Famous power couple David and Victoria Beckham share four children: sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz Beckham, and their only daughter and youngest of the family, Harper Beckham. The young girl was born on Sunday morning, July 10, 2011, at Los Angeles' Cedars Sinai Hospital.

The Beckhams announced they were expecting her in March. Two months later, Victoria, a former group member of the ultra-famous pop sensation Spice Girls, held a pink-themed baby shower.

After Harper's birth, a family representative revealed that the proud parents chose her name because they admired that it was an old English name. Victoria and David appreciated that the name is directly linked to Harper's place of birth because it is the same name as the great American novelist Harper Lee.

When it comes to valuing family ties and fortifying strong relationships, the Beckham family holds this in high regard. Victoria and David make it their priority to shower their kids with love, which fans get to see via the abundant endearing family pictures they post on social media. Being the dedicated father he is, David takes every opportunity to boast about all the cute father-daughter activities he and Harper engage in.

Outside of her bubbly and charming personality and makeup prowess, Harper also enjoys cooking and appears to be giving her talented older brother Brooklyn a run for his money.

However, many onlookers who see posts of Harper and her dad cuddling, embracing, and sharing tender moments, have trolled the little girl on social media. Of all the negative comments directed toward her, many pertained to her weight. One commented:

"LMAO! Look, I know that fat babies are healthy babies, but you really gotta be careful or you'll end up with a Harper Beckham situation..."

Victoria has opened up in the past about her concerns regarding how "cruel" social media can be. She revealed, "Harper isn't on social media," which eases her worries. However, she added:

"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."

While Harper is free from being bashed directly without her own social account, this has not stopped haters from making judgments about her in other forums. One netizen unabashedly tweeted:

"@Joan_Rivers I hear poor little Harper Beckham is already too fat to wear her Mother's clothes."

On one of David's posts, featuring him and Harper embracing as they wore matching "Friends" hoodies, more negative comments ensued. One person made a nasty remark about Harper's weight, saying the girl had consumed too much unhealthy food.

Doting Dad David Beckham Posted a New Photo of Him & His Daughter

Though the Beckhams have faced harsh criticisms when it comes to Harper, this hasn't kept them from sharing more about Harper on their social media feeds. Just recently, David gave his fans a peek into Harper's skills as a makeup artist, which earned over 1 million likes.

The doting father shared an adorable image of Harper working on her daddy's face. "Daddy apparently needed a little powder and contouring," David explained in his caption.

Harper appeared to be fully concentrated on her task, as she uses a device to give contour underneath David's right eye. Her father, dressed in a dapper black suit, diligently sits in a chair and looks upward as she works her magic on his face.

David also admitted in his caption that he wasn't entirely sure what contouring meant, but he certainly looked better. He also referred to Harper as "my little makeup artist."

It appears that Harper has inherited her mother's affinity for makeup. Victoria, who has her own makeup line, disclosed her daughter's special talent at contouring:

"She's been able to do a full face and contour for quite some time. She's good at doing it very naturally. Going to Space NK is her favorite treat after school."

Although Harper may enjoy playing around with makeup, her mom clarifies that she does not wear excessive amounts of it. According to Victoria, Harper is a very ladylike and proper little girl who does not go out in crop tops and mini skirts.

The pop star-turned-fashionista even told a story about how Harper had chastized her for wearing skirts she deemed too short back in her Spice Girls days. When Victoria responded by asking Harper if she would ever wear mini skirts that size, she boldly answered no.

Outside of her bubbly and charming personality and makeup prowess, Harper also enjoys cooking and appears to be giving her talented older brother Brooklyn a run for his money.

On Instagram, she was seen whipping up salsa and burritos in the kitchen with her dad for a family lunch, and fans were quite impressed with her skills.

Despite what haters may have to say about the young lady, she remains protected by her loving parents, Victoria and David, and her big brothers.
