Victoria Beckham Discusses Family's Down-to-Earth Weekend Traditions
The fashion mogul shares insights into her family's Sunday roast rituals and appreciation for everyday moments.
Victoria Beckham has offered a glimpse into her family's weekend routine, emphasizing a commitment to traditional values and quality time despite their considerable wealth. The fashion designer revealed that Sunday roasts are a non-negotiable fixture in their household, with the entire family, including David and their children Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, gathering at 6:30 p.m. for the meal.
During these gatherings, popular roast elements like Yorkshire puddings and stuffing are staples, though parsnips are notably absent due to David Beckham's dislike for the vegetable. The meal is enhanced with budget-friendly Bisto gravy, priced at £1.75. Beckham highlighted that these dinners are cherished family time, with a strict no-phones policy to encourage genuine interaction.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Beckham also shared that she doesn't adhere to overly precious treatment of their household items. She believes that beautiful glassware and other possessions should be used and enjoyed, rather than kept solely for special occasions or protected from daily wear. "Things need to be used, things need to be shared. And if I've got beautiful glassware, I want everyone to use it," she stated, adding, "I don't think you can ever be too precious."
Beckham has previously described the family as traditional, emphasizing mutual support and presence in each other's lives. She noted the importance of her children seeing both parents work, suggesting it contributes to her being "the best version of me."
David Beckham has also spoken about their weekend habits, detailing regular Saturday grilling sessions at their countryside home. He mentioned that while he and the boys handle the cooking, their daughter Harper also enjoys participating in the culinary activities. In 2023, David Beckham showcased an elaborate BBQ tent, a £50,000 investment from friend Guy Ritchie, equipped to host numerous guests and featuring a large grill. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has publicly praised David's cooking skills, describing him as a "bloody good cook."
