It’s Glastonbury 2017, and Beckham is “in deep conversation with Mary Charteris, a 30-year-old married party girl, the ultimate cool Sloane Raver.” She is, we learn, famous for “being present at parties where others enjoyed cocaine”. Is she meant to be a cokehead by association? Can one catch cocaine? How do you get famous for that?
From today’s Guardian review of the new Beckhams biography by Tom Bower, which looks to be just as pointless and bitchy as we had been led to believe it would be. Great stuff from Zoe Williams.
