Ten years ago, David Beckham publicly responded to criticism after being caught kissing his daughter Harper on the lips, calling it a “natural act of love for a father to his daughter”. But on Thursday night, at the launch of Hugo Boss, a similar moment caused a stir on social media – this time over an apparently uncomfortable reaction from Harper, now 13.
A viral clip shows David leaning in to kiss Harper during a family photo, but she clearly tilts her head away, looking shy and embarrassed. Although Harper eventually lets her dad kiss her cheek, the moment was enough to spark a heated debate online once again.
Many on Twitter and Instagram have pointed out that Harper is now a teenager and her reaction suggests there should be a change in the way fathers and daughters show affection. One comment, which received thousands of likes, read: *“She was clearly uncomfortable. Maybe David needs to understand that his daughter is an adult.”*
However, many people defended the former footballer, stressing that displays of affection within the family are completely normal and should not be overly scrutinized. One fan wrote: *“It was a father-daughter kiss, don’t make it into something negative.”*
David Beckham has yet to respond to the conflicting opinions that have been erupting. But what is clear is that every time he shows affection for Harper in public, public opinion becomes polarized – some are touched by the father-daughter relationship, while others feel uncomfortable with this intimate display.
Is it time for David to change the way he shows affection now that Harper is entering adulthood? Or is it still a private family matter that is not worth criticizing?
