Inside Victoria Beckham's 'super close' bond with daughter Harper - and strict rule revealed
For fashion mogul Victoria Beckham, family always comes first. The former Spice Girl is a doting mother to four children - Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper - whom she shares with her footballer husband, David.
Despite reaching new heights with her eponymous fashion label, Victoria, 50, prioritises spending quality time with her brood, frequently flitting between London and the US where her eldest son Brooklyn lives with his actress wife, Nicola Peltz.
While the mother-of-four seems to have found her groove in recent years, VB has previously spoken about the challenges of juggling a career with motherhood. Speaking to Vogue Australia last year, the former Spice Girl admitted:

Victoria and Harper have forged a strong bond thanks to their shared passion for all things fashion and beauty. Harper has already shown signs of following in her mother's sartorial footsteps, with VB admitting that her daughter "loves to play with makeup."
During an appearance on ITV's This Morning, the 'Wannabe' hitmaker shared: "Harper loves beauty. She loves it,
VB has been strict about her daughter wearing makeup in public. While she seems to have taken a more lax approach in recent months, back in 2019, she told : "She [Harper] loves beauty. She likes to play with makeup. It's a great thing you can do as a mother and daughter. But she definitely doesn't go out wearing makeup – that would be a little inappropriate!"
And in 2023, Victoria told that while Harper wasn't allowed to wear makeup out of the house, she'd nailed the art of contouring. "She's been able to do a full face and contour for quite some time," the mother-of-four revealed.
"She's good at doing it very naturally. Going to Space NK is her favourite treat after school. If she does well in a test I'll take her to the one down the road — it's her favourite thing. She's obsessed."

Victoria is a force to be reckoned with thanks to her fashion line which reached profitability last year, 17 years after its launch.
Her clothes have been worn by a galaxy of global stars, and in 2019, she set up Victoria Beckham Beauty which has since garnered rave reviews.
In recent years, Harper has impressed fans with her TikTok makeup tutorials and has reportedly even dipped her toes into the business world.
Last year, The Sun reported that VB had incorporated a business called H7B Limited - a clear nod to her daughter whose full name is Harper Seven Beckham. Could another beauty line be on the cards? Only time will tell…

Victoria and David have had to raise their four children in the spotlight. Despite the constant glare of cameras, the power couple, who wed in 1999, have kept their children grounded with a number of important family values.
Musing on their parenting style, Victoria previously told Allure that she wants her children to She added: "Making eye contact is important. Be polite, shake hands, those kinds of things… We’re both strict parents without wanting to stifle them too much."
Beyond this, kindness is at the forefront of their family values - and something that Victoria has driven home with their youngest child, Harper.
Speaking to France Inter, the 'A Mind of Its Own' singer said: "I was never the most popular girl. What I tell my daughter often is that it's important to not be the cleverest or the prettiest, but to be the kindest, to be the one who works hard and won't accept a no."

The mother-daughter duo are inseparable in the spotlight. Most recently, Harper paid the sweetest tribute to Victoria at Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards. Harper was on hand to present her mother with the Entrepreneur of the Year Award, with the teen also delivering a personal speech.
"The winner is someone I have always looked up to. She's built an incredible business from the ground up and has showed me the value of working hard, dreaming big and setting my standards," Harper said.
"She's taught me so much about what it takes to succeed. But above all else she's taught me to always be kind and, even though she has a million things to do, she rarely misses school."
