As the only daughter of Britain’s biggest celebrity family who play their lives out on Instagram, it was only a matter of time before teenager Harper Beckham signed up to social media.
And just two weeks before her mum Victoria launches her Netflix show in which she will appear, the 14-year-old has made an account.
Harper’s platform went live on Friday morning with her writing a biography which says, ‘Yours Truly’, ‘Your fav blonde’ and paid tribute to her family’s various multi-million-pound homes in London, Los Angeles and Miami.
Her words are alongside a white heart and seal emojis.
For now, the teenager’s account is private and is followed by two of her brothers Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, her parents and Cruz’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 30, and sources close to the family say that her posts will not be allowed to make it into the public domain unless she decides to make it public.
Harper’s eldest brother Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were yet to follow her but they are in the US where they live amid the ongoing tensions between the family and are therefore on a different time zone so were possibly asleep when the account went live.

Victoria Beckham announced the launch of her daughter’s Instagram account by resharing Harper’s first story which was a sweet snap of them and tagging the page
Victoria tagged her daughter’s official account for the first time in an Instagram story about fitting for her upcoming London Fashion Week show
‘But she is private for now and until she and her parents change their minds about that none of her content will be made public.’
The move comes two weeks before her mother’s Netflix documentary, Victoria Beckham, is to air in which Harper appears more than her brothers – simply because she lives at home so is ‘organically’ in the background more.
While there is no talking to camera, she will be seen having conversations with her parents.
The account will no doubt be bursting with followers as and when she chooses to go public, considering Romeo boasts 3.9million followers, Cruz 2.1million, David 88million, and Victoria 33million.
Ever since the Beckhams joined Instagram just over a decade ago, David and Victoria have not allowed their daughter to have her own social media account, though she has featured heavily on the family Instagram accounts but always tagged with the #HarperSeven.
The fashion designer previously shared her concerns about her only daughter joining social media, admitting it was ‘terrifying’ to her the thought of it.
She told Vogue Australia in 2022: ‘Harper isn’t on social media, so we don’t have to worry about that just yet.
‘But seeing how cruel people can be, yes, it really does [concern me].
‘She’s at that age where her body is going to start changing, but it’s about making sure that we communicate a lot as a family, and she surrounds herself with nice friends.
‘But it is quite terrifying, I can’t lie.’

Over the past year, Harper has slowly been emerging into the spotlight as a celebrity in her own right.
She made her first public speech when presenting Victoria with the prestigious award for entrepreneurship, on behalf of Harper’s Bazaar magazine at its annual Women of the Year event.
And now she is set to feature in Victoria’s forthcoming Netflix documentary, it’s only up from here as she is set to make millions thanks to her status as the only daughter of Britain’s biggest celebrity brand.
