Businessman, former professional soccer player, and global superstar Sir David Beckham has wished his only daughter a Happy Birthday as she turns 15.
Harper Seven Beckham was born in Los Angeles, California, on July 10, 2011, during her father’s time playing in Major League Soccer for the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Per The Guardian, soon after Harper was born, her dad took to Facebook to tell the world that she was named after the late famed novelist Harper Lee. Beckham explained, “Victoria’s favourite book is ‘To Kill A Mockingbird,’ it’s a very strong, passionate book and the author was Harper Lee, and that is where Harper came from.”
Regarding her middle name, Beckham explained that, while many assume it was due to the number he wore on his soccer shirts back in his playing, that wasn’t the case. He said, “The main reason behind Seven was it symbolises spiritual perfection — the seven wonders of the world, the seven colours of the rainbow — and in many cultures it is a lucky number.”
Beckham took to social media to wish Harper a Happy Birthday.
