A lot of stupid people reading DM and left equally stupid comments in this article. The Beckhams are paying their staffs a lot hire than some people have been paying theirs. My family is not a rich family, but we are still hiring a maid to do household works for us which we paid her good wage. Are you guys saying my made is a slave? How stupid can you guys be? Lastly....why the Beckhams are not allowed to hire a BUTLER when they've got a huge house to look after? If it's such a wrong this to do...the Butler would not apply for a job with The Beckhams in the first place. Again...how stupid can you guys be?

I had heard the Royals were cheap...and then they received more money? They certainly not spending it on their staff. Honestly I'd rather see the Beckhams get Knighthood than the Middleton's.

He hired a butler. They will have a staff at their home and they are hiring people. So this man worked at Buckingham Palace. That means nothing to the Beckhams lives .. just that someone they hire has good references. They have children and a nice home full of nice things, of course they will hire staff who are experienced and trustworthy.
