David Beckham told his wife Victoria “nobody deserves it more than you” as she was given a French knighthood amid the ongoing family rift with their eldest son.

The Spice Girl and fashion designer was flanked by the rest of her family, including sons Cruz and Romeo and daughter Harper, as she was named a Chevaliere de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres – a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters, which recognises significant contributions to the arts and literature.
