BECKHAM FAMILY FEUD ERUPTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS DAVID WISHES HARPER A HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY WITH A BIZARRE SPELLING MISTAKE!

In a shocking turn of events, David Beckham's attempt to wish his daughter Harper a happy 14th birthday has sparked a family feud on social media. The former footballer took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message with his daughter, but things took a dramatic turn when he made a bizarre spelling mistake.

David's post featured a video of Harper tap dancing as a child and a recent photo of them dancing together.

This unexpected twist came after Brooklyn Beckham, Harper's older brother, surprised everyone by paying tribute to his sister in a surprise move amid ongoing speculation about their strained relationship.

The family drama unfolded as Victoria Beckham, David's wife and Harper's mother, shared her own birthday tribute to her daughter. In a series of adorable snaps, she showcased Harper's growth over the years, including an adorable photo of her in a pink dress and tights, another with David on a motorbike, and a sweet clip of her singing along to Carly Rae Jepsen's hit song Call Me Maybe.

Romeo Beckham, Victoria's son, was the first sibling to send Harper well wishes, sharing a photo of the pair together. He wrote: "Happy 14th to the most amazing human there is, love you always and forever."

Cruz Beckham's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, also jumped into the mix by sharing her own sweet message for Harper, posting a photo of herself and Harper sunbathing aboard a yacht and writing: "Happy 14th birthday beautiful girl!"

As the family drama unfolded on social media, sources close to the Beckhams revealed their fears that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola have distanced themselves from Harper. The couple's absence was felt when they failed to visit Harper during their London trip in May.

Tensions between the Beckham parents and their eldest son, Brooklyn, have been simmering for months. According to insiders, David and Victoria are at odds with Nicola, who is rumored to be controlling Brooklyn. This feud has caused a rift within the family, leaving fans wondering if they will ever reconcile.
