David Beckham is set to receive a knighthood in the King's upcoming Birthday Honours list, Sky News understands.
The former England football captain was awarded an OBE in 2003, on the recommendation of then prime minister Tony Blair, but is now set to receive further recognition.
Beckham, who turned 50 in May, would take on the title of Sir and his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, would become Lady Beckham, as first reported by The Sun.
It has been a long-held ambition of Beckham's, and rumours abounded last year he may finally get the honour after he was announced as ambassador to the King's Foundation.
Speculation then hit fever pitch in December last year when he attended a state banquet for the first time, alongside his wife.
