Beckham was born at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, Essex and raised in Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire.[5] She is the first of three children born to Jacqueline Doreen (née Cannon), a former insurance clerk and hairdresser,[6][7] and Anthony William Adams, who worked as an electronics engineer.[5] They founded an electronics wholesale business which allowed a comfortable upbringing for Victoria and her[1] sister Louise and brother Christian Adams.[8]
In 1980, she watched the musical film Fame and subsequently made the decision to pursue a musical career.[9][10] Jacqueline and Anthony Adams enrolled her at Jason Theatre School.[1] In 1991, Beckham entered Laine Theatre Arts in Epsom, Surrey and studied dance and modelling.[1][2] Beckham attended St. Mary's High School in Cheshunt,
where she was embarrassed by her family's wealth and often begged her father not to drop her off outside the school in their Rolls Royce.[11] She was frequently bullied and often felt treated like an outsider. Beckham later explained that she had never made any friends and the other children would throw rocks at her.[12] Eventually, she became a member of a band called Persuasion
