David Beckham and Victoria Beckham have made names for themselves in different industries. While David took over the football world, Victoria was a famous musician before becoming a business mogul.

The British football great and his former Spice Girls wife started a family after marriage, sharing four beautiful kids. They have three sons named Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, and a daughter named Harper.

Despite everything Victoria's achieved, she once admitted that being a mother to her four children is her "greatest achievement." The journey has been a rollercoaster ride, teaching her, confusing her, and constantly surprising her.

David and Victoria started dating in 1997 before welcoming their eldest son Brooklyn in 1999. They married four months after his birth in an extravagant wedding at the Luttrellstown Castle in Dublin, Ireland.

Three years later, in 2002, Victoria gave birth to their second son Romeo. Cruz followed in 2005 and Harper in 2011.

Their Only Princess is a Fashionista

The youngest Beckham child, Harper, is now 12, yet she's almost as tall as her superstar mom. She rang on her birthday with a chic Prada party in London.

The Prada restaurant at the Harrods store in London was the perfect location for a fun family bash. David, Romeo, and Cruz joined her and Victoria, while Brooklyn and his wife Nicola were noticeably absent.

The birthday girl looked gorgeous in a lilac silk dress, Nike shoes, and a satin Prada bag embellished with crystals. The bag retails for $2700.

When Harper was just a baby, her mom paid her tribute at the New York Fashion Week by naming a bag after her. The medium-sized bag featured a short handle, a flap enclosure, and two front pockets.

Years later, Harper became a fashionista herself. However, while the growing pre-teen seems to have found her chosen fashion sense, many people disagree with her choices.

After Victoria posted photos of Harper at her Prada party, people flocked to the comment section to say how inappropriate Harper's slip dress was.

"A lingerie style dress for a [twelve-year-old] girl isn't appropriate at all," one user wrote. "She is a child in lingerie. It's not right," another echoed the sentiments.

Despite these comments from people on the internet, Victoria and David have given their children free rein on how they'd like to dress. They support their children in whatever endeavor they wish to pursue.

However, despite the freedom to wear what they choose, the Beckham kids remain grounded. David and Victoria agree when they say they don't want their children to grow up privileged. They want to raise humble down-to-earth children.

Despite their riches, both David and Victoria want their kids to know the privileged lives they live.

They Wanted to Raise Down-to-Earth Children

Admittedly, David was stricter with his three boys as compared to Harper. They enforced strict rules and reiterated manners as their children grew up.

The soccer star was a strong disciplinarian who wanted to teach his kids good manners from an early age. "They've been saying their please and thank you since they were two or three years old," he once said.

The Beckham children's social media pages were also monitored as kids. Victoria and David wanted to protect them, especially since their entire family had a large following.

One particular son who understands what it's like to earn their own money is their eldest son Brooklyn. While he's graced magazine covers through the years, he also had experiences working outside the industry.

With an estimated net worth of $450 million each, David and Victoria have more than enough money to share with their children. Despite their riches, they want their kids to know the privileged lives they live. The down-to-earth mom once said:

"David and I explain to the children what privileged lives they lead. We tell them that in many places worldwide, children are hungry, homeless, and sick."

In 2014, when Brooklyn was 15, he took a job at a coffee shop for some spare cash. His parents then wanted him to learn the value of money by earning independently.

His day job was at a West London coffee shop, where he was paid approximately $3.45 an hour. He got on well with the other baristas and was labeled a good role model for teens his age.

People applauded Brooklyn, acknowledging how easy it was for him to live a luxurious life given his parents' net worth. His parents encouraged him to take the job, which was an excellent experience for the young man.

Brooklyn did not follow in his football superstar dad's footsteps, but he enjoys the sport. He's loves photography, a passion he's pursued in recent years.

Despite enforcing rules and money-making lessons early on, Victoria is the first to assure their fans that their children had fun growing up.

They go on regular trips together as a family but have a good time in their local neighborhood. The Beckhams are a proud supporter of The Chip Shop, a local fish and chips restaurant in their community.

The shop owner couldn't help but gush about the couple, saying they were lovely people. "They're such lovely, down-to-earth people, and I'd love them to come back again," he said.

The Beckhams are a well-loved family with many fans worldwide. They've proven time and again how pleasant they are and how good they were all raised.

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, live away from the rest of the Beckham clan. However, they've slammed rumors of a family feud with Nicola's recent post on Harper's birthday.

A recent photo carousel by Victoria also slammed these rumors, showing their complete family smiling alongside one another during a family trip. There were photos of the whole family, of Victoria and Nicola together, and of Brooklyn and his beaming dad David.

On her Instagram, Nicole posted a photo carousel of her and Harper through the years. The photos come amidst rumors that the married couple wasn't on good terms with the rest of the family.
