As many Beckham fans have seen lately, Victoria Beckham and David Beckham’s daughter, Harper Beckham, is growing up fast. Not only has she been seen in pricey ensembles, but she’s been experimenting with fashion and make-up like her mom, and apparently, David is allegedly not a big fan of this.

Insiders recently told Closer Online UK that David isn’t a big fan of Harper’s recent changes and is worried she’ll “morph” into her mom.

“David is concerned that Vic is trying to morph Harper into her,” they said. “He’s worried about their teenage daughter not only being thrust further into the spotlight but also feels she has to grow up too fast because of her famous family.”

They added how protective both of them are over Harper, saying, “Vic and David have seen how affected the boys have been by criticism and backlash growing up, and they’re even more protective of Harper, given girls are typically far more impressionable at this age.”

Now, this isn’t a jab at Victoria necessarily, it just seems like David is afraid of his daughter growing up too fast in the spotlight; which is a totally fair fear! And amid these concerns, insiders said Victoria is reassuring David everything will be okay.

The insider added, “Vic has also assured David that she is just as conscious as he is about protecting their daughter. She has vowed not to go overboard and keep a healthy balance to ensure Harper doesn’t grow up too fast.”

For those who don’t know, Victoria and David married in 1999 after getting together in 1997. Since then, they’ve welcomed four children named Brooklyn, born in 1999, Romeo, born in 2002, Cruz, born in 2005, and Harper, born in 2011.
