The former England footballer has had the piss royally ripped by fans following his gushing birthday tribute to Queen Elizabeth II
David Beckham's message to Her Majesty didn't have quite the reaction he was probably expecting.
"Happy Birthday your Majesty Thank you for always being the inspiration our country deserves .. Have the most amazing day @kensingtonroyal @sussexroyal," he wrote as the Queen hit her 93rd year.
But followers were quick to take the Mickey, with one writing: "You're not getting knighted."
A second wag said: "You really want that knighthood don’t you, Dave?"
And another: "You're not getting knighted, David. Give it a rest."
At the time of writing, neither of the royal accounts David tagged had responded to his sweet birthday message.

Victoria Beckham
One half of the indestructible Beckham brand, Victoria was the original Queen WAG in 2006. At the time Victoria had been married to David for seven years and had just given birth to her third boy, Cruz. She had also just launched her denim line, dvb Style and walked the catwalk for Roberto Cavalli. Over a decade later, she is a fully fledged and well respected fashion designer, with a fourth addition to her brood – the adorable Harper.

Coleen Rooney
Coleen rose to fame as a WAG at just 20 years old. Coleen and Wayne are married and they celebrated their ten-year anniversary in 2018. However, Wayne's repeated cheating has strained the relationship over the years. They have four children together, Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass. Since 2006 Coleen has released a fitness DVD, been a style advisor for Littlewoods and even had a column with us in Closer magazine.

Cheryl
How could we forget Cheryl as a WAG? Back then, 23-year-old Cheryl was a popstar in Girls Aloud who had just married Ashley Cole. Nowadays, Cheryl is a household name and a worldwide celebrity in her own right. After splitting from Ashley in 2010, she had a successful (well, successful-ish) solo career, was a judge on The X Factor and was the face of beauty brand L'Oreal. She married Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in 2016 but they divorced three months later. Most recently, Cheryl separated from One Direction singer, Liam Payne, who she has a baby son called Bearwith.

Abbey Clancy
Abbey first grabbed our attention in 2006 as one of the finalists in Britain's Next Top Model. She began dating Peter Crouch that same year and the pair are now married with three kids Sophia Ruby, Liberty Rose and baby Johnny. Lingerie model Abbey went on to win Strictly Come Dancing in 2013 and she returned to Britain's Next Top Model as the show's presenter. Not bad work, eh?

Fast forward to now and Danielle has appeared on TV shows such as Celebrity Big Brother, Total Wipeout, The Weakest Link and even Come Dine With Me. She has three sons, Archie, Harry and George with her now ex-husband Jamie O'Hara. Danielle gave birth to a fourth child with her husband Michael O'Neill, Ronnie, in 2017.

Louise Owen
Despite being married to one of the most famous footballers at the time, Louise Owen wasn't your stereotype WAG. She has always managed to keep her distance from the limelight. Her passion is rescuing race horses and she currently lives in Wales with her husband Michael and their four children, Gemma, James, Jessica and Emily.

Carly Zucker
Now known as Carly Cole after marrying midfielder Joe Cole in Chelsea in 2009, Carly loved to party during the 2006 World Cup (we know the feeling).

In 2017, Victoria Beckham's husband was hit by an email hack scandal that alleged he was angling for a knighthood.
The hack claimed that David only engaged in charity work for UNICEF to secure a knighthood, said that he made expensive demands for his time and refused to put any of his own money into charitable events, allegedly saying: "I don’t want to put my personal money into this cause… If there was no fund, the money would be for me. This f*cking money is mine."

It also reported that the footballer was furious that singer Katherine Jenkins received an OBE in 2014.
The alleged comments in David’s emails to his PR manager, Simon Oliveria, said: "Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops plus taking coke. F* joke."
A spokesperson for David said: "This story is based on outdated material taken out of context from hacked and doctored private emails from a third party server and gives a deliberately inaccurate picture."
