Fashion designer Victoria Beckham has shared some heartening advice for her mini-me daughter Harper who she shares with her husband David.
During a recent interview with France Inter, the former Spice Girl, 50, explained how she reminds her 12-year-old daughter about the importance of kindness over other things such as intelligence and physical appearance.

"I was never the most popular girl. What I tell my daughter often is that it's important to not be the cleverest or the prettiest, but to be the kindest, to be the one who works hard and won't accept a no."

Harper appears to be following in her stylish mother's footsteps. While the designer has her own eponymous label, Harper seems to have already expressed an interest in fashion, and is regularly spotted at her mother's shows.

"Harper loves beauty. She loves it, I'm very close with all of the children but the great thing about Harper being a little girl, she loves to play with makeup and that’s really great mother and daughter time," she said.

"She has been able to run in platforms for a few years right now, she can wear heels like most grown ups cannot.

David and Victoria's family life
Aside from Harper, football ace David and designer Victoria also share sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, and Cruz, 19.
While Brooklyn and Romeo have since flown the nest, David, Victoria, Harper and Cruz split their time between their two main family homes in London and the Cotswolds.
