David Beckham and his wife, Victoria Beckham, started the new year in style with a lavish lunch at The Ritz in London. The couple was accompanied by Victoria’s parents, Jackie and Anthony Adams. David playfully captioned an Instagram photo of the group, calling it a “nice casual New Year’s Eve lunch at The Ritz” while jokingly referring to their “working-class” status. This lighthearted comment was a playful nod to a now-viral scene from Netflix’s “Beckham” documentary, where Victoria attempted to downplay her affluent upbringing.
In the documentary, Victoria Beckham tried to establish that she and David both came from hardworking families. However, her husband, a legendary athlete, playfully challenged her claim. He asked her what car her dad used to drive her to school, prompting Victoria to initially hesitate before admitting that her father owned a Rolls-Royce in the 1980s. This humorous scene became a running joke for the couple, with Victoria even designing and promoting a $150 slogan T-shirt that read “My Dad Had a Rolls-Royce.”
During the Christmas season, Victoria Beckham shared a playful moment with her eldest son’s wife, Nicola Peltz. The pair appeared in a TikTok video posted by Peltz, showcasing their festive morning together. This light-hearted interaction contrasted with previous reports suggesting tension between Victoria and Nicola leading up to Brooklyn and Nicola’s grand wedding in April. However, both Victoria and Brooklyn denied any animosity between Victoria and Nicola, putting the rumors to rest.
This series of amusing incidents offers a glimpse into the Beckham family’s dynamics and sense of humor. Despite their high-profile status and extravagant lifestyle, the Beckhams seem to approach life with a level of lightheartedness and self-awareness. David’s playful Instagram caption, Victoria’s playful T-shirt design, and their silly Christmas celebration with Nicola Peltz all contribute to the image of a family that doesn’t take themselves too seriously.
David Beckham’s playful jabs at Victoria Beckham’s supposed “working class” roots add an endearing and relatable aspect to the couple’s public image. They establish the Beckhams as down-to-earth individuals who can laugh at themselves and their privileged backgrounds. The amusing moments captured in the “Beckham” documentary and shared on social media provide fans with a more intimate look into the family’s dynamics and sense of humor. Ultimately, these lighthearted exchanges showcase the Beckhams’ ability to embrace their fame while maintaining an approachable and relatable persona.
