Kevin Sinfield is knighted in the King’s Birthday Honours, according to multiple outlets including the BBC and The Guardian. The recognition is part of the honours list issued for the King’s birthday.
The same honours list also includes awards for members of England’s women’s national football team, the Lionesses. Six players from the squad that won Euro 2025 are made MBEs. The BBC reports that these six Lionesses receive MBEs as part of the same King’s Birthday Honours.
The Guardian also names other recipients mentioned in its coverage of the honours list, including Julia Donaldson and Malorie Blackman, and notes that Helen Mirren and several Lionesses are among those recognised.
Yahoo Sports echoes the headline details that Sinfield receives a knighthood and that six Euro 2025-winning Lionesses are awarded MBEs. Across the reports, the central points are the knighthood for Sinfield and MBEs for six Lionesses tied to Euro 2025 success.
