    David Beckham-Rebecca Loos: Tip leads to personal assistant's outburst? Here's what book has claimed

    Synopsis

    David Beckham-Victoria-Rebecca Loos once dominated the headlines of tabloids and now a book has claimed the reason behind outburst of soccer star's personal assistant.

    Renowned soccer icon David Beckham's otherwise picture-perfect marriage with his wife, Victoria, was jolted by sensational allegations when his personal assistant, Rebecca Loos, came forward, asserting that they had engaged in a passionate affair.

    In his latest book, "The House of Beckham," Tom Bower reveals that Rebecca chose to reveal her allegations after she allegedly saw David neglecting to tip a Spanish waitress. Bower describes this seemingly trivial event as the trigger for her decision to go public with her claims, as per a report on The Mirror.

    In 2004, the former England captain's personal assistant made shocking allegations of a clandestine four-month affair with him while he was in Madrid and his wife, Victoria Beckham, remained in the UK with their young children. Rebecca sold her story to the now-defunct News of the World, although David vehemently denied the claims.

    David Beckham recently engaged in a beekeeping discussion with King Charles during their meeting at Highgrove Gardens in the Cotswolds, England. The encounter preceded Beckham's appointment as ambassador for The King's Foundation, CNN reported.

    At Highgrove Gardens, Beckham not only interacted with King Charles but also had the opportunity to meet students of The King's Foundation. These students participate in specialised workshops on-site, honing skills such as woodworking and embroidery.

    Reflecting on the visit, Beckham expressed admiration for The King's Foundation's work, stating, "It was inspiring to hear from The King about the work of His Majesty's Foundation during my recent visit to Highgrove Gardens - and compare beekeeping tips."

    Beckham's affinity for beekeeping is well-documented, with the 2023 Netflix documentary series "Beckham" showcasing his passion for the activity, including scenes of him harvesting honey into an old jam jar.

    As Beckham assumes his role with The King's Foundation, he aims to raise awareness of the charity's mission and impact.
