The former England captain uploaded the images on Monday, Jan. 12, captioning the collection: “Amazing weekend in the country and nice and chilly 🥶 Simba 🐶 not so happy 😀.”
Snow-Covered Coops and Canine Companions
Beckham’s snapshots showed:
- His dogs navigating the white landscape
- Coated coops that house the flock he received in December 2023
- The 50-year-old sports icon trekking with a walking stick
The poultry present came courtesy of Victoria Beckham. On Christmas Day 2023 she posted: “What do you get @davidbeckham for Christmas??” A subsequent clip showed David scattering feed while announcing, “I got some chickens and a cockerel.”
A Recurring Theme on Social Media
Country living is a favorite subject for Beckham’s Instagram followers:
- October 2024: sunnier shots of chickens and dogs earned a “Country life ❤️🐶🐓” caption
- Days after the holiday gift he shared an Instagram Story of a hen peeking from the coop: “Coming out to say good morning”
- Simba, singled out in the latest post, regularly appears across his feed
A Knight in the Snow
The rural retreat provided calm after a landmark year. In November 2024 King Charles III knighted Beckham at Windsor Castle for services to sport and charity. Victoria, 51, and David’s parents Ted Beckham and Sandra West looked on as he became Sir David Beckham, making Victoria Lady Beckham.
Weeks later he told News Of Losangeles: “It’s been a very emotional week. I wasn’t nervous, just emotional, as it means so much to me and my family. It’s such a huge honor to receive, and all-round, it was a very special day for us. It’s a memory I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.”
The soccer legend added on Instagram: “I have been fortunate to represent our country and I’ve always done that with pride. I love our Royal Family and what it means to people not just in Great Britain but around the world. I could never have dreamed that this would happen to me.”
