Victoria Beckham honored with OBE from Prince William

April 20 (UPI) -- Victoria Beckham was named an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire or OBE Wednesday by Prince William.

Beckham attended the ceremony at Buckingham Palace in London with her husband David and her parents, Jackie and Tony Adams.

William, a friend of the Beckham's who were invited to his 2011 wedding to Kate Middleton, presented the OBE on behalf of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

"It was an absolute pleasure to be at Buckingham Palace today," Beckham said. "I'm proud to be British, honored and humbled to receive my OBE from the Duke of Cambridge. If you dream big and work hard you can accomplish great things. I'm so happy to share this very special occasion with my parents and husband. Without their love and support, none of this would be possible."

One of the highest honors in Britain, the mother of four earned her OBE for her contributions in fashion and charity work. David received an OBE in 2003 for his achievement in sports.

"Wonderful day celebrating with my beautiful family x #BuckinghamPalace #OBE," she wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of herself displaying her reward.

Also honored was heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill, actor Mark Rylance who was knighted and Paralympic swimmer Bethany Firth and master craftsman Tom Young who received the Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire or MBE.

Beckham recently made headlines for trademarking the name of her five-year-old daughter Harper Seven Beckham.
