David Beckham snubbed for Knighthood again as King's New Year Honours list 2024 confirmed

A new official portrait has been unveiled of King Charles III, ready to hang in public buildings across the UK as part of a controversial £8 million Government-funded scheme. Charles, 75, is pictured in full regalia inside Windsor Castle wearing his Royal Navy uniform as an Admiral of the Fleet and an abundance of official medals and decorations.The monarch was captured last year by photographer Hugo Burnand, who also took the King and Queen Camilla's coronation portraits and their 2005 wedding photos.

Following the shock news of Queen Margrethe of Denmark's, 83, abdication, speculation grew as to whether a decision to step away from the throne would be something King Charles would ever consider. While we do not know what will happen in the years to come, it is important to point out that monarchy in the UK and European monarchies are very different. While crowned heads, like Queen Margrethe, are proclaimed by the Prime Minister, Kings and Queens in the UK take an oath and are consecrated during their Coronation meaning it is a far more religious undertaking and one that is a lifetime commitment to God.The suggestion that King Charles may follow in the Danish Queen's footsteps was refuted by former BBC Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond.

It's not David Beckham's year once again, as he has been overlooked for a knighthood in the King's New Year's Honours list.The former England FC captain captured the hearts of the nation as a young footballer and has gone on to gain popularity since retiring from the sport.The 48-year-old previously received an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List in 2003, after he had racked up countless trophies at Manchester United.
