'Very working class' - David Beckham pokes fun at wife Victoria after 'casual' New Year's Eve lunch at The Ritz that Inter Miami owner's in-laws left in a Rolls-Royce

The Manchester United and England legend, who is now working with Argentine icon Lionel Messi in MLS, headed out to lunch with his partner and in-laws as a memorable 2023 came to a close. The Beckhams met up with Victoria’s parents, Jackie and Anthony Adams, for a glitzy meal at one of London’s most famous establishments.

Beckham made the most of another opportunity to pick holes in claims from his former Spice Girls star wife that she had a working class upbringing, with the ex-Three Lions captain posting on Instagram: “Just a nice casual New Year’s Eve lunch at The Ritz. @victoriabeckham Very working class?? My mother & father in law left in there Roll’s.”

David and Victoria starred in the popular ‘Beckham’ documentary which aired on Netflix in 2023. During that series, David is seen responding to claims from Victoria that she grew up “very, very working class” by asking what car she was driven to school in. After several attempts to swerve that question, Victoria eventually admits: “OK, in the Eighties, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.” David then disappears out of view, saying “thank you” on his way.

While enjoying some of the festive and New Year period back in England, the Beckhams will soon return to the States. That is because David has work to do at Inter Miami, with Luis Suarez having been added to their star-studded ranks heading into a 2024 campaign that will include pre-season friendly dates with the likes of Newell’s Old Boys – Messi’s first club – and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr.
