Victoria Beckham posts cute birthday snap of daughter Harper with estranged son Brooklyn - he's going to be 'furious': KATIE HIND

By KATIE HIND, CONSULTANT EDITOR SHOWBUSINESS Published: 00:34, 11 July 2026 | Updated: 01:16, 11 July 2026 She's the girl who appears to have all a teenager could desire – right down to plans for her very own beauty range, just like her mother Victoria. But Harper Beckham’s 15th birthday yesterday was marred by the lack of public congratulation from her estranged big brother Brooklyn, and his wife Nicola Peltz. Parents Victoria and David were quick to laud their only daughter. David uploaded a sweet gallery of pictures to Instagram paying tribute to ‘my pretty lady’ while Victoria called her ‘my best friend’. Neither mentioned Brooklyn by name but Victoria’s post appeared to show a picture of Brooklyn with a toddler Harper giggling with delight, before being removed from the post moments later, without explanation. Beckham-watchers have been quick to point out that Brooklyn is said to be ‘furious’ that his parents keep posting pictures of him online. Both of Harper’s other brothers, Romeo and Cruz, joined the public love-in, posting their own cute tributes. Even Jackie Apostel, girlfriend of Cruz, made a wonderfully warm post calling Harper my ‘built-in bestie’, while Kim Turnbull, Romeo’s girlfriend, referred to the teen as ‘lil sis’ in her own tribute post. Was this, one wonders a subtle dig at Nicola, who as the only girl in a family of six boys was initially thought to have bonded with Harper, even referring to her as ‘my baby sis’ in a post from the pre-feud days in 2023? Victoria’s post showed a picture of Brooklyn with a toddler Harper giggling with delight, before being removed moments later, without explanation Victoria celebrating the House of Victoria Beckham with David, Harper, Romeo and his girlfriend Kim Turbull, and Cruz with his partner Jackie Apostel David didn't include Brooklyn in his family photos for Harper's birthday, focusing on his daughter as he wrote: 'My Pretty Lady is turning 15 today' It’s possible, of course, that Brooklyn and or Nicola could still post something to Harper – as they are thought to be in Los Angeles, where they will be eight hours behind the UK. But according to one who has followed the saga closely: ‘It’s still devastating for Harper as Brooklyn has been refusing to engage with her and until the fall-out he spoilt her rotten and spent her birthdays with her.’  The entire Beckham clan (minus Brooklyn and Nicola) are currently in Miami to celebrate Harper’s birthday. The last time Harper was in California, in June this year, she was, of course, photographed knocking on Brooklyn’s door, and, when there was no reply, posting a letter through it. Brooklyn, 27, promptly accused his parents of setting up the incident for their own gain – which they denied, vehemently. All in all, for Harper – a sensitive girl, say those who know her – the schism with her brother and Nicola has been devastating.
