Victoria Beckham Issued a Wild Warning to Chefs at Husband David’s $52K Knighthood Celebration

Victoria Beckham pulled out all the stops for husband David Beckham’s knighthood celebration — but she also made some very royal demands, according to the Pop Bitch newsletter.

The former Spice Girls singer, 51, and the soccer legend, 50, arranged for a seven-course tasting menu for their extended family at their pal Gordon Ramsay’s eponymous London restaurant on Tuesday, November 4. (David was knighted at Windsor Castle by King Charles III for his services to sport and charity earlier that day.)

But Lady Beckham’s team made sure to alert the celebrity chef’s staff that the notoriously food-conscious star would only be eating two of the courses and insisted “that NO oil should be anywhere near her plate,” according to the newsletter, distributed on Wednesday, November 20.

“And that if any droplets made their way over to her dishes, be warned,” the outlet continued. “She would be able to taste it.”

However, the fashion designer had no such restrictions about the wine, Pop Bitch reported, “which probably contributed a decent chunk” of the $52,000 bill.

Victoria, who opened up about her past eating disorder in her Netflix docuseries,  confirmed to the Table 4 podcast in 2021 that her meals rarely contain oil, butter or sauce. Meanwhile, David told the same podcast in 2022 that his wife — who he shares four children with —  has hardly eaten anything but grilled fish and steamed vegetables since he met her.
