I can’t believe Harper Beckham is already six years old! I remember Victoria Beckham’s last pregnancy like it was yesterday. It was widely believed that Victoria and David had made a last-ditch decision to try for one more child, with the hope that they would finally get their longed-for little girl. And it happened – Harper Beckham was born six years ago today. To celebrate, the entire Beckham family has been posting photos of the littlest Beckham to their social media, and general well-wishes and good vibes have been pouring in. Harper is a little princess, and as such, she was also given a “tea party” at Buckingham Palace last week. No joke.
Her parents are certainly showbiz royalty – so it comes as little surprise that Harper Beckham should be hanging out with real princesses. The six-year-old daughter of David and Victoria attended a private tea party last week with Princess Eugenie and a host of her school friends at Buckingham palace, which was organised by the Duchess of York.
And of course, her proud as punch parents showed off some snaps of the special day on social media, as they wished her a happy birthday on Monday, leading many fans to believe she had celebrated her big day there.
That’s some party venue: Harper Beckham got the royal treatment in a fairytale Elsa gown as she attended a tea party at Buckingham palace last week – her parents shared the snaps on Instagram on Monday as they wished her a happy sixth birthday.
Um, the Duchess of York?? No. Fergie didn’t organize this. Maybe one of the York princesses? Princess Eugenie posed with Harper and her friends, so maybe Eugenie organized it. Because Fergie wouldn’t be welcome at Buckingham Palace, and so why would she be able to organize it? David Beckham also noted on one of his Instagrams: “Just to be clear this wasn’t the palace opening the gates for Harper’s birthday party , this was a tea party where us and other guests were invited so it was a beautiful thing to do with My mum , Harper plus a few school friends… We were honored to be able to there… Beautiful tea party.” So, the Beckhams want us to know that they weren’t, like, renting BP for a party. They were invited to a tea party hosted by someone at BP. Eh.

Aw, that’s cute. They seem like a tight-knit family.
Super sweet, I love it.
Props to Eugenie for hosting. So cute.
Adorable! Say what you will about them but they truly seem to be loving parents, any little girl would love to a tea party with a real princess at a real castle.
PS for all the British ladies on here, my husband and I are taking our daughter to London for her 4th birthday this November, what are some fun things that a 4 year old little girl would enjoy doing in London in November?
Here are a few links, hope they help.

Tower Bridge (glass floor!)
double decker buses (just take a ride and sit upstairs in the front)
boat on the Thames
Greenwich Park/The Cutty Sark
This is a lovely theatre for kids https://www.unicorntheatre.com Also recommended the London Eye, the Rainforest Cafe (tacky and expensive but kids love it), changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, Hamleys is also a must. Depending on where you are staying you might also find some things going on locally for kids.
The Hyde park winter wonderland opens in November! It was lovely – winteryness, rides, food, markets etc.
The London Zoo is in Regent’s Park and it’s a bit wintery then but still fun for a ramble. Dress warmly.
The Natural History Museum is FANTASTIC and they sometimes do special events like camping overnight – check out their events!
Kenwood House in Hampstead Heath is the house where Dido Belle lived and they have a fun doll’s house area for kids.
Kidzania is an indoor play area where you can park your kid for a while if you wish.
Rainforest Cafe near Piccadilly Circus is amazing fun – but you won’t be able to escape without buying a stuffed animal or two.
Someone does an Mad Hatter Tea Party that I haven’t tried but if your daughter is into Alice in Wonderland, that would be great.
Have fun in London!
Uhhh… while the daily mail is usually known for their accuracy; Harper is NOT wearing an Elsa dress, she is wearing a Cinderella dress.
Looks like they mixed her up with another girl, who is wearing an Elsa dress.
Is she the blonde with Heidi braids and the brunette in the golf cart? She looks different. And I wouldn’t say she looks like either of her parents.
Cute dress on Eugenie; she looks good.
That was kind of her to do. The fun part of being a princess.
Why does the Palace have no lawn? Is it just a parking lot right up to the door?
The gardens are at the back of the building.
There are massive private gardens around back. The entry way is the parade ground and vehicle entrance point.
The Palace is within grounds of 40acres, complete with a lake. We tend to see a tiny fraction of the main building and or a glimpse of the gardens when HM hosts are garden parties.
This picture is the inner courtyard of the main building.
This is an aerial view from the back:

That’s adorable! She’s really cute, posing standing straight in the second picture, like she’s proud of being there.
I saw the other day he addressed people criticizing him for kissing her on the lips.I have never understood these people who have an issue with parents ,mostly dads, kissing their own kids on the lips.
I have an issue with it. Think its beyond gross and super creepy. Just my opinion and I accept that others think its A-OK. Different strokes and all that.
I don’t think it’s creepy, but just if you’re not used to it, it can look weird.
It sounds to me like Duchess of York connected the Beckhams to Eugenie, who then arranged for the party.
I like the York girls but a private party for a celebrity daughter and her friends isn’t a great look. Not with the British taxpayers about to shell out hundreds of millions of pounds to renovate the place.
How about, instead of giving the Beckhams a photos op, you open up the palace to everyone for more than a couple of weeks each summer? After the residing family is put out to pasture, perhaps.
The party was for a number of schools including one attended by Beckham littlest.
The Beckhams poisoned the well by posting pictures that gave impression that the Yorkies had thrown a private party for Beckham littlest and her exclusive cirle of friends.
DM ran with that story.
Ohhh. Thanks for the clarification. I was like ‘Who’s renting out BP to the Beckhams and how can I get in on that?’ I’m a little Princess! I want a party! Where’s MY tiara 😉
Thanks for clarifying LAK, I thought it seemed unfair too, but now it makes sense.
That’s a much better story, mercifully.
Of course they wouldn’t want to publish the truth. Was this related to charity somehow, like a Children in Crisis fundraiser? Otherwise I cannot see why Sarah would get access to having an event at BP.
When I read that The Duchess of York organized this my first thought some money exchanged hands.
My first thought was, there is no Duchess of York.
Sorry to be pedantic, but there is. Fergie. She may be divorced, but she’s still duchess of York.
If she or Andrew remarry, she loses it completely.
I didn’t know that LAK. I thought she had lost the title in the divorce and there wasn’t a Duchess York anymore unless he remarried. She doesn’t have the HRH in front of her title though, right?
I remember when Victoria was pregnant with Harper, how people would comment that her daughter would have a miserable life because Victoria would surely impose her dieting and “eating disorders” and her insecurities on her own child. I laughed then and I’m laughing now. Harper looks like a very healthy, happy, and very well-loved child. She and her brothers all appear to be growing up in a great family environment and Harper is clearly the princess of the family. She looks cute in her dress and I can’t believe she’s already 6 years old.
Harper is a doll.
6 years old, already? Time sure flies. What a cutie.
Talk about the best bday, ever!
