David and Victoria Beckham hire housekeeper from Buckingham Palace to run their new mansion

As well as cleaning, ironing, general tidying and dusting, the latest member of the Beckhams’ payroll mucks in with a spot of dog walking and grooming

New recruit: The housekeeper's CV was 'pretty impressive'

They are used to the high life, but things just got a bit posher for David and Victoria Beckham.

The celebrity couple have hired a member of the royal household to keep things ship-shape in their new West London mansion.

They have taken on the male, full-time housekeeper to help with the general running of the £40million family home.

And they have significantly boosted the former footman’s previous £15,000 a year salary to secure a pedigree employee.

A source said: “They needed a new housekeeper and, hands down, he was the best applicant.

His CV was pretty impressive and, obviously, having a former Buckingham Palace member of staff is quite a boon.

Just the job: Buckingham Palace

 

“Victoria is delighted, and he is fitting in really well with the family.”

As well as cleaning, ironing, general tidying and dusting, the latest member of the Beckhams’ payroll mucks in with a spot of dog walking and grooming.

Last year mum-of-four Victoria, 40, revealed she and Becks, 39, had five permanent members of household staff including a nanny and chef.

In 2010 it emerged they let 14 staff go, including six gardeners at their home in the South of France.

Posh said recently: “It’s difficult juggling work, the children and having a husband who travels.

"I do have a bit of help – I can’t do it all myself.”
