Victoria Beckham couldn’t hide her pride as she gushed over her husband David after he received a knighthood from King Charles on Tuesday.
The fashion designer, 51, said she had ‘never felt prouder’ of her husband, 50, and shared a snap of Sir David getting knighted at Windsor Castle for his services to sport and charity.
Sharing several sweet snaps of the couple, she gushed: ‘David, from the moment I met you 28 years ago, you’ve always been so proud to represent your country.
‘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’

Fans and famous pals flocked to the comment section to congratulate the former professional footballer on the huge honour.
Kris Jenner wrote: ‘Congratulations!!!!! ❤️’ while Richard E. Grant applauded the star with several clapping hands emojis.
Hannah Waddingham commented: ‘This is MMMMMMMAGIC @davidbeckham beaming over here watching from afar. Congratulations.’
Mo Farah wrote: ‘Proud of you as always, mate!’
After 25 trophies, 115 England caps, five international tournaments and countless priceless goals, David added to his accolades when he received the one medal that famously eluded him during a trophy-laden 21-year career and beyond.
The King and his new knight, who have struck up a heartwarming friendship in recent years over their shared love of gardening and bees, smiled, shook hands and chatted briefly during the moving investiture ceremony.
Speaking afterwards, Sir David admitted he had been emotional as he received his greatest honour – and revealed that Charles had complimented him on the suit Victoria had designed and made for him as a gift.
‘I’ve been very obviously lucky in my career to have won what I’ve won and done what I’ve done, but to receive an honour like this, of a knight, is beyond anything that I ever thought that I would receive’, he said.

‘To be honest, a young boy from the East End of London, born in Leytonstone, and here at Windsor Castle, being honoured by His Majesty the King – the most important and the most respected institution in the world – it’s quite a moment. This is without doubt my proudest moment.’
His knighthood marks a pivotal and personally important moment for one of England’s greatest ever footballers.
It is also a dream that Sir David Beckham probably never thought would come true after waiting for so long.
Sir David’s son Romeo, 23, later posted a Beckham family photo with his parents and siblings Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14.
However, there was no sign of eldest child, Brooklyn, 26, with whom there is a high-profile rift.
Asked whether he managed to speak to Charles during the ceremony, Sir David said: ‘He was quite impressed with my suit. 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.’
The father-of-four was knighted alongside Sir Mel Stride, the former Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, for his political and public service.
