castle, a milestone he celebrated first with a dinner at chef Gordon Ramsay’s Chelsea restaurant, and then with another festive gathering near his countryside retreat.
**A Night to Remember at The Bull in Charlbury**
David Beckham took over The Bull in Charlbury for the weekend festivities, surrounding himself with friends and family as they partied into the early hours. Attendees at the Cotswolds bash included his wife Victoria, 51, and sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20. However, their eldest son, Brooklyn, 26, was notably absent.
One of the night’s highlights was a heartwarming performance by Cruz, who serenaded his father with a specially written song. The lyrics featured the line: “King Charles came to David Beckham and knighted him my man.” According to reports from The Sun, guests described the atmosphere as “really kicking off,” with revelers enjoying dinner in an outdoor tent before moving indoors for dancing and singing.
Locals noted the high spirits as David mingled, sang along to loud music, and celebrated with guests, making for a lively and memorable evening.
**The Knighthood Ceremony at Windsor Castle**
Earlier in the week, on Tuesday, David and Victoria were joined by the footballer’s parents, Ted and Sandra, at Windsor Castle, where he received his knighthood for services to sport and charity. The recognition came after a 14-year wait—David was first put forward for the honour in 2011. The Royal Family’s official Instagram page shared a video of the ceremony with the caption:
> “Arise, Sir David Beckham. This morning at Windsor Castle, the King presented Sir David Beckham with a Knighthood for Services to Sport and to Charity.”
David himself shared a heartfelt message with a photo of the moment he knelt before the King:
> “I can’t even begin to describe what a special day it is for me today, a boy born in East London, to receive a Knighthood from His Majesty The King. I am truly humbled and so grateful for this honour. I have been fortunate to represent our country and I’ve always done that with pride. I love our Royal Family and what it means to people not just in Great Britain but around the world.”
He finished by thanking his family, adding, “Finally, Mum, Dad, Victoria and to my Kiddies, can you believe this? I love you all so much, and Thank You.”
**Brooklyn Beckham’s Absence from the Celebrations**
Conspicuously missing from both the Windsor Castle ceremony and the Cotswolds festivities was Brooklyn Beckham. The 26-year-old, who is married to American actress Nicola Peltz, 30, has reportedly been embroiled in an ongoing rift with his family since his wedding in May 2022. Sources suggest the situation has worsened over the years, with Brooklyn opting out of various Beckham family engagements.
Following the announcement of his father’s knighthood, Brooklyn remained silent on social media, while his siblings posted congratulatory messages online. His absence was particularly noted as David and Victoria celebrated with their other children—Romeo, Cruz, and 14-year-old Harper Seven.
