Victoria Beckham’s huge milestone she may reach before husband David

Over the years, Victoria Beckham and her husband David have proven their power couple credentials.

Former Spice Girl Victoria, 50, has cemented her status as a prominent fashion designer, while David, 49, boasts an impressive sporting career and is now a proud co-owner of football club, Inter Miami CF.

Between them, the duo have received numerous awards and accolades. In 2011, Victoria’s eponymous fashion label won Designer Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards, in 2017 she was awarded an OBE, and last year, she clinched Harper’s Bazaar Entrepreneur of the Year award at the Women of the Year Awards.

As for David, the former England captain boasts an array of sporting achievements, including the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award, which he nabbed in 2001. He received his OBE from the late Queen in 2003.

According to brand and culture expert Nick Ede, designer Victoria could be on track to receive one of the highest honours in the UK before David. 

Chatting to HELLO!, he said: “I think that Victoria could be in line to become a Dame in the not too distant future, with her brand becoming synonymous with UK fashion and her flying the flag like previous fashion Dames Vivienne Westwood, Anya Hindmarch and Zandra Rhodes.”

He went on to say: “I can see her well on the way to becoming fashion’s finest UK export. I think she may achieve this accolade before David does as she has shown herself to be such an inspiring businesswoman, extremely hard working and a perfect ambassador for the UK.”
