Cruz Beckham's Touching Tribute to His Father
Cruz Beckham, the 20-year-old son of football icon David Beckham, delivered a heartfelt musical performance for his father, celebrating his recent knighthood. The serenade took place during a lively lads' night out at a pub in the Cotswolds, following the formal ceremony at Windsor Castle.
Sir David Beckham received his knighthood from King Charles on November 4, 2025, an honour recognising his immense contributions to sport and charity, as part of the King's birthday honours list. The former England captain, 50, expressed his profound gratitude on social media, stating he was 'truly humbled' as a 'boy born in East London' to receive such a prestigious title.
A Night of Celebration in the Cotswolds
The celebrations for Sir David's new title extended into a private gathering filled with friends and family. He was joined by his celebrity pals, film director Guy Ritchie and former teammate Gary Neville, as well as his sons Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20.
It was during this festive evening that Cruz, an aspiring singer, took to the stage. He performed a custom song that included the memorable lyric: 'King Charles came to David Beckham and knighted him my man.' The performance ignited the room, with revellers enthusiastically chanting, 'We love you Sir David Beckham,' in a show of admiration and support.
An attendee described the scene to The Sun, noting the atmosphere was electric. 'It was really kicking off,' the partygoer said. 'When the dinner finished, Becks and his crew of blokes left the pub’s safari tent and filtered into the main adjoining pub for dancing and singing. Everyone was in high spirits.' The event was so vibrant that guests compared it to a New Year's Eve party.
Family Support and a Notable Absence
Sir David was supported throughout his knighthood journey by his wife, Lady Victoria, his parents Sandra and Ted, and his three youngest children: Romeo, Cruz, and 14-year-old daughter Harper. Earlier in the week, he also celebrated with close friend Gordon Ramsay at his flagship restaurant in Chelsea.
However, the festivities highlighted a conspicuous absence. David's eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, was not present at any of the celebrations, nor was he featured in the official family photograph taken at the Windsor Castle ceremony. Reports suggest Brooklyn has been estranged from his parents for several months and has yet to publicly acknowledge his father's knighthood.
This family moment, marked by both public joy and private complexity, underscores the personal significance of Sir David Beckham's recognition from the monarchy, cementing his legacy both on and off the field.
