It turns out Sir David Beckham is a knight in more than merely title alone. That's after the Manchester United icon was reportedly the quickest to react when he saw a stranger fall and hit her head during a recent skiing trip.

Beckham, 50, visited Courchevel in the French Alps last week and was with daughter Harper when disaster struck. It's understood he witnessed the unnamed woman's fall before intervening to check she was okay.

The Sun reported 'Becks' helped remove the woman's skis before checking her over to ensure she wasn't hurt. As well as Harper, it's understood that the former Real Madrid and AC Milan midfielder was with a ski guide, who also drew praise for their response.

Beckham took up snowboarding shortly after his retirement in 2013 to stay fit. He and his wife, Victoria, have been regular attendees at Courchevel over the years, though last week's unfortunate mishap made for a new first.

Speaking to The Sun, a source gave a glowing assessment of Beckham as he jumped into action: "David saw the woman hit her head and was worried about her.

"He took her skis off and made sure she was okay – he was a true gentleman. David was incredibly lovely, and so was the ski guide with him."

Courchevel caters to an exclusive clientele. Prince William and Princess Kate made their own trip to the French destination earlier in 2026.

The Beckhams have made it a habit to get in regular trips on the slopes over the last decade or so. Just last year, Becks ventured to British Columbia for a snowboarding holiday of their own.

Canada has proved particularly popular for the Beckhams, who regularly visit resorts like Island Lake Lodge, near Fernie. Whistler is another renowned mountain destination that the football legend and his family have frequented over the years.

This latest trip to Courchevel is believed to be the Beckhams' first ski trip since son Brooklyn split from the rest of the family. Davis and Victoria's eldest son made a bombshell announcement in January after reports he had cut ties with the rest of the Beckham brood.
