Victoria Beckham to be given OBE - report
Victoria Beckham is reportedly set to be made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in Queen Elizabeth II's New Year's Honors List.
The pop star-turned-designer will be feted for her services to fashion and her charity work, according to the MailOnline.
"Victoria is incredibly proud of the fashion brand she has built
and ever thankful for her amazing team," an insider said, adding
the star is "delighted and humbled for the recognition".
Victoria is said to have told her family during their Christmas
break to the Maldives, where the Beckhams are holidaying with
celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and his family.
The source continued that being recognized for her charity efforts
has made Victoria all the more happy.
"She is especially thrilled that her philanthropic work as a UNAIDS
goodwill ambassador, creating a voice and awareness for women with
HIV that suffer prejudice and discrimination, has been recognized
in this way," the source continued.
Victoria's husband David was given an OBE in 2003 for his services
to soccer.
Victoria started her career as a member of the mega successful
British girl band Spice Girls, before embarking on a career in
fashion. She launched her eponymous label in 2008, which has become
a New York Fashion Week staple and celebrity favorite, with fans
including Eva Longoria, Blake Lively and Jennifer Lopez.
The mother-of-four juggles her fashion empire with her charity work
with the United Nations (U.N.). Victoria was named a U.N. Goodwill
Ambassador in 2014 and she was recently joined by her eldest son,
17-year-old Brooklyn, on an official trip to Kenya.
