Contacted by the Mail Online , a close friend of the clan that Victoria Beckham said, from his vacation in the Maldives , felt ” thrilled and honored for such recognition .”
If the queen and empire wish to return to Posh Spice this distinction, it is neither for his contribution to the work of the Spice Girl not to his well-cut designs . It is Victoria’s involvement in humanitarian missions to UNAIDS that is now worth her to be ennobled by the crown.

Theater, singing lessons and odd jobs to pay for it all, Victoria never lost sight of her goal to become a singer (or famous).
