Inside 'momager' Victoria Beckham's millionaire plan for Harper - booking jobs and David's 'fear'

Harper Beckham made a poised appearance at a high-profile awards ceremony this week, welcoming her mother Victoria Beckham on stage with a touching speech. And by all accounts, the 13-year-old is just getting started in showbiz...

Harper Beckham is the only daughter of UK celebrity royalty, with her father footballing legend David Beckham and her mother Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.

But while it's perhaps no surprise to learn that big plans are being made for the 13-year-old's future, when it comes to Harper stepping into the limelight, one of her parents is reportedly much keener than the other.

This week, Harper introduced her mother on stage at the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards at swanky restaurant Claridge's in London. Praising her mum for showing her the value of "working hard, dreaming big and setting my standards" she said: "I am so proud to present the Entrepreneur Of The Year award to a truly inspiring woman who means the world to me, my amazing mummy, Victoria Beckham."

In turn Victoria, 50, praised her youngest child for her poise and elegance, saying she was "so proud of the incredible young lady that you have become". The Sun recently reported she had incorporated a business, H7B Limited, for the future with speculation Harper could land lucrative brand deals.

A source told the paper: "Posh and Becks can see her potential and she wants to try some things out in the public eye." They added that the "wheels are in motion" to "slowly book some jobs" for Harper.

Harper is incredibly well-connected when it comes to showbiz - a permanent fixture on the front row of her mother's high-end fashion shows as well as being spotted watching her father's Inter Miami CF football team in Florida. She was just seven-months-old when she attended her first fashion show, sitting on the lap of her father David, next to fashion queen Anna Wintour.

Just last month, Victoria teased that Harper was following in her footsteps at the launch of her new perfume Reverie in New York. As previously reported, one clip shared by Victoria showed Harper writing her hopes for the future on pieces of card, including that she will "create an amazing brand when I'm older".

Victoria wrote in her caption: "Harper Seven following in mummy's footsteps and putting her hopes and dreams out there". But while she has regularly appeared on her family's Instagram accounts over the years, her footballer father is set to be more cautious when it comes to putting her in the spotlight. David and Harper are incredibly close, with him regularly doing the school run from their £31 million mansion in London's swanky Holland Park.

"There has always been a fear that because Harper is the only girl, she will have a much bigger profile than her big brothers," a source told the Daily Mail. "She's a lovely girl and David just wants her to stay innocent for as long as she can. Basically, they just do not want her to turn into Paris Hilton."

Speaking to the publication ahead of her speech for her mum this week, Harper confessed: "I'm so nervous, especially as tonight's a school night. She's built an incredible business from the ground up and has shown me the value of working hard," the teenager added of her businesswoman mum.

"But above all, she's taught me to always be kind and, even though she has a million things to do, she rarely misses school." Harper was being filmed for Victoria's upcoming Netflix documentary on the night, with big brother Romeo, 22, congratulating her for her speech on Instagram. Her impeccable pedigree means she could make a fortune in the future, with her status as one of the most famous 13-year-olds in the country a "dream" for beauty brands aimed at teenagers.
