Members of the Beckhams’ 24 hour security surveillance team chased them away after noticing the incident unfold on their screens.

According to MailOnline, diners at the nearby exclusive countryside retreat, Soho Farmhouse, also noticed what was going on and joined the security team to force them off-site.

The couple and their four children here not at home during the attempted break-in on Friday.

Instead, they were all on their way to Australia, where David is joining the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in Australia as an ambassador for Harry’s Invictus Games for injured service personnel.

A spokesperson for the couple declined to comment.

The attempted break-in comes to light after David opened up about his marriage to Victoria in a new interview on Australian TV, describing it as “hard work”.

He said: “Your children, they want your time and they deserve your time and we are hard working and we feel that is the right way to bring up our children to prove and to show to them you have to work really hard to be successful.

“We have been married for a long time now, we recently did a Vogue front cover which was all about Victoria’s 10 years in fashion.

“The amount she has achieved in such a short space of time – four beautiful young children, we have a beautiful dog – but obviously in her business world to be on the front cover of Vogue was a huge thing and then we did a separate picture for another cover.

“But to be married for the amount of time that we have, it’s always hard work, everybody knows that but you make it work.

“You make difficult situations like travelling away, being away from each other, you make it work.”
