Posh says she's 'proud to be British' ahead of Queen's Diamond Jubilee

London, June 3 (ANI): Victoria Beckham, who is currently residing in Los Angeles with her family, has revealed that she is proud of her British roots.

In a promotional video for the 'This Is GREAT Britain' campaign, the couture queen talks about what makes the UK a great place to live, work and play.

The 38-year-old praises the creativity that these fair isles has to offer as she pays tribute to her fellow designers and musicians.

Footballer David Bedkham's wife is the ambassador for the campaign, which was set up by VisitBritain to promote the UK overseas and has the former Spice Girl play a leading role in the 'Fashion is Great' part of the campaign.

In a video released on Saturday, the former 'Spice Girls' member, looking very chic in one of her own designs, talks about her love for the UK and everything it has to offer.

She starts the video talking about becoming a fashion designer.

"I always wanted to work in fashion and when I was given the opportunity I took that opportunity with both hands," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

"I want to empower women, I want to make women feel good about themselves and for me to be able to achieve the quality that I want to give my customer, I have to do that in London.

"My brand is British, my team are all British, you can feel the energy as you're driving through London," she said.

She added that one of her favourite places in London to visit when she was younger was the thriving and bustling Camden Market.

"I remember when I was younger I used to love going to Camden Market on a Sunday, the energy, the atmosphere, it's really multi-cultural. That is more inspiring than anything," she said.

And she went on to gush about how great the British are and how many creative minds and voices have come from the UK.

"You know, in Britain, we don't feel the need to conform, we dance to the beat of our own drum, we're individual, we're passionate, we're very very creative.

"In Britain we have some incredible brands, when you look at Burberry, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Mackintosh, Hunter - we have really cool, quality British brands and I'm really proud to consider myself one of those," she said.

As one fifth of the 'Spice Girls' - nicknamed Posh Spice in their heyday - she said music was still a big influence.

"I love music. David loves music - but he can't dance. When you look at the talent in Britain over the years, Stone Roses, Oasis, The Beatles, the Spice Girls, Adele, we really have a lot of talent and British music, again, like fashion, is very very cool and very very relevant," she said.

Being the weekend of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee , Victoria praised the monarch.

"The Queen is, I mean, she's an icon. She's so appropriate, very very chic - I mean, she's the Queen," she said.

She, her husband David and their four children - sons Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, ten, Cruz, seven and daughter Harper, 11 months - live in Los Angeles but she said they are still very proud to be British.

"I love living in America, I embrace living in America but I am British, David is British, the kids are British and we're very very proud of that.

"I'm honoured to be supporting our country at such an exciting time," she added.

The fashion designer born and bred in Hertfordshire, the leafy Home County just north of London and has established herself as a world-famous pop star and fashion designer. (ANI)
