Beckham Criticised Over Daughter's Buckingham Palace Birthday Party

David Beckham has defended holding a birthday party for his daughter Harper at Buckingham Palace.

A tea party was hosted by Prince Andrew and the York family last week at the Palace ahead of Harper's sixth birthday on Monday.

The former footballer shared a photo of himself hugging the six-year-old on her birthday, as well as a photograph of Harper beside Princess Beatrice.


However, despite many fans loving the photo, some commentators reacted angrily to the Beckham's receiving 'special treatment'.

One twitter user wrote: "Harper Beckham at Buckingham Palace? Pass the sick bag. What about Grenfell victims who have nothing?"

Taking to Instagram, David said: "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."
