Kids will do anything to get what they want. Beg you, bribe you, hide it from you, ask their grandparents.
(As a mom of 3, I’ve seen it all!) They can be cunning — and relentless! And David and Victoria Beckham’s 12-year-old daughter Harper is no different.
She recently came up with a PowerPoint presentation to plead her case for a major change in her life, and we’re impressed!
In a new interview with Grazia, the fashion designer shared that Harper created a PowerPoint to show all the reasons why she should be allowed to get a perm.
She didn’t share many details about the presentation, but we can only imagine how perfect it must have been.
Were there slides on how it’s a relatively easy way to change her hair (at least she’s not trying to dye it pink or shave her head!)
or info on how her mom once did the very same thing? Or did she use AI to create an image of her with a perm to prove how good it would look? There are so many possibilities. If only we could have been a fly on the wall for that family meeting!
Unfortunately for Harper, Victoria based her answer on her own terrible experience with a perm and told her daughter “absolutely not.” It’s one thing to let your kids make mistakes. But it’s an entirely different thing to willingly sit back and watch them do something you know they will regret without putting your foot down, so we totally get where Victoria was coming from.
Part of the former Spice Girl’s hesitation to let Harper make such a big beauty change probably also comes from Victoria’s own experience with being a public figure. “I’ve had so much said about me and I’m sure that has robbed me of some experiences,” she told the outlet. “I never want to look like I’m complaining, but there were times in the past that I haven’t felt confident enough to sit on a beach and watch my children play.”
She shared a heartbreaking story about her postpartum experience with her eldest son Brooklyn, now 25. “I remember after I had Brooklyn, my first outing was on the front page of the newspaper, with arrows pointing to where I needed to lose weight,” she said. “Those things can affect how you feel and conduct yourself in public. Now, if paparazzi want to take a picture and say something – too bad, it doesn’t bother me in the same way.” Good for her!
In July 2022, Victoria opened up about how worried she was for Harper to one day be on social media. “Harper isn’t on social media, so we don’t have to worry about [body-shaming] just yet,” Victoria told Vogue Australia. “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,” she said, adding, “But it is quite terrifying, I can’t lie.”
