Harper Beckham wowed her mother Victoria Beckham, as the pair attended a chic event in London as a duo.

The designer, 50, was at the Claridge’s Hotel in London this Tuesday, November 6, as she received Harper’s Bazaar Entrepreneur of the Year Award – and who better than her daughter Harper to hand her the award?

For the occasion, Victoria Beckham cut an classy figure with an ivory silk trouser suit, while the 13-year-old – whom Victoria shares with husband David Beckham – donned a silky white dress to match.

Taking to the stage to accept her award, given to her for her “innovation and dedication to the British and global fashion industry”, the former Spice Girl couldn’t contain her glee as she praised her “poise” and “elegance.”

“I am so, so proud of you”, she said, according to The Daily Mail, “I mean getting up on stage in front of a room full of people is scary and you did it with such poise and such elegance.” The youngest child of the Beckham children has had plenty of practice at public events as she has previously gone to her fashion events, and the premiere of her parents’ Netflix documentary.

But while she attended the 2024 Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards, Victoria Beckham skipped the red carpet, sneaking into the event without having to pose with her peers – something she later accepted to do with her daughter Harper, after being presented with her accolade. Meanwhile, stars in the likes of Sophie Turner, Maya Jama and even This Morning’s Cat Deeley all posed for photographs.

While she has impressed her mother, Harper Beckham has also managed to gather a large following on social media, stealing the show with her Instagram posts as Victoria has often shown her off on her own platforms. Victoria once branded her daughter as her “mini-me” in a recent social media post, commenting that Harper is “following in mummy’s footsteps” when the teen revealed she had plans to create her own brand.

Both David and Victoria have both used the hashtag #HarperSeven when sharing photos of their youngest child, which references her full name – Harper Seven Beckham. Victoria has also made a huge move in securing Harper’s future as she has incorporated a business called H7B Limited. It will funnel any future earnings for Harper, according to the Sun. Posh Spice and a solicitor are listed as its director. Harper could soon earn millions from huge brand deals as well as the potential to launch her own business, making her dreams come true.

Back in October, during one of her mother’s events, Harper took to the dream station that was upheld at the launch party, putting pen to paper to write down her thoughts. Harper wrote on two pieces of card with the teenager hoping she would “create an amazing brand when I’m older.” In a second card filled out by Harper, she wrote that she wanted “everyone to be happy in life.”

Meghan Markle channeled the fashion prowess of Princess Diana as she recreated her late mother-in-law’s iconic blazer ensemble upon her return to Los Angeles.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, and Prince Harry, 39, arrived back in the US on Monday after an 18-hour flight home from their three-day trip to Nigeria.

Mother-of-two Meghan sported a sophisticated, 90s-inspired outfit as she landed at Los Angeles International Airport, typing quickly on her phone as she walked.

The actress-turned-royal donned a khaki linen and wool mix blazer from Loro Piana, called the Jamilla, which retails for around £2,900.

Underneath her jacket, the Duchess wore a cashmere and silk mix sweater – the Takao Jumper – also from Loro Piana, which costs £990.

In the autumn of 1994, the late Princess of Wales was snapped shopping in Knightsbridge sporting a very similar ensemble

Meghan co-ordinated the ensemble with a pair of £815 Chris canvas and leather slippers from Yves Saint Laurent in the gold brown colour way.

She then tied it the ensemble together with pair of fitted, cropped white jeans – a style she has favoured multiple times in the past.

But eagle-eyed royal fans may notice how similar the outfit is to one famously worn by Princess Diana while out shopping in London.

In the autumn of 1994, the late Princess of Wales was snapped shopping in Knightsbridge sporting a chic blazer and white trousers.

She opted to wear a pair of oversized sunglasses, a cream turtleneck with a jade green blazer and an ivory and brown back elegantly slung over her shoulder.

She paired this with a brown belt and some white skinny jeans, along with shoes that look almost identical to the flats worn by Meghan.

This isn’t the first time the Duchess has channeled her mother-in-law. During the tour in Nigeria, Meghan looked to her for inspiration when choosing her accessories.

Meghan sported chunky gold earrings from Lanvin, her AURate collar necklace and an array of dazzling bracelets, as well as her wedding rings.

The jewels resembled those worn by Diana when she visited Nigeria herself with her then-husband Charles, just two years before they separated.

Meghan added a bit more glamour by wearing Diana’s gold Cartier Tank Française watch.

The gold £17,800 watch was worn by Diana at a number of occasions, including a 1997 visit to London’s Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple and an engagement at the British Lung Foundation that same year.

Meghan is known to be a fan of the elegant timepiece and splurged on her own two-tone version back in 2015 when Suits was picked up for a third season.

Meghan has been gifted several items from Diana’s collection. They include Diana’s butterfly earrings and gold bracelet which she wore on their Australian tour in 2018.

Yet the watch is a favourite and she has been spotted wearing it often. The watch had been gifted to Diana by her father on her 21st birthday.

On May 10, Meghan was spotted wearing the AURate collar necklace with a chic white suit

Harry and Meghan were spotted arriving in Los Angeles on Monday after a marathon 18-hour flight from Nigeria amid a row over their charity’s operating status in California.

The couple, were pictured being whisked away by a car at Los Angeles International Airport’s ‘Private Suites’ facility.

The Duke and Duchess have called the semi-royal tour ‘fantastic’ and said it will be the ‘first of many memorable trips’ – which included a moment where Meghan hailed Nigeria as ‘her country’ after a DNA test suggested she was part-Nigerian.

They landed back in the United States a few hours before Californian authorities confirmed a ‘delinquency’ row involving their charitable endeavour, the Archewell Foundation, had been resolved following confusion over an unprocessed cheque.

California’s Department of Justice listed the charity, which brought in around $9million (£7.1million) less in donations in 2022 than it did the year before, as ‘not in good standing’ because of an alleged failure to pay a $200 renewal fee.

Harper Beckham supported her mother Victoria Beckham at an awards ceremony earlier this week at which the former Spice Girls member was herself honoured.

Victoria, 50, was among those celebrated at the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards on Tuesday. She joined a host of other celebrities at the event, which was held at Claridge’s in London, and was accompanied by Harper, 13.

Harper is the youngest of fashion designer Victoria’s four children with retired footballer David Beckham, 49. The couple are also parents to sons Brooklyn Beckham, 25, Romeo Beckham, 22, and Cruz Beckham, 19, together.

At the awards ceremony, Harper introduced her mother on stage to collect the accolade for Entrepreneur of the Year. As reported by Harper’s Bazaar, she said: “The winner is someone I have always looked up to. [She’s shown] me the value of working hard, dreaming big and setting my standards. […] Tonight I am so proud to present the Entrepreneur Of The Year award to a truly inspiring woman who means the world to me, my amazing mummy, Victoria Beckham.”

Before accepting the award, Victoria said at the podium that Harper had given the introduction with “such poise and such elegance”. She then said to her daughter: “I am so proud of the incredible young lady that you have become.” It comes following reports that David and Victoria are preparing for Harper to have a career in the public eye in the future. The speculation comes amid the Sun reporting that Victoria has incorporated a business, H7B Limited, for the future and it’s been teased that Harper could land lucrative brand deals when she’s older.

A source told the Sun: “There is huge demand from brands who see her as someone lots of other teens would look up to. Posh and Becks can see her potential and she wants to try some things out in the public eye.” They added that the “wheels are in motion” to “slowly book some jobs” for Harper. Whilst a source also told the outlet: “Right now, this is purely an administrative thing.” They said that Harper’s parents have “no immediate plans” for anything “commercial,” with the source describing it as an “exciting” option for her in the future.

Just last month, it was teased that Harper hopes to have a brand of her own in the future. Victoria teased that Harper was following in her footsteps at the launch of her new perfume Reverie in New York. As previously reported, one clip shared by Victoria showed Harper writing her hopes for the future on pieces of card, including that she will “create an amazing brand when I’m older”. Victoria wrote in her caption: “Harper Seven following in mummy’s footsteps and putting her hopes and dreams out there”.

Prince Harry is reported to have opined that Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, possesses the qualities to lead the royal family into modernity, according to royal biographer Angela Levin.

 

 

In an interview with Uncancelled’s Dan Wooton, Levin delved into the couple’s perspectives on the monarchy’s need for updates and Meghan’s potential role in such a transformation.

Harry] thinks that it was very bad that Meghan wasn’t questioned about what should be done to make the royal family up to date,” Angela said in the interview published on Monday, April 8, about the dynamic Prince Harry and Meghan shared with the firm before they moved to California.

And [Meghan] said herself that she felt that they should have asked her what should be done rather than Kate because she is a self-made woman and she’s got much more experience,” she went on.

Levin, who spent considerable time with Harry while penning the biography “Harry: Conversations with the Prince,” also reflected on Queen Elizabeth II’s efforts to accommodate the Sussexes within the royal fold. The late queen’s concessions, including offering top aides and allowing Meghan the flexibility to continue her acting career, highlighted attempts to integrate Meghan’s preferences into royal life.

However, Levin suggests a premeditated plan by Meghan to exit the royal setting, fueled by ambitions extending beyond her royal title and financial expectations.

The biographer further critiqued the Sussexes’ motives, accusing them of aiming to dismantle the traditional royal framework and alter media dynamics, particularly the print press. Harry’s legal battles against media entities over privacy violations and defamation underscore his contentious relationship with the press, aligning with Levin’s portrayal of a broader strategy to reshape media engagement.

 

In a surprising turn of events, Prince William and Prince Harry have reportedly joined forces to expel Queen Camilla from the palace, fueled by newly surfaced evidence related to their mother, Princess Diana. This dramatic development has sent shockwaves through the royal family and raised questions about the stability of the monarchy.

 

 

The relationship between the brothers has often been a subject of intense public interest, especially in the wake of Harry’s departure from royal duties and his move to the United States. However, the emergence of this evidence seems to have rekindled a bond between William and Harry, united by their shared desire to protect their mother’s legacy. Sources close to the royals suggest that the evidence presented points to troubling interactions involving Camilla and the circumstances surrounding Diana’s life and untimely death.

As the details of this evidence began to circulate, it reignited old wounds for both princes. Diana, who was often portrayed as the “People’s Princess,” was beloved by the public but faced immense scrutiny and pressure from the royal institution. In the years following her tragic death in 1997, rumors and speculation about her relationship with Camilla have persisted, painting a picture of rivalry and betrayal that has never fully faded. Many believe that Camilla’s relationship with Charles played a significant role in the strain on Diana’s marriage, leading to a breakdown that was highly publicized and deeply painful for the royal family.

With the weight of this historical context, William and Harry’s decision to act against Camilla appears to be driven by a desire to honor their mother and rectify perceived injustices. Reports indicate that the brothers met privately to discuss their shared concerns, and they concluded that taking a stand against Camilla was necessary for their family and for Diana’s memory. This unprecedented alliance signifies a pivotal moment for the brothers, as they put aside past grievances in pursuit of a common cause.

The potential consequences of this alliance are far-reaching. For Camilla, being expelled from the palace would not only impact her role within the royal family but also affect her public image. Once regarded as a controversial figure, she has worked hard to establish herself as a respected member of the monarchy. However, this new alliance between William and Harry could threaten her position and lead to significant changes within the palace hierarchy.

The public reaction to these developments is likely to be mixed. Many royal watchers and fans of Diana may view William and Harry’s actions as a noble effort to protect their mother’s legacy, while others may criticize the brothers for their confrontational approach. The monarchy has long been a symbol of stability, and such internal conflicts could create a sense of uncertainty among the public, who often look to the royal family for unity and continuity.

Additionally, this incident raises broader questions about the future of the monarchy itself. As younger generations of royals grapple with their roles in a changing world, the handling of family disputes and the preservation of historical legacies become increasingly relevant. William and Harry’s actions may set a precedent for how personal and familial grievances are addressed within the royal context.

In conclusion, the reported alliance between Prince William and Prince Harry to kick Queen Camilla out of the palace amid evidence related to Princess Diana is a significant moment in royal history. This development not only highlights the enduring impact of Diana’s legacy but also underscores the complexities of family dynamics within the royal family. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the monarchy will navigate this crisis and what it means for the future of the institution.

Meghan Markle’s strained relationship with her father has drawn significant media attention in recent years. The father-daughter pair have remained out of contact, with the Duchess of Sussex reportedly restricting her father’s access to his grandchildren due to their rift.

Meghan Markle, now a part of the British royal family through her marriage to Prince Harry, shares two children with him. While she maintains a close bond with her mother, Doria Ragland, her relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, took a different turn, resulting in a well-publicized estrangement.

Meghan and her father used to have a warm relationship. In a 2021 interview, Thomas shared an emotional memory of his daughter’s birth in 1981, noting that he was the first to hold her. “I fell in love with her and I’d been that way for 40 years,” said the Pennsylvania native who has two older children from his first marriage.

Meghan also reflected on her childhood in an essay for Elle magazine and revealed her parents met in the late ’70s. Her father worked as a lighting director for a soap opera, while her mother was a temp at the studio.

After marrying in 1979, the couple moved to an affordable, tree-lined neighborhood in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley. Despite the close-knit bond she shared with both parents in her early years, Meghan’s family life shifted when her parents divorced in 1987.

As she grew up, the public figure pursued a career in acting, eventually crossing paths with Prince Harry in 2016. Yet, in the midst of her rising success and high-profile relationship, her father made a mistake by entertaining the media which later contributed to the strain in their relationship.

Amid Meghan and Prince Harry’s engagement in 2017, Thomas faced health issues, including a heart attack just days before the wedding in May 2018. He shared that stress, partly due to his eldest daughter’s public remarks against Meghan, worsened his condition.

After a brief stay at a hospital in Mexico, Thomas expressed concerns about his health, fearing he might suffer another heart attack. During that same period, news broke that he wouldn’t attend the wedding and his ill-health was partly the reason why.

Just ahead of the ceremony, Meghan announced in a statement from Kensington Palace, “Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding.” As a result, Thomas missed the opportunity to walk his daughter down the aisle though he felt her mother was a good choice to do the honors.

In his absence, then Prince Charles ultimately walked Meghan down the aisle. Reflecting on this, Thomas expressed his appreciation saying, “I certainly couldn’t have asked for a better replacement. Although, I would love to have done that.”

In addition to his health woes, the father of three missed the wedding following backlash over staged photos he sold to a photo agency. He explained that he hadn’t intended to harm Meghan or the Royal Family, but was frustrated with paparazzi who had repeatedly caught him in unflattering situations, often misrepresenting him.

Thomas divulged that he had declined high-paying interview offers since Meghan started dating the prince. He accepted a smaller fee from a photo agency, hoping the images would improve his public image. However, he later admitted the photos looked “stupid and hammy” and expressed regret over his decision.

Thomas’s secret collaboration with a British paparazzo for staged photos caused embarrassment for the Royal Family ahead of the wedding, especially after Prince Harry’s earlier pleas for media restraint.

Chelsea Davy Set to Take Bold Stand Against Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

In a surprising turn of events that has sent royal watchers into a frenzy, Chelsea Davy, Prince Harry’s former long-term girlfriend, appears to be ready to take a stand against her past association with the Duke of Sussex. The 39-year-old entrepreneur, who has largely stayed out of the limelight since her breakup with Harry, recently made headlines for reasons unrelated to her successful jewelry business. Rumors are swirling that Chelsea is preparing to take legal action against both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, accusing them of defamation.

This alleged legal confrontation, fueled by viral gossip and insider whispers, paints a picture of simmering tensions and unresolved grievances. Now a successful businesswoman and mother of two, Chelsea is happily married to hotel heir Sam Cutmore-Scott. Yet, her past relationship with Prince Harry seems to have resurfaced with a vengeance. But what could have triggered this bold move from the typically poised and private Chelsea?

Prince Louis is growing up in a Royal Family that is evolving, with his parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, aiming to modernize the monarchy. As the fourth in line to the throne, Louis is unlikely to become king but still holds a meaningful role within the family, much like the siblings of past kings and queens.

However, some question whether it’s fair for Louis to constantly be in the shadow of his older brother, Prince George, who is destined for the throne. Perhaps it’s time for the Royal Family to consider allowing younger royals to step away from traditional roles and explore their own paths.

Prince Harry’s experience as the “spare” – a position that often felt secondary to his brother William – might serve as a lesson. Growing up without the same future responsibilities, he ultimately chose a different direction, seeking independence beyond royal duties. This could inspire a similar approach for Prince Louis and others in his position.

Why Prince Louis should be stripped of his royal titles

The estranged prince has spoken out about how he’s worried that both Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will meet the same fate as him in the future; that they won’t be taken care of in the same way as Prince George, who one day will be king.

By all accounts, William and Kate Middleton want to modernize the monarchy and raise their children as normally as possible. But if it it’s ‘normal’ they’re striving for, isn’t it time for both Charlotte and Louis to choose their own futures?

If you ask me, Charlotte and Louis would greatly benefit from having their royal titles stripped, even if it seems like an outlandish step to take. Put simply: it’s time for the monarchy to let their youngest members decide for themselves.

First and foremost, the royal titles are viewed by some as an ancient custom. With the Royal Family having been on the receiving end of plenty of criticism in recent years, dropping the titles would better connect them to the public. Not only that, but wouldn’t it also make them more popular?

“A person of great importance”

If Prince Louis lost all of his titles, he might grow up to be a very important person who builds links between the royalty and regular people, which is very important for the Royal Family’s long-term survival.

Prince Harry chose to go on a unique trip that would take him away from royal life. Some people who know a lot about the royal family have said that Prince Louis might be urged to look for work outside of Buckingham Palace. Still having a royal title will make things a little strange if that turns out to be the case and if Louis himself wants a “normal” life.

There’s no doubt that Prince William and Kate Middleton want the best for their kids. So, I think they could take away both Louis and Charlotte’s royal names right now. They probably won’t, which shows that the royalty is still very far from being modern.

Meghan Markle recently visited the non-profit organization Girls. Inc to share about the bullying problem that is strongly affecting the young generation, especially girls. HalfTheStory founder – Larissa May – said this was a meaningful visit for teenage girls who are still confused and bewildered by a series of negative things on social media.

Speaking about the visit, Larissa said: “We did an activity where we discussed a series of possible scenarios. Meghan also talked about how she was one of the most bullied people in the world.”

Following the meeting, Meghan partnered with Oprah Winfrey’s foundation and charity to create a new program called Social Media U, which focuses on combating cyberbullying. The Duchess of Sussex said the educational initiative aims to “equip girls with the essential tools to thrive in the digital age, fostering healthier and more balanced relationships with technology.”

This is not the first time Prince Harry’s wife has spoken out about her experience of being bullied on social media. In August, she confided: “I never want anyone else to feel that way and I don’t want anyone else to plan that. I don’t want anyone else to feel like they can’t be trusted.”

Kate Middleton and Prince William made an unexpected request to Harry and Meghan.

 

Meghan Markle is not willing to mend fences with the royal family at the expense of her kids.

Royal expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror that Prince William and Princess Kate reached out to Meghan and Prince Harry, asking them to bring their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the UK for visit.

However, the Duchess of Sussex is believed to have put her foot down and refused, owing to security threats and unwarranted media scrutiny the kids will generate.

 

 

 

“There is no way Meghan would bring the children to the UK,” the royal expert told the outlet.

“William and Kate have suggested that Meghan and Harry bring the children and that the two couples and their families try to make up,” he explained, “but the suggestion is not leading anywhere so far.”

It comes as the Duke of Sussex prepares to return to his home country to mark 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games next month.

It’s unclear whether the Suits alum will accompany the royal, as the source claimed Archie and Lilibet will only travel to the UK on a condition that Meghan does so too.
