Next year can be special for David Beckham as he is the most likely to become a Knight in Great Britain. Betting odds on Beckham to receive a Knighthood is the highest but he is only one from a number of candidates. Let’s see the whole list! A Knighthood/Damehood is one of the highest titles in Great Britain. It is given to British people by Queen for their achievements in their country. Following online sportsbooks in the UK, here are the odds of all the celebrities who can receive the title in 2020 at 22bet:

David Beckham - 2.00

Gareth Southgate - 7.00

Daniel Craig - 8.00

Lewis Hamilton - 11.00

James Anderson - 13.00

Olivia Colman - 13.00

Mary Berry - 13.00

Jonny Wilkinson - 21.00

As we can see from the predictions, a former #1 football player is the main candidate to get the special award. However, he has serious competitors whose chances to receive a title are justified by some circumstances. So, let’s see the top-3 celebrities who can become a Knight or Dame in 2020.

Betting odds on Beckham to receive a Knighthood are the lowest

As it is clear, David Beckham is the number one candidate for receiving a Knighthood next year. This prediction is based not only on the lowest odds at online gambling sites in the UK, however, they are also attractive. The British player had to receive the title in 2013 but his tax affairs didn’t play for him at that point. However, those days are gone, so there’s nothing holding the Monarchy from giving Becks the title he deserves. He and his wife, Victoria, have already received the Officer title, so both Beckhams are close to getting a higher one. Betting odds on Beckham to receive a Knighthood say that David will do it first and odds of 2.00 confirm this theory.

Popular British actors can also profess to receive the title

Despite betting odds on Beckham to receive a Knighthood are the lowest at 22Bet Sportsbook, there are two film stars who can accompany him. The first one is Daniel Craig, the latest actor to portray James Bond, an iconic British character. Craig’s odds to receive a Knighthood in 2020 are 8.00 and primarily ground on the No Time To Die premiere that will take place next year. The last Bond film with Craig’s participation is a good reason to award the actor with a prestigious British title.

Another person likely to get the title from Her Majesty is a British actress, Olivia Colman. A 45-years-old film star can boast with two justified reasons to give her a Damehood next year. Firstly, she won an Academy Award in 2019 as Best Actress for portraying Queen Anne in The Favourite. Moreover, she will be playing Queen Elizabeth II herself in the 3rd season of The Crown series this fall. Such a coincidence allows us to suppose that giving her a Dame title couldn’t come at a better time and odds of 13.00 confirm our suggestions.
