Will Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham become a Lady?

She shouldn’t, some Brits say. They’re questioning a plan to knight the former pop star’s hubby — which would make him Sir David and his wife Lady Victoria.

At issue is not just whether the 32-year-old sports star has achieved enough in his life to enter knighthood — but also the fact that he’s moving to the U.S.

“Although Beckham’s name has been put forward, some believe it should not be approved at a time when he will be earning his main income and paying tax in the U.S. thanks to his £25 million (about $50 million), five-year deal with the L.A. Galaxy football club,” noted the London Evening Standard, which quoted one source as saying, “Some officials feel that there is nothing wrong with honoring a player who is based in Europe and free to represent his country if required, but feel there is a big difference if the same player is earning his main income and paying tax in the United States and unable to play for England.”
