Beckhams expand 'Beckingham Palace'
British celebrity supercouple David and Victoria Beckham are extending their sprawling English country home, to accommodate their growing family.
Following the news 30-year-old Victoria is three months pregnant with the couple's third child - due in March next year - the Beckhams are building an extra bedroom at their Hertfordshire mansion, dubbed "Beckingham Palace", ready for the new baby.
They have submitted a planning request to the local council for the changes to the €9m pad, which include two extra floors on their swimming pool building to house the extra bedroom and storage space.
The work, which will cost in excess of €150,000 also comes just days after the Beckhams announced they have bought their first family home in Madrid, Spain - where David plays for local side Real Madrid.
But friends say "Beckingham Palace" will remain their first home. A pal explains:"David and Victoria's love affair with Beckingham Palace is far from over.
"With a new addition to the family on the way, the couple need an extra bedroom and a nursery for their baby in the main house, so need to build more space for guests elsewhere."
