Harper Beckham joins Instagram ahead of Victoria Beckham Netflix documentary
14-year-old Harper Beckham establishes a private Instagram presence two weeks before her mother’s Netflix film airs
Harper Beckham, the 14-year-old daughter of Victoria and David Beckham, has joined Instagram, launching her account just two weeks before Victoria Beckham’s Netflix documentary is scheduled to air. The move introduces the youngest member of Britain’s high-profile family to social media, albeit in private mode for now.
The account went live Friday morning with a first post that included a biography reading “Yours Truly” and “Your fav blonde,” alongside mentions of the family’s multi-million-pound homes in London, Los Angeles and Miami. The post is accompanied by a white heart and seal emojis. For the moment, Harper’s profile is private, and she is followed by two of her brothers, Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, as well as her parents and Cruz’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, 30. People close to the family say that her posts will not appear publicly unless she chooses to make them visible.

Sources noted that Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz had not yet followed Harper on the platform, partly due to being in the United States and in different time zones during the account’s launch. The development comes two weeks before Victoria Beckham’s Netflix documentary, Victoria Beckham, is set to air, in which Harper appears more prominently than her brothers because she lives at home and is thus more in the family’s everyday life on camera. While the film features no direct “talking to camera” segments from Harper, she is shown engaging in conversations with her parents during intimate moments filmed at home.
Victoria Beckham has long expressed caution about Harper joining social media. In 2022, she told Vogue Australia that Harper’s potential presence online worried her, describing the possibility of cruel online commentary as terrifying and stressing the importance of family dialogue and supportive friendships as Harper navigates adolescence. The new Instagram activity arrives despite those concerns and alongside ongoing media attention surrounding the documentary.
The Netflix project is expected to showcase the family’s dynamic and the way Harper has gradually stepped into the public eye. Producers have indicated that Harper will be visible in scenes at home, reinforcing her role as the only Beckham child to appear with more on-screen presence within the film. The absence of a direct interview segment does not diminish her on-screen role, as editors weave family moments into the broader portrait of life under the iconic brand’s spotlight.
Harper’s emergence as a public figure has unfolded gradually over the past year. She delivered her first public speech recently when presenting Victoria Beckham with a entrepreneurship award at Harper’s Bazaar’s Women of the Year event. That appearance marked a turning point in her public profile and foreshadowed her inclusion in the forthcoming documentary. Analysts note that her connection to the family’s business and fashion interests will likely continue to boost her visibility as she navigates adolescence in the global spotlight.
Since the Beckhams joined Instagram more than a decade ago, the family has frequently featured Harper on their own feeds, though she has mostly appeared under the hashtag #HarperSeven. Victoria has emphasized that Harper’s online presence will unfold on her own terms, with privacy and safety considerations guiding any future public posts. The Instagram launch represents a cautious yet notable shift as Harper stabilizes her identity within the family’s enduring cultural footprint.
As interest in Harper’s life grows, observers anticipate that her profile could expand alongside her emerging public persona. The account’s private status suggests that any broader public access will depend on Harper’s comfort level and parental guidance, but the development nonetheless marks a significant moment in the ongoing narrative of Britain’s most watched celebrity family.
