The Beckhams : A Royal Affair - Alexander Larman

The Beckham family came to define modern celebrity. Lifting the lid on the realities behind the image, this book offers a complete, unbiased portrait of a family whose story continues to unfold - and whose influence spans generations. When David Beckham and Victoria Adams first met in the late 1990s, they were already famous in their own right - young, ambitious and operating at the top of their fields. The Spice Girl and the football player - it was a modern love story. Together, they would become something unprecedented: a partnership that fused sport, style and popular culture, and a family whose influence would extend far beyond either of their original worlds. Following their journey from that first meeting through marriage, parenthood and continual reinvention, this biography explores how shared values, discipline and loyalty shaped both their private lives and their public image. Set against decades of global attention, it charts the evolution of the Beckham household as their four children grew up in the spotlight, each finding their own path while carrying one of the most recognizable surnames in the world .Bringing the story fully into the present day, The Beckhams looks at the family now, with Brooklyn Beckham stepping into adulthood, marriage and public life, and considers how legacy is passed on, reshaped and redefined.
