LONDON — David Beckham has hit out at claims that he used his children’s charity work as part of a cynical campaign to win a knighthood. The claims came after a series of emails purporting to be from Beckham were published Saturday, in which he appeared to rail at not been selected for a knighthood. A statement issued by his PR team says: “David Beckham and UNICEF have had a powerful partnership in support of children for over 15 years. The David Beckham 7 Fund has raised millions of pounds and helped millions of vulnerable children around the world. “David Beckham has given significant time and energy and has made personal financial donations to the 7 Fund and this commitment will continue long term.
