13 years after her husband, David Beckham, received an OBE, mum-of-four Victoria Beckham has been named on the Queen's New Year's Honours list.
Victoria, who rose to fame with the Spice Girls in the mid 90s, has since made a name for herself in the fashion industry, and is said to be 'thrilled' by the honour.
It is understood that Victoria will be receiving the Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire honour for her humanitarian work and services to fashion in recent years.
According to the Daily Mail, the 42-year-old announced the news to her family over the festive period while enjoying a vacation in the Maldives, and admitted that she was 'delighted and humbled' by the accolade.
"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 recognised in this way," a source close to the family confirmed.
Further to this, the designer is said to be overwhelmed by the nod to her work in the fashion industry, with the insider adding: "Victoria is incredibly proud of the fashion brand she has built and ever thankful for her amazing team.”
David, who received an OBE in 2003, recently spoke of the honour, saying: "Collecting my OBE was one of the proudest moments."
"Meeting the Queen, it doesn't get better than that. You can feel the emotion, I can personally feel the emotion, because I just love everything about our Queen and what she represents," he added.
What a way to ring in the new year!
