When David Beckham was knighted by King Charles at Windsor Castle on November 4, his wife Victoria Beckham wore a meaningful accessory. She chose the same Stephen Jones Millinery hat she wore to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding in 2018. The hat features a netted veil and paired perfectly with her navy outfit from her own fashion label: a color she often chooses for royal events.
David also honored the moment with style. He wore a custom three-piece morning suit from the Victoria Beckham atelier, marking the first tailored menswear piece the brand has created. The suit was made from British wool mohair and was inspired by King Charles’s own past looks. David admired Charles’s elegant style and wanted his outfit to reflect that influence.
Victoria has spoken fondly of the outfit she wore to Meghan and Harry’s wedding, calling it feminine, slightly sexy, and appropriate for the occasion. She has also spoken warmly of Meghan, reflecting on how genuine and happy the couple seemed that day.
Victoria also noted the difference between attending that wedding versus William and Kate’s in 2011, when she was heavily pregnant. Being able to choose her outfit freely made the 2018 event more relaxed and enjoyable.
Over the years, both Meghan and Victoria have shown mutual admiration. Meghan later wore a Victoria Beckham dress to Christmas services in 2018, a moment Victoria said was an honor.
After receiving his knighthood, David expressed how proud he is of his country and how meaningful the monarchy has been to his family. Traveling around the world has shown him how strongly people associate the UK with its royal tradition, which makes the recognition feel even more special to him.
