Harper Beckham Steps into the Social Media Spotlight Just Before Mom’s Netflix Debut

Harper Beckham, 14, has joined Instagram just two weeks before she is to appear in her mother's Netflix documentary

The Beckhams' Secret Social Media Move: Harper Joins Instagram, But Only for Now

In a move that's got everyone talking, 14-year-old Harper Beckham has finally joined the exclusive world of social media, creating an Instagram account just two weeks before her mom Victoria's highly anticipated Netflix documentary drops. The teenager's platform went live on Friday morning, but don't expect to see her posting selfies or behind-the-scenes peeks at family life just yet.

For now, Harper's account is locked down tight, with only a select few following her, including her parents David and Victoria, brothers Romeo (23) and Cruz (20), and even her dad's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel (30). But sources close to the family tell us that Harper's posts won't be making it into the public domain unless she decides to go rogue and make them public. We can only imagine what kind of drama would ensue if Harper were to break free from her parents' social media shackles.

The Scholarynote.com reports that Harper's bio is a sweet tribute to her family's opulent lifestyle, mentioning their multi-million-pound homes in London, Los Angeles, and Miami, alongside a white heart and seal emojis. It seems like she's embracing her privileged upbringing with open arms (and a private Instagram account).

But this move isn't just about Harper - it's also a clever marketing ploy by the Beckhams to generate buzz around Victoria's documentary. The show, which features Harper more than her brothers, is set to drop in two weeks' time, and we can expect plenty of inside scoop on family life.

While Harper may be private for now, insiders tell us that she's been slowly emerging into the spotlight over the past year. She's made headlines with her first public speech at the Women of the Year event, where she presented Victoria with a prestigious award for entrepreneurship. And let's not forget about her upcoming appearance in her mom's Netflix documentary - it's clear Harper is being groomed to take on a bigger role in the family business.

Brooklyn and Nicola 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

The Beckhams' decision to allow Harper to join social media has been a long time coming, given that Victoria has previously expressed her concerns about her daughter's online presence. In an interview with Vogue Australia last year, she confessed it was "terrifying" to think of Harper joining the ranks of Instagram influencers.

"I don't want her to be exposed to all that," Victoria said at the time. "I mean, seeing how cruel people can be... Yes, it really does [concern me]."

But now, with Harper's Instagram account live and ready for public consumption (or not), we can only wonder what kind of content she'll share when she finally decides to go public. Will she post selfies, fashion shots, or perhaps give her followers a glimpse into family life? One thing is certain: the Beckhams are about to take over your Instagram feeds, and you won't be able to look away.

As we wait with bated breath for Harper's social media debut, let's not forget that her brothers Romeo and Cruz have been raking in the followers on their own accounts - Romeo boasts an impressive 3.9 million fans, while Cruz has a staggering 2.1 million. And then there are their parents, of course: David has a whopping 88 million followers, while Victoria trails behind with 33 million.

So, when will Harper make her move? Will she go public and join the ranks of Instagram influencers, or keep her account private forever? Only time (and perhaps a carefully crafted marketing strategy) will tell. One thing's for sure: we can't wait to see what this teenager has in store for us.
