Prince Harry suffered an embarrassing moment on US TV when the top fact Americans knew about him was revealed to be he’s married to Meghan Markle.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, who  lives in Montecito, California, was chosen as the subject matter in a round of Family Feud hosted by Steve Harvey.

The gameshow, which has been airing since 1976, sees two families competing for a cash prize by naming the most popular responses to survey questions that have been posed to 100 members of the public.

In the latest episode, the Hernandez family went head-to-head with the Colleys – and were tasked with providing the six most well known facts about the Duke of Sussex, who has been living in the US since 2020.

At the beginning of the round, host Steve Harvey invited one member from both teams to approach the podium and told them that this round was about Prince Harry.

The first person to get an answer right then passes the baton back to their family, who have a chance to guess the remaining survey questions and win the round.

Within two seconds, Fabian Hernandez hit his buzzer and answered: ‘He’s married to Meghan Markle.’

Unimpressed by this response, the gameshow host said: ‘Come on, boy!’

However, the board confirmed that this answer was actually the most common fact the US population knows about the Prince.

Once Fabian was back with his team, Sofia Hernandez correctly guessed that Harry being a Prince was another survey answer. This proved to be the fourth most popular fact out of the six.

After this, Robert Hernandez said: ‘I don’t know much about him but I know [he’s] got money.’

Unfortunately for the team, Prince Harry’s wealth wasn’t one of the most common responses, which earned the Hernandez family their first strike. Each team is allowed three in total before it is passed onto their rivals.

Next, Marisa Hernandez guessed Prince William being Prince Harry’s brother would be another popular survey answer, which also didn’t feature.

Kristina Hernandez then suggested that most people would know Prince Harry is the son of Princess Diana – which was the second most common answer on the board, below his marriage to Meghan.

Following this train of thought, Fabian put forward Prince Harry’s late grandmother Queen Elizabeth – earning the Hernandez family their third strike.

Once the round was passed over to the Colley family, Drake immediately put forward Prince Harry’s ginger hair – which was the third most popular fact Americans know about the Duke.

This correct answer won the Colley family the round – with Steve Harvey going on to reveal that they would have also accepted ‘balding’ and ‘hottie!’ as a response too.

Last month, Prince Harry was named the 25th ‘hottest man of all time’ by Harper’s Bazaar magazine – beating Bradley Cooper and David Beckham in the rankings.

Months after his move to the US in 2020, Prince Harry was also named the ‘world’s sexiest royal’ by People magazine.

Earlier this year, it was revealed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell Foundation had been sending out personalised letters to unregistered voters and insisting that ‘every voice matters’ – despite insisting they are politically neutral and they have not mentioned any candidates.

In 2020 the couple did not endorse a candidate but urged Americans to vote in the ‘most important election of our lifetime’. Meghan even cold-called Americans urging them to vote.

This was interpreted by many as backing Joe Biden, including by Donald Trump, who said he was ‘no fan’ of the former Suits star and Harry luck ‘because he’s going to need it’.

The Prince and Princess of Wales will celebrate Christmas at Sandringham with King Charles and the rest of the royal family following a tumultuous year for them.

On Friday, The Mirror reported that William and Kate, both 42, will join senior members of The Firm for the annual Christmas Day Service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham on December 25.

It will be a special Christmas for the family as they come together after what has been a difficult year following Charles, 76, and Kate’s back-to-back cancer diagnoses.

Sources told the newspaper Charles, who is currently in Sandringham, is ‘delighted’ that the whole family will be together for the holidays – with the monarch reportedly overseeing the planning himself.

One insider said: ‘The King is embracing the Christmas period already and really getting into the spirit. Staff who have seen him this week remarked how happy and healthy he was looking.’

Charles and Camilla are reportedly spending the weekend at the Norfolk estate, with one source explaining how Charles is ‘enjoying time outdoors’ as he continues his cancer treatment.

Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer earlier this year while undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate.

William previously described 2024 as the ‘hardest year of my life’ as the future King opened up about the health challenges faced by his father and wife.

Kate was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer after she was admitted to the London Clinic in Marylebone for an abdominal operation in January.

While Charles is still undergoing treatment, the future Queen announced she has completed a preventative course of chemotherapy – and will make a gradual return to public life following the diagnosis.

Reports about the Royal Family’s Christmas plans come days after it was reported that Kate will undertake her most significant public engagement since she began cancer treatment as she welcomes the Emir of Qatar for his official state visit to the UK next month.

Catherine will accompany her husband Prince William to officially greet the Emir and his wife, Sheikha Jawaher, at their residence on December 3 and accompany them to Horse Guards Parade for a stunning ceremonial welcome.

The King and Queen will be waiting to greet the guests before accompanying them back to Buckingham Palace.

It is expected that the princess, who announced in September a slow and measured return to public life after the completion of her preventative chemotherapy treatment, will join the Royal Family at the palace for lunch.

But it has been confirmed that she will not attend a glittering State Banquet in the evening.

A royal source described the announcement of her attendance at some elements of the visit, however, as ‘good news’.

The princess has attended a number of high profile events such as Trooping the Colour, Remembrance events and Wimbledon over the last eleven months since she effectively withdrew from public life to focus on her health.

But next month’s appearance will be her most significant so far given that she will be playing an active role in events.

SHE’S up early for an ice-cold wash, full-body workout and £2,000 electric face mask session – and that’s all before she tackles the school run.

But the mum of four is the first to admit she is a control freak and runs a tight ship.

In a revealing new interview, Victoria, 50, has told how she is on the go from the moment she wakes up, filming the sunrise and her make-up routine to use on her social media.

“I like to find good light in front of a window because I don’t want to use crazy filters,” she explained.

“The number of people who say, ‘Why are you showing one side of your face . . . ’

“I’m like, ‘Give me a break’. I don’t have a script, I’m holding the phone and trying to film myself applying make-up at the same time.”

Once she has her face on, Victoria dashes downstairs to join husband David for a weights workout with their personal trainer Bobby.

While David, 49, then pops off for an invigorating ice bath, Posh spends 30 minutes lying under her £2,000 mega Dermalux infrared light to calm and soothe her skin.

Not a moment is wasted, though, as she uses the time to meditate or strategise.

Next it is time to dispatch the youngest of the Beckham brood, Harper, 13, off to school.

Victoria is a stickler for good manners in all four of the Beckham children, explaining: “I can’t bear kids who grunt.”

She then pops on her most prized possession, a gold watch from Golden Balls.

Inscribed with “Mummy we love you”, it was given to her by David when she got her OBE for services to fashion and charity in 2017.

Later, off she heads to her fashion HQ a couple of miles from the Beckhams’ West London mansion, dressed head to toe in her trademark black.

Gone are the low-rise jeans and crop tops of her Spice Girls days — Victoria sold off her pop star wardrobe for charity years ago.

Once at her desk, she admits: “I obsess over every single detail. Everything has to have a reason for existing. It’s great when people recognise that.”

Of course, David is a fan of her luxury beauty range.

Apparently, the former England captain usually cannot stand hand creams because the strong fragrances put him off his food. But he loves his wife’s Portofino ’97 moisturiser, priced £38.

“That’s praise, let me tell you,” said Victoria.

It is hardly surprising, since the cream was named after the pair’s romantic trip to the Italian resort when they first got together in 1997.

On her entrepreneurial eldest son, Brooklyn, 25, Victoria went on to reveal how he has inherited her obsessive nature when it comes to business decisions.

“I see a lot of me in him,” she said.

She proudly boasted how hands-on Brooklyn was when it came to creating his Cloud23 hot sauce range, which launched last month.

‘I obsess over every single detail’

“Brooklyn was all over every single aspect — not just the contents, but the bottle, the lid,” said Victoria.

“It’s not easy for him but I’ve told him he has to be patient. Look how long it’s taken me.”

Unsurprisingly, mealtimes for Victoria are tightly controlled, too. She has not eaten meat since age eight. Very occasionally, she treats herself to a vodka, lime and soda cocktail, known as a Skinny B*tch.
And she never cooks.

Victoria said: “Harper says I can burn water, so it’s probably better for everyone that I don’t.”

David once revealed his wife has the same meal every day, saying: “She only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables — she will rarely deviate from that.”

But Victoria, who has suffered from hormonal acne in the past, defended her regime, explaining: “It was because of my skin that I became very careful about what I ate.”

All those years of self-control have paid off. Speaking to The Telegraph Magazine after winning their Beauty Brand of the Year award, Victoria said she finally feels confident about her skin and has stopped stressing about what the public think of her.

She added: “Was there a time when I used to scroll through all the comments about me? Probably. But now I just don’t have the time.

“If you’d told me years ago I’d step on to a red carpet wearing only a bit of concealer and no foundation, I’d have thought you were mad — but that’s what I did last week.”

David has also won round his fiercest critics. Last year, Netflix aired the Beckham documentary, taking a look at his early years as a footballer, including when he enraged England fans by being sent off during the 1998 World Cup for kicking an Argentina player.

We’re glass half full people. All of us

Victoria revealed: “After it came out, a man left a note on David’s car saying, ‘Dear David, on behalf of the British public, we’re really sorry. We loved the documentary’. That was really, really sweet.

“I got emotional when I watched the part with David and me dancing. Even Brooklyn said, ‘How many takes did you need for that?’. But nothing was rehearsed.”

The Beckhams are not the sort to complain, at least not publicly.

Victoria said: “We’re glass half full people. All of us.

“We were watching Inside Out [a children’s film featuring emotions as characters] the other day, and the kids said, ‘You’re Joy, Mum’.

David Beckham praised his wife Victoria Beckham on Thursday as he celebrated her Dover Street store’s 10th anniversary. 

The former footballer, 49, took to his Instagram to share an adorable family snap of himself, his daughter Harper, 13, and his wife, 50, all smiles as he congratulated his wife.

He captioned the snap with: ‘Celebrating 10yrs of Victoria’s Dover Street store. Love what you’ve created with the space @roseuniake @victoriabeckham.’

During the event, Victoria looked nothing short of sensational as she cut a stylish figure in a black lace bodysuit with a sheer design and a plunging neckline.

The fashion designer teamed the bodysuit with a chic oversized tuxedo which boasted satin lapels and opted for a pair of black flared trousers.

Meanwhile, David wrapped up warm in a stylish navy blue double-breasted coat and navy trousers.

In another sweet snap, David beamed as he posed with his daughter Harper who wrapped up warm for the evening wearing a chic black coat.

During the event, the president and co-owner of Inter Miami CF appeared in his element as he popped on a pair of green Bowers & Wilkins headphones and got the party going with his DJ skills.

Her store’s 10th-anniversary bash comes after she admitted she ‘cares less’ about the idea of being famous now.

Victoria shot to fame alongside Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Melanie C as part of the Spice Girls in the late 1990s.

They became the best-selling girl group of all time, and Victoria later had a brief solo career before going on into the world of fashion.

But the star – who is also known for her marriage to footballer David – recently admitted that the idea of fame doesn’t really appeal now.

She told Harper’s Bazaar magazine: ‘I suppose it used to be fun to go out and be chased by paparazzi walking down Bond Street – and you would dress knowing you were going to get that. I don’t want that anymore.’

‘I’ve been doing this too long. I suppose I did when I was growing up but, nowadays, there’s just too much going on; too busy; too many kids to worry about.’

‘I woke up at 50, and I gave a s*** less.’

Victoria has Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, as well as daughter Harper with David, and her eldest has recently spoken out about being a nepo baby.

Brooklyn told Grazia: ‘Obviously I am one. But I couldn’t help how I was born, at all.’

While he understands why the public can feel irked by nepo babies, Brooklyn said he tries to ignore the ‘rubbish’ people say rather than dwell on it.

He added: ‘There’s always going to be people that say rubbish. But as long as you do something that makes you happy and you’re kind to people, that’s all that matters.’

‘I’m always gonna get it, no matter what I do. And I’m fine with that. It makes me work harder, because I’m like, I’m gonna prove these people wrong.’

Prince William has spoken in depth about a heartbreaking realisation he had when he was just a child in a candid documentary.

The future king has served as patron of the homeless charity The Passage since 2019, following in the footsteps of his mother who also championed the cause. And it was the first charity organisation that William visited with Princess Diana in 1993.

Speaking in the two-part documentary Prince William : We Can End Homelessness, William reflected on the visit saying: “My mother took me to The Passage; she took Harry and I both there. I must have been 11 at the time, maybe 10. I had never been to anything like that before, and I was a bit anxious about what to expect. I remember having some good conversations, playing chess, chatting and that’s when it dawned on me that there were other people out there who don’t have the same life as you do. You know, when you’re quite small, you just think life is what you see in front of you and you don’t really have concept to look elsewhere.

“It’s when you meet people, as I did then, who put a different perspective in your head and say, ‘Well, I was living on the street last night,’ and you’re like, ‘Woah.’ I remember that happening.”

William also spoke about his mother’s natural way of putting those around her at ease. “My mother went about her usual, making everyone feel relaxed, having a laugh and joking with everyone,” he recalled. “I remember at the time kind of thinking, ‘Well, if everyone doesn’t have a home, they’re all going to be really sad.’ But it was incredible how happy an environment it was.”

The Passage, which was founded in 1980 to provide practical support and a wide range of services to help transform the lives of homeless people. Since his first visit with his mother, William has returned on a number of occasions to show his support for the charity and in 2009, he slept rough for a night to better understand the plight of those without a roof over their heads.

It’s a cause close to William’s heart, not least because his late mother Princess Diana raised him to understand how fortunate life behind the palace wales is. It’s a message he, in turn, is passing on to his own children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

“I am starting to introduce homelessness to my children on the school run. The first few times I thought, ‘Do I bring this up or should I wait to see if anybody noticed?’ Sure enough they did and they were just sort-of silent,” he said. “After I said what was going on, I could see their brains try to work out what that means. I do think it’s really important that we start those conversations when the children are small so they’re not just living, you know, in their own little worlds.”

Prince William was just 15 when his mother Princess Diana died. But her influence continues to shape his life to this very day.

William has spoken on a number of occasions about the loss of his mother, who was tragically killed at the age of 36 in a car crash in Paris. And she was at the forefront of his mind when he revisited one of the most impactful moments of his childhood in a recent documentary.

In the show, titled Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, William reflected on how his mother Diana first introduced him to the issue of homelessness by taking him and Harry to The Passage, a UK charity supporting those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, when he was 11.

And he shared a touching memory about watching his mum interact with those around them. “My mother went about her usual way, making everyone feel relaxed, having a laugh and joking with everyone,” he recalled. “I remember at the time kind of thinking, ‘Well, if everyone doesn’t have a home, they’re all going to be really sad.’ But it was incredible how happy an environment it was.”

Reflecting further on the experience, William continued, “I remember having some good conversations, playing chess, chatting and that’s when it dawned on me that there were other people out there who don’t have the same life as you do. You know, when you’re quite small, you just think life is what you see in front of you and you don’t really have concept to look elsewhere. It’s when you meet people, as I did then, who put a different perspective in your head and say, ‘Well, I was living on the street last night,’ and you’re like, ‘Woah.’ I remember that happening.”

The Passage was founded in 1980 to provide practical support and a wide range of services to help transform the lives of homeless people. Since his first visit with his mother, William has returned on a number of occasions to show his support for the charity; in 2009, he slept rough for a night with Centrepoint to better understand the plight of those without a roof over their heads.

Ending homelessness is an issue close to William’s heart, not least because his late mother was such a champion of the cause. Princess Diana also raised her sons to understand how fortunate life their life behind the palace walls was – and it’s a message William is now passing on to his own children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

“I am starting to introduce homelessness to my children on the school run. The first few times I thought, ‘Do I bring this up or should I wait to see if anybody noticed?’ Sure enough they did and they were just sort-of silent,” he said. “After I said what was going on, I could see their brains try to work out what that means. I do think it’s really important that we start those conversations when the children are small so they’re not just living, you know, in their own little worlds.”

Prince Harry claimed in his tell-all memoir Spare that the older generation of royals have a “nearly zero-tolerance prohibition on all physical contact”.

“No hugs, no kisses, no pats. Now and then, maybe a light touching of cheeks – on special occasions,” he wrote. The Prince further claimed that his father didn’t hug him after breaking the news that his mother Princess Diana had died in a car crash in 1997, and instead just placed a hand on his knee. He wrote: “What I do remember with stunning clarity is that I did not cry. Not a tear. My father did not hug me.”

However, his assertions have been heavily disputed by those close to the King, while royal watchers have pointed to Charles’ open displays of affection over the years. Robert Jobson, author of Charles’ biography Our King, said the monarch has “always been a pretty good hugger, pretty relaxed about it”.

The royal expert added: “The people around the Royal Family can be strict, but the actual royals themselves have always been fairly relaxed. He [the King] is quite tactile and always has been. He’s got a twinkle in his eye.”

A Palace source further told The Telegraph that Charles “is a genuinely warm and affectionate man who is not embarrassed to express that in a public way. He’s a human and relatable person”. And in her book Charles: Victim or Villain?, Penny Junor also contradicted claims later made by Harry. “He fools around with the boys, they tease each other, laugh, joke, rough and tumble, and even hug and kiss,” she wrote.

Recalling a last dinner party in a hotel restaurant, Junor said that in the middle of the dinner “Harry got to his feet and, in front of a table full of people, made a little speech to thank ‘Papa’ as both boys call him (rhymes with super), for giving him such a wonderful holiday. He then walked smartly up to his father and smothered his face in kisses, until, in mock embarrassment, the prince begged for mercy. It was a touching scene…”

And when William and Harry were small, “one of the biggest problems Charles’ valets had was keeping his suits clean,” Junor claimed. “Whenever Charles arrived home at Highgrove by helicopter, it would land in the front field, where sheep graze. As soon as William and Harry heard it overhead, they could come running out to meet him.

“Once it had landed safely, they would race across the field and jump up into his arms for a hug, smearing one suit after another with the sheep droppings they had trodden in on the way.” While Charles will show most of his physical affection behind closed doors, there have been plenty of instances when it has been captured on camera. Throughout William and Harry’s childhood, he was seen playing with the boys, sharing jokes, and warmly hugging them.

And there are more recent instances. The King was seen bending down to kiss his grandchildren, Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte at the coronation rehearsal at Westminster Abbey. And little Louis famously went to sit on his grandfather’s lap during the Platinum Jubilee, with Charles lovingly wrapping his arms around the little boy.

The King’s affection is not only limited to family members. Earlier this year, a New Zealand women’s rugby player surprised Charles by asking him for a hug at a Buckingham Palace reception. In response, the beaming King said “why not” – and was then warmly mobbed by a group of delighted players.

“It’s cream version but still princess,” Waterhouse wrote below the upbeat montage

Suki Waterhouse is channeling Princess Diana’s bold style.

Last week, the 32-year-old actress and singer made a fashion splash on TikTok with a sartorial tribute to the late Princess of Wales. The quick clip showed Waterhouse modeling a whimsical vintage dress by Zandra Rhodes, the same style that Princess Diana wore several times in the 1980s.

“It’s cream version but still princess,” the star captioned the clip of herself laughing and twirling in the drop-waist dress with neutral heels.

The video flashed to throwback photos of Princess Diana in a pale pink version of the frock and was overlaid with audio from The Devil Wears Prada. Waterhouse mimed the dialogue from the 2006 comedy where Anne Hathaway’s character told Emily Blunt’s character, “Yeah, I am” wearing “the Chanel boots” after her makeover. In text displayed on the video, the Daisy Jones & the Six star replaced the movie lines with her own version: “The Zandra Rhodes dress that Diana wore to dinner in Kyoto? Yeah…I am.”

The Zandra Rhodes brand confirmed the provenance of Waterhouse’s look on Instagram, explaining that the “it girl” was wearing the label’s “Buttons and Bows” dress from 1986.

The dress came to be after Princess Diana popped into the label’s London shop and was struck by the design for the dress, which was planned to be made in black with a fluorescent pink print. The designer suggested switching the colors to pink and white, and Diana commissioned the combination. It was later made for her following two fittings at her ​​Kensington Palace apartment, and the color scheme and print were kept exclusive to her, Kerry Taylor Auctions reported.

The ethereal look with off-the-shoulder neckline, beading and zigzag hem apparently became a favorite in her royal rotation, and the Princess of Wales wore it to a Torvill and Dean party in 1985, an official state visit to Japan with the future King Charles in 1986 and a benefit for the London City Ballet in 1987.

A decade later, the Zandra Rhodes dress was part of the lot at the Christie’s of New York auction Diana held shortly before her tragic death in 1997. In 2011, it changed hands once more and was bought by Historic Royal Palaces for almost $32,000, the Daily Mail reported.

While speaking to Forbes in 2021, Rhodes reflected on what it was like to work with Princess Diana and the practical mindset she had about how things should fit.

“She would always check that the dress was not too daring or indiscreet. Especially the skirt as she got out of the car. She said that the photographers would always be there to get the wrong angle!” the designer told the outlet, adding that the royal didn’t need to do much to make an outfit pop.

“She was so natural and beautiful that simple pearls looked fabulous!” Rhodes added about what accessories Diana liked.

The designer, who dressed the late Princess of Wales for her one and only Met appearance, spoke about her Dior look in the new series ‘In Vogue: The 90s’

Princess Diana had a specific vision for her Met Gala dress in 1996.

In the new Hulu docuseries In Vogue: The 90s, fashion designer John Galliano spoke about the parameters that the late Princess of Wales had when it came time to design her dress for what would become her one and only Met appearance. Galliano was then creative director at Dior and spoke about the magic of being tapped to create a bespoke look for the princess.

“I remember one day we all jumped into this old van, and we went to London, where we met Princess Diana. She’d been invited to the Met, and she would wear one of my dresses,” Galliano said in the first volume of the documentary, which premiered on Sept. 13.

Former British Vogue editor Edward Enninful described the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual benefit as the “most influential red carpet in the world,” raising the stakes for Princess Diana’s fashion statement at the party. Diana made her debut at the Met Gala in New York City in December 1996 with her friend and former Harper’s Bazaar editor Liz Tilberis, and Princess Diana attended just a few months after her divorce was finalized from the future King Charles.

“It was like a blessing. I mean like, wow,” Galliano said in the series. “We went to Kensington Palace and discussed drawings. I was trying to push for pink, but she was not having it. ‘No, not the pink!’ That was real, real fun.”

“So we did the dress and subsequent fittings, and it was beautifully done,” he said of the “correct” construction. “Fast-forward to the event, and I just remember her getting out of the car,” Galliano said — and gasped. “I couldn’t believe it. She’d ripped the corset out.”

“She didn’t want to wear the corset,” he said about the fashion-forward move, in true Diana style. “She felt so liberated. She’d torn the corset out. The dress was much more… sensuous,” he emphasized, recalling her electric ascent up the Met steps.

Princess Diana’s Most Glamorous Looks of All Time

“I mean, wow! Diana was my first couture client,” Galliano said.

The British designer was one of couture’s most influential visionaries through the 1990s and early 2000s, before he upended his career in 2011 following a string of antisemitic and racist incidents. He was fired from Dior as creative director, stepped back from fashion and returned to design for Maison Margiela, holding the post since 2014.

Much has been made of Princess Diana’s fashion splash at the Met Gala in 1996, where she wore a boudoir-like navy silk slip dress with black lace trim from Galliano’s debut couture collection as the creative director of Dior. She completed the look with a matching silk robe-like topper (which she later removed), a statement pearl-and-sapphire choker necklace and the mini navy quilted Dior bag that the label renamed the Lady Dior in her honor.

The late Princess of Wales was known as Lady Diana Spencer before she married the future King in 1981, and the handheld bag became one of her go-to purses.

During the 1990s, Diana began to experiment more with her style, sporting shorter hemlines and sexier silhouettes. The 1996 Met Gala would ultimately prove to be her only appearance at the event, as she died following a car crash in Paris in August 1997. The late Princess of Wales is remembered as a style icon, and her daughters-in-law Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle continue to take style cues from her today.

“I think all of us were so captivated and fascinated by Princess Diana,” Vogue editor Anna Wintour said in the new docuseries. “At that time, she was the most famous woman in the world. She was enjoying fashion and the spotlight that she put on particularly British designers.”

One picture may be worth a thousand words, but Victoria Beckham also had a generous written sentiment to share along with a beautiful new shot of her husband David Beckham and their nearly month-old baby daughter, Harper Seven Beckham.

“I took this beautiful picture and wanted to share it with you, baby Harper cuddling Daddy! x VB,” Victoria Tweeted Sunday morning as she linked to the photo.

The Beckhams had earlier shared a similar shot on Sunday, July 17.

At that time, the proud parents took turns posing with their then-week-old daughter.

“Daddy’s little girl!” Victoria, 37, captioned a shot of David as he rubbed noses with their baby girl, while David, 36, also snapped a shot of his wife and daughter snoozing, writing, “I took this picture of my two girls sleeping.”

Harper Seven arrived July 10 in Los Angeles to join big brothers Brooklyn Joseph, 12, Romeo James, 8½, and Cruz David, 6½.
