David Beckham leaves Qatar amid World Cup backlash to attend charity bash with wife Victoria
DAVID Beckham joined wife Victoria on Tuesday evening for her fashion firm’s Christmas party – racing back from Qatar to be there.
The couple were pictured leaving her store in Mayfair, London, hours after England’s emphatic win over Wales in the Middle East, where David has been working as an ambassador for the host nation.
Holding hands they left the upmarket store at around 10pm, with a DJ heard from outside playing pop hits including a Spice Girls record for Victoria’s staff night out.
The former England captain has found himself under pressure in recent months over his rumoured £10million Qatar deal - amid anger over human rights and LGBTQ+ issues.
But he and Victoria put on a united front to party with Posh wearing a beautiful black dress which had a long fringed hemline.
She teamed the number with strappy sandals and of course wore her trademark sunglasses despite it being night-time.

The decision by FIFA to hold the World Cup in Qatar has been surrounded by controversy - particularly in relation to migrant workers and the LGBTQ+ community.
But David has insisted he hopes to highlight issues and help progressive change through his lucrative work – and he is expected to return to the country imminently to continue the tournament.
