Model and fashion designer Victoria Beckham, who has four children, marked Anti-Bullying Week with a heartfelt post on Instagram and posed with her only daughter, Harper.

Victoria Beckham has shared an emotional Instagram post to mark Anti-Bullying Week, saying that she was “bullied a lot at school.”

Posing in an embrace with her daughter Harper Seven, she penned: “BE THE KINDEST IN THE CLASSROOM!

“I’m so proud to raise a strong and caring daughter!

 

“Growing up I was bullied a lot at school, and I often tell Harper how important it is to be kind and call out if anyone is ever being bullied – especially if there’s ever another little girl on her own in the playground, because that was once her mummy!

 

“This #AntiBullyingWeek it’s so important to not be silent if someone is alone or being bullied. xx Kisses #HarperSeven I love you so much xx.”

 

Many of her 32 million followers couldn’t help but react in the comments section for her brave words.

One person wrote: “Its so lovely to see you’re raising your daughter like a Normal 12 year old and not like a tik tok wannabee queen.”

A second commented: “Brilliant message and with this year’s slogan for anti bullying week being ‘use your voice’ it’s more important than ever that we raise kids not to be bystanders.”

A third typed: “What an amazing young lady to stand up to bullies. The world needs more of people like you.”

Victoria and her husband David have recently lifted the lid on their private lives in a new Netflix documentary.

The four-part Netflix series, which was released on October 4, teases a rare insight into who David Beckham actually was before he experienced football stardom.

The documentary also explores his marriage to model Victoria and some of their most difficult experiences.

David Beckham has admitted he and wife Victoria have wondered how they have survived 27 years together given all that they have been through.

The former Manchester United and England footballer, 49, said they both became ’emotional’ watching the recent documentary series about him.

He said that despite all the ‘ups and downs’ in his life he is grateful they are still happy as it approaches their silver wedding anniversary in July.

David said: ‘That’s one of the things we both, me and Victoria, probably both get emotional about, and after watching the documentary after everything was over and we watched it finally, that’s the one thing that we looked at each other and was like, “I don’t know how we got through the last 27 years, but we did and we have an amazing family, amazing business and we’re happy.”

‘And yeah, of course, when you’re with someone for that amount of time, of course you have your ups and downs, everybody knows that and at the end of the day we were lucky because we had each other at those moments.

‘You know, she was a Spice Girl, I was playing for Manchester United, and even when we were going through the difficult times, we actually had each other to feed off and that was the best part.

‘Obviously we were 21 and 22 when we met. We got married when we was 23 and 24 and we had our first son when I was 23, so as soon as we had our first son, Brooklyn, that also added another layer to the family and our responsibilities then were to our son.’

David told the latest edition of the SmartLess podcast, which goes on general release on Monday, May 20, that he is ‘so happy’ at where his life is now.

David is busy pursuing his business interests with fashion and beauty brands as well as being part-owner and President of MLS football club Inter Miami after a glittering career as a player.

He explained: ‘I’m so happy. I am very happy because I feel very blessed to have had the career that I’ve had and played for the teams that I have and experienced that.

‘And the one thing that I always wanted for me, I was lucky I met Victoria when I met her because I always wanted to have kids young.

‘I always wanted to have kids that lived through my career with me and I was lucky the three boys all lived through most of the teams that I played for and that, for me, was a really important part of my life.’

David was asked on the podcast – hosted by Hollywood actors Jason Bateman, Sean Haye and Will Arnett – about his recent Netflix documentary series, with Ozark star Jason asking him what part he was most excited for people to learn about him.

He continued: ‘Obviously we were 21 and 22 when we met. We got married when we was 23 and 24 and we had our first son when I was 23, so as soon as we had our first son, Brooklyn, that also added another layer to the family and our responsibilities then were to our son’

He replied: ‘To be honest I was nervous about the whole thing, you know? When I retired eight years before, or 10 years before, it was actually 10 years, they wanted me to do it there and then and I wasn’t actually ready to look back, I was ready to jump into something else, which was the club in Miami.

‘But then about two years out from my 10-year retirement anniversary, we started to discuss and talk about it and think, “OK, maybe this is the right time.”

‘In all honesty, one of the reasons why I wanted to do the documentary was for my family. I wanted them to have something all in one place for them to watch and for them to look back and reminisce. And that’s what really we created.

‘You know, there was a hell of a story there from the upbringing, to the different clubs that I played for, to the ups and the downs and my career was always kind of a rollercoaster, but obviously I was very lucky to be as successful as I was because of the team that I played for and the team-mates that I had.

‘In all honesty, I’m shocked with the reaction to the documentary, I can’t believe the reaction that we’ve had to the documentary.’

Meanwhile, in a fun revelation in the interview, East End London-born David also revealed he has been teaching his only daughter Harper, 12, Cockney rhyming slang.

London-born David also revealed he has been teaching his only daughter Harper, 12, Cockney rhyming slang, he said: ‘Victoria would kill me if I was trying to teach her those kind of words and things – she wouldn’t be happy’

He said: ‘My daughter started trying to ask me some slang the other day. She was like, “Dad, you always talk about these slang words as a Cockney.”

‘And I was like, “OK” – because I don’t really want her to start talking slang in all honesty – so I was like, “So Harper, you’ve just run up the Apple and Pears.”

‘And she was like, “What do you mean?” I was like, “That’s what it is, stairs – you’ve just run up the apple and pears.”

‘Victoria would kill me if I was trying to teach her those kind of words and things – she wouldn’t be happy.’

David Beckham has confessed he sparked an argument with the director of his Netflix documentary when he interrupted an interview with his wife.

The 49-year-old former footballer and his 50-year-old wife, Victoria Beckham.

 

Starred in a critically panned documentary series about their gilded lives that was streamed via Netflix last October.

The four-part docuseries saw cameras enter the home of the fame-hungry family – who are said to be worth more than £340 million.

A ‘viral’ moment was born when Victoria sat on her luxury sofa to describe her working class upbringing.

Only for Dave to interrupt from the side of the room to demand she “be honest” about her upbringing.

 

The Spice Girl was then shamed into confessing her father drove her to school in a Rolls Royce – suggesting her childhood had been far from ‘working class’.

 

But now David has revealed that his intervention sparked a furious exchange with documentary director Fisher Stevens.

He explained that the camera team and crew believed David had left the propriety so they could film with Victoria – only for him to eavesdrop on their conversation from the kitchen.

OK! Magazine claims The Hollywood Reporter recorded a round table discussion with David, Fisher.

Documentary producer Josh Battsek and editor Michael Harte to reflect on their time putting the series together. David then reportedly explained that he had been in the kitchen when Victoria started discussing her humble upbringing.

 

He is reported as saying: “I put the set headphones on and all of a sudden I heard my wife go, ‘Well, we’re down to earth’. And I was like, ‘No, no, no’. As soon as I heard her say ‘We’re working class’, I stuck my head in and I was like, ‘Be honest’.” He then claimed that Fisher was “very angry with me over that” at the time.

The director himself is then quoted defending his irritation, explaining: “David was supposedly out and she could be free to say what she wants. And then he showed up and I was quite upset. I was like, ‘Get him out of here’ – but it actually turned out to be brilliant. It worked out. Thank God the cameraman caught David, and then Michael, I did say ‘I think we have some gold’.”

While the Beckham documentary series was enjoyed by some fans and spawned some meme-worthy moments, it has been roundly slammed as a soulless and shallow TV experiment. Deadline slammed the show – as well as other recent celebrity fronted docu-sereies – writing: “These examples support the argument that such documentaries are nothing more than sanitised PR exercises for the celebrities involved, who invariably also appear in the credits as ‘executive producer’.”

And The Mirror’s own review accused the show of “whitewashing” the named “Rebecca Loos out of the story”, observed: “I would be amazed if one single shot or anecdote has made the cut here that the Beckhams did not want you to see or hear” – and branded the show as nothing more than “marketing guff”.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have struck up an unlikely friendship with Michael Buble after the royal couple ditched David and Victoria Beckham.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in Canada for a whirlwind three-day tour of Vancouver and Whistler for the One Year To Go celebrations ahead of the 2025 Invictus Games.

 

And on Friday, they hit the ice to try out a winter sport that will be included in the games for the first time.

Harry and Meghan were joined by Canadian crooner Michael Bublé and his wife Luisana Lopilato at the Hillcrest Community Centre in Vancouver as they tried out wheelchair curling.

The 39-year-old prince attempted the tricky sport alongside the Feeling Good hitmaker, and he was cheered on by the singer

.

As well as Canadian Armed Forces veterans and former Invictus Games competitors.

At one point, Michael shouted, “Oh no!” as Harry missed another vital shot, while Meghan watched her husband on the sidelines alongside Luisana.

 

Their unlikely friendship began in 2015, when the Duchess of Sussex first met Michael at a dinner party hosted by her best friend Jessica Mulroney.

The singer is close friends with Jessica’s husband Ben, who is the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and Meghan attended the dinner party while filming Suits in Vancouver. She recalled meeting Michael in a post on her now-defunct website The Tig, and called the singer a “delightful guy”.

“This proud papa, husband to the lovely Luisana Lopilato, and certifiably delightful guy, makes for one hell of a dinner companion. But there’s this other thing about him that is perhaps worth mentioning. Oh right. He sings,” she wrote.

The couple’s friendship with Michael and his wife comes after it emerged David and Victoria Beckham have effectively ended their friendship with the Sussexes over a row about leaking stories to the press. According to the Mail on Sunday, the former England and Manchester United footballer is “absolutely furious” after it was suggested that he and wife Victoria had leaked stories about Meghan and Harry.

 

David and Harry struck up a close friendship when the former sportsman became an official Invictus Games ambassador, and the Beckhams were one of the many celebrity guests at Meghan and Harry’s wedding in 2018. Sources revealed that their friendship is now over after Meghan reportedly became concerned about “indiscretion” from the ex-Spice Girl, and accusations were thrown during a heated phone call between David and Harry.

Victoria Beckham has made her mark on fashion’s biggest stage as the designer created a jaw-dropping pink lace gown for Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor.

The 29-year-old strutted the Met Gala carpet on Monday in the see-through garment delicately accessorised with three-dimensional flower and butterfly appliques.

 

Keeping the actress’ covered with just a few well-placed blossoms.

The jaw-dropping look turned heads and perfectly met the Garden of Time theme for the evening, which honored the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s latest exhibit.

It highlighted rare and archival fashion, some of which has become so fragile it can no longer be worn.

Never one to shy down from a challenge, the rising designer was determined to work with archival lace for the Netflix star’s gown.

And revealed the tough painstaking process she had to go through to bring it all together.

Lifting the lid on the creation of Phoebe’s gown, the mother-of-four took to Instagram with some behind-the-scenes clips on Tuesday night, writing in the caption: “The ethereal silhouette was hand-crafted from archival lace, and embellished with over 300 lace appliqué flowers, hand-cut and hand-sewn onto a tulle base.”

The custom gown was evidently “fragile and delicate” but the designer was determined to bring in some stark lines in the silhouette in order to truly reflect the actress.

Victoria gushed over Phoebe dubbing her: “A classic English rose and a fearless actress with immense strength of character.”

Phoebe’s custom gown is the first fully custom Victoria Beckham item at the Met Gala and the Posh Spice star explained to Vogue that she wanted the dress to “be almost like an extension” of Phoebe herself.

Phoebe gently accessorised the look with some delicate silver jewellery and a light pink manicure.

The striker, who is world-class in his own right, has played with stars such as Jude Bellingham and Wayne Rooney for England.

At club level with Bayern Munich and Tottenham respectively, Jamal Musiala and Heung-min Son have been teammates of his too.

 

Countless other talents have also shared the pitch with him but, if the 30-year-old had the choice, it’s Beckham he’d love to star with.

Speaking to ITV Sport ahead of Bayern’s Champions League semi-final clash against Real Madrid, which is live on talkSPORT, he was tasked with answering a series of questions.

One saw Kane being asked if he could play with any other player from any era who would he go for, and he replied: “I think David Beckham.

“I was a big David Beckham fan, [the crosses] that’s what I mean, as a striker to play with Beckham must have been top draw.”

Had such a partnership ever come to fruition, then England fans could have been treated to potentially the greatest ever football duo.

Beckham is regarded as one of the best crossers and passers of the ball in the history of the game, assisting 267 goals in 724 appearances throughout his career.

Couple this with the 402 goals Kane has netted so far, then it’s a partnership that would undoubtedly cause nightmares for defences.

However, Beckham called time on his glittering career – one that saw him win six Premier League titles and the Champions League with Manchester United, as well as a LaLiga title with Real Madrid and a Ligue 1 crown with Paris Saint-Germain – in 2013.

This came just before Kane’s breakthrough season at Spurs, with the 30-year-old now regarded as one of the best strikers in the world.

Although Bayern have been underwhelming overall, the England captain has enjoyed an excellent debut season on a personal level in what has been his first campaign outside of his homeland.

Kane has scored 44 goals in as many appearances across all competitions for the German giants, assisting a further 11.

Bayern missed out on the Bundesliga title but Champions League glory is still up for grabs, which would see their star striker win the first major trophy of his career.

Had Kane been able to play with Beckham, though, there’s little doubt that he’d have accumulated many honours by now.

In a remarkable display, David Beckham once donated his entire five-month salary to a charitable cause.

Recently though, the Englishman has been seen endorsing another powerful message from legendary actor Al Pacino, and his backing of this initiative comes as no surprise.

David Beckham is currently basking in the success of his soccer team, Inter Miami. Especially after the arrival of Lionel Messi, who has taken LA by storm since joining the club.

Beckham’s philanthropic endeavors extend beyond the soccer field. In 2005, while playing for Manchester United, he assumed the role of a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

Beckham has consistently supported UNICEF’s vital work for children, earning him a reputation as a compassionate and socially conscious athlete.

Recently, on his Instagram story, David Beckham shared a powerful message from none other than Al Pacino. The Irishman star was championing a global goal.

The Global Goals initiative aims to end poverty, reduce inequalities, and combat climate change by 2030.

In support of this noble cause, David Beckham captioned the post with a simple yet profound message. He wrote, “Imagine winning the global goals.”

Beckham has long been associated with charitable endeavors. He consistently strives to make a meaningful impact through philanthropy, evident in his past gesture of donating five months’ wages to a charitable cause.

Diving deeper into Beckham’s charitable efforts, it’s worth noting that he donated his entire salary from a five-month contract with Paris Saint Germain towards a children’s charity. This generous act, as reported, amounted to an estimated worth of $3.5 million.

When asked why he made such a substantial donation, Beckham humbly stated that he had never played football for money. The Englishman emphasized that he had already earned a substantial income during his illustrious career and recognized that any charity would greatly benefit from his seven-figure donation.

David Beckham’s endorsement of Al Pacino’s strong message for a noble cause is a testament to his unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on the world. From his role as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador to his generous donations, Beckham continues to be a beacon of hope and inspiration. His actions remind us that fame and fortune can be used to uplift others.

Harper Seven had fun on Saturday at her mother Victoria Beckham’s flagship store in Dover Street.

Victoria, who turned 50 in April, shared a video to her Instagram Story of Harper, 12, posing around the shop and modelling its items.

 

At the beginning of the Story, Harper can be heard saying: ‘Come with me to visit Victoria Beckham’s shop on Dover Street.’

Victoria set the fun clip to The Lovin’ Spoonful’s Do You Believe In Magic? and wrote over the top: ‘#HarperSeven takes over 36 Dover Street!! Kisses @davidbeckham xx’.

Harper wore a grey hoodie, darker grey jeans, and a pair of white, grey, and black Nike trainers.

The sweet mother-daughter outing comes after the Beckhams celebrated David’s 49th birthday on May 2 and throughout the week.

As well as Harper, David is father to sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, and Cruz Beckham, 19.

 

Part of David’s birthday celebrations included a trip to Spain with firm friends Tana and Gordon Ramsay.

Victoria gave a further insight into David’s birthday celebrations on Thursday when she shared a gallery of snaps on Instagram.

The former footballer looked thrilled as he marked the occasion with his family at Canton Blue, a Cantonese restaurant at The Peninsula London.

Following the meal, the former athlete looked surprised as he was treated to a Victoria sponge cake with several candles on as his family sang happy birthday amid a backdrop of balloons.

 

The Spice Girl wrote: ‘Happy Birthday!!! You are our everything!!!’, before added she is missing son Brooklyn, 25.

Earlier in the day, Victoria delighted fans as she shared a shirtless clip of her husband as he completed a workout despite it being his birthday.

The former Manchester United player looked incredible as he posed topless wearing only a pair of tiny blue gym shorts and green trainers.

As Victoria swooned: ‘Birthday boy doing a birthday workout, looking good’, David jokily flexed his muscles as he showcased his washboard abs and toned physique.

 

David then broke into laughter as Victoria added: ‘Happy birthday’.

The Beckham family has long been in the spotlight, not only for their shining careers but also for their strong family bond.

Visible in the ‘BECKHAM’ Netflix documentary, the unbreakable bond between David Beckham and his family is heartwarming.

As fans continue to marvel at the enduring relationship between the Beckhams, it’s now Romeo Beckham, David & Victoria’s second son, who is making headlines.

Romeo Beckham has decided to take a significant step in his relationship with the 21-year-old model, Mia Regan.

However, this move from Romeo takes his parents by surprise, considering the hot question in the air: are wedding bells ringing? Let’s unravel the mystery.

In the new year, David Beckham’s 21-year-old son, Romeo Beckham, and his son’s model girlfriend, Mia Regan, are making headlines with a major step in their relationship.

As reported by Hola, the loving couple recently announced their decision to move in together as the new year unfolded. A captivating video shared on their social media handles provided glimpses of their new apartment in London. This revelation came as a delightful surprise, unveiling a decision that has left even David and Victoria Beckham astonished.

Romeo’s decision to live separately, away from the lavish Beckham mansion in Kensington, London, signaled a bold move. While the property, valued at a staggering $40 million, had ample space for the young couple, it seems Romeo and Mia were eager to build a space of their own. Though the specifics of their apartment property are still unknown, one thing is certain – their bond is stronger than ever.

The world now speculates on the intricate details of Romeo and Mia’s newfound independence. The New Year also saw the Beckham family celebrating in their Kensington mansion together. Brooklyn, David Beckham’s eldest son, was notably absent though. However, Romeo, Mia, Cruz, and Harper rang in the new year with David Beckham and Victoria Beckham by their side.

According to sources, a close friend of the Beckhams also disclosed the sentiments of the power couple. They expressed how they ‘miss their children terribly’ and they joke about ’empty nest syndrome.’ With Romeo Beckham’s move, all three older Beckham children have flown the nest, leaving 12-year-old Harper as the only companion for the iconic couple.

While Cruz and Brooklyn Beckham have found their paths in Los Angeles, USA, Romeo has embarked on a new start with Mia Regan. The question that remains now in everybody’s mind is: What’s next for the Beckham legacy? Only time will tell.

Victoria and David Beckham are enjoying a dream family holiday in Florida, but are “missing” Brooklyn and Romeo.

The former Spice Girls star and the ex England captain treated their two youngest children Cruz, 17, and Harper, 11, to a trip to Disney World.

 

The family shared a slew of sweet snaps from their trip, including Posh and Becks cuddling up to Minnie Mouse and Harper meeting Elsa and Olaf from Frozen.

Taking to Instagram, the couple, who earlier this year celebrated 23 years of marriage, shared videos and photos from their time inside the magical kingdom.

Captioning her post, Victoria wrote: “Kisses from Disney World!!!

I love you @davidbeckham @cruzbeckham #harperseven missing you @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham “

Sharing more photos from their trip, David penned: “Special Memories @disney we missed you @romeobeckham & @brooklynpeltzbeckham..

Thank you @victoriabeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven for a special few days”

 

In some of the videos, Harper can be seen incredibly excited over the parade, whilst Cruz looks less impressed. Another sees Harper react to being on the Splash Mountain ride alongside her footballer dad and big brother.

“Oh my god, oh my god,” Cruz can be heard saying, whilst Harper screamed all the way down.

Missing out on the family holiday, Brooklyn, 23, and wife Nicola Peltz, 27, enjoyed their own day out as they headed to a pumpkin farm in the states. Taking to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, the Bates Motel actress shared a snap of her husband pulling a wheelbarrow.

 

“Family day out @brooklynpeltzbeckham,” Nicola gushed. Another image showed the couple’s new dog, Lamb.

This comes after reports emerged that the budding chef and his model wife would be missing Christmas at the Beckhams for the second year in a row, despite reconciling at Victoria’s Paris fashion show. Rumours of a long-standing heated feud between the two were seemingly crushed when the family put on a united front for Posh’s big day.

However, a source has came forward and claimed the truce was only temporary and a case of “playing nice” while the cameras were on them. An insider told Heat magazine that the Paris truce helped in part but has now made the situation more complicated as the US actress now feels she’s “done her part” and so the Beckhams “owe her one”.
