David Beckham doubled down with a second birthday tribute to Harper on Thursday as he wished her a happy 14th birthday – but made a bizarre spelling mistake.
It came after Brooklyn paid tribute to his sister in a surprise move amid speculation he wouldn’t reach out to his sibling due to the ongoing family feud.
Sharing a post to Instagram, David uploaded a video of Harper tap dancing as a child and another, recent photo of them dancing together.
But in a move that confused his followers he used American spelling, writing: ‘Mommy.’
The former footballer captioned his post: ‘Daddy will always be your dancing partner. But your get your tap dance skills from Mommy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY pretty lady.’
Earlier on, the family matriarch Victoria and her son Romeo were the first members of the Beckham family to share tributes to Harper while Brooklyn later followed suit.

In a statement to the alleged friction, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola – who shared the same post – left his parents out of the post, despite the image being taken at Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show in September.
The post marks Brooklyn’s first public interaction with his family since he paid tribute to his grandmother Sandra on 26 June, despite remaining silent and shunning his father’s 50th birthday earlier the same month.
Harper’s big day was at risk of widening the rift between David and Victoria and their eldest son, had he not reached out and put differences aside. His post came shortly before David then wished Harper a happy birthday.
Sources close to the family have told MailOnline of their fears that Brooklyn and his wife Nicola, 30, have also distanced themselves from Harper.
It came after they failed to visit her when they flew into London in May to film an advert for French-Italian clothing brand Moncler just over a mile from the family home in Holland Park.
In her own tribute to her daughter, fashion designer, 51, took to Instagram and shared several snaps of her youngest taken over the years, in a move which further showcased Brooklyn’s absence following rumoured fall-out over his actress wife.
Alongside the her post, Victoria wrote: ‘Happy birthday to my world!! You are my everything and I’m so proud of the strong, confident, kind and talented young lady you are becoming.
‘You’re my best friend and I’m so lucky I get to be your mummy. We love you so so much!! Enjoy your special day!! ❤️ Kisses @davidbeckham xxx’.

David and Victoria had no idea whether Brooklyn, who Harper has idolised since she was a little girl, would message her privately or publicly on Instagram because they have no communication with him.
One source said: ‘Brooklyn and Harper used to be inseparable. He adored her, he hopefully still does, but the problem is that Brooklyn has a track record for ignoring family birthdays now.
‘It would be devastating for Harper not to hear from him. She hasn’t done anything and she’s only 13-years-old, she is the innocent party here.
‘Harper’s birthday has always been such a happy day, she’s the adored little daughter so it’s always so joyous but this is a tough situation.
‘Brooklyn was 12 when Harper was born, he was so important in her life and it must be terribly sad that she isn’t seeing him since the fall out with David and Victoria happened.
‘David and Victoria very much blame Nicola for all of this but hopefully Brooklyn will see sense.
‘While Harper doesn’t have her own Instagram yet, the family thing is to tag her in on their posts as #harperseven.’
At the start of her relationship with Brooklyn, Nicola seemed to forge a strong bond with Harper. The actress soon positioned herself as a ‘big sister’ figure to the little girl, who is aid to have ‘adored’ her.
But now the couple, who married in April 2022 at her family’s £76million Florida mansion, no longer speak to Sir David and Lady Beckham, with the couple believing that she controls Brooklyn.
