'We're proud to be British - we won't move': Victoria Beckham says family will stay in London (but it won't stop them from soaking up the LA sun!)

Victoria Beckham has quashed rumours her family is moving back to the US just months after settling down in the UK, insisting: 'We're very proud to be British.'
Rumours were rife of yet another move for the Beckham clan after they spent a happy summer back in Los Angeles, however Victoria told MailOnline today: 'You know, I'm so happy to be back in London, we all are.
'The kids go to fantastic schools, they have lots of friends and our family live in London, we're very proud to be British.

Proud to be a Brit: Victoria Beckham flying the flag at her New York fashion show on Sunday

'I travel a lot, so I get influenced by lots of different places - but I'm enjoying London. I work every day and spend time with my family. London is an incredible city.

However, in a preview of her Victoria, Victoria Beckham spring/summer 14 collection at New York Fashion Week, the petite brunette, 39, admitted the family would continue to spend vacations at their LA home, saying: 'I love LA as well!

'It's great to go back when the children have time off school,' she continued. 'Spending time in New York is great, there's such an energy here, but London is our home - we have no plans to move. That's where we're staying.'

The Beckhams and their four children only moved back to London in the New Year to coincide with David Beckham's brief signing to Paris Saint-Germain, followed by his emotional retirement from football in May.

And Victoria admitted to missing Los Angeles in an interview with the New York Times' T Magazine last month, saying: 'I am very career minded, and I think my personality is more suited to America. I am a working mum.'

Still hugely ambitious she added: 'I want to reach as many women throughout the world as I can. There are more categories that I want to enter into.

I have five categories at the moment. But at some point I would love to do shoes, I would love to do fragrance, I would love to do make-up, I would like to do underwear. There are so many things I want to do. I want to get bigger and bigger. I absolutely want an empire.'

David is now working on new projects - including teaming up with Gordon Ramsay on a new pie and mash shop to echo his East London roots.
However, contrary to popular opinion he has NOT partnered with the Masterchef host on his new Union Street Cafe in London.
The restaurant, in Southwark, took an incredible 2,500 bookings within four hours of its website going live and it is expected to be one of the places to be later this year.
However, a source told MailOnline: 'We don't want people to be disappointed. David and Gordon are great mates, as everyone knows, but are not working together at all on this restaurant.'
