Harper Beckham

The former Manchester United star was criticised by some fans after posting a photo with him and five-year-old daughter Harper on Instagram.

Speaking during a Facebook Live interview, he said: "We want to show our kids love."

David Beckham's wife Victoria was also criticised for posting a picture of herself kissing their daughter on the lips last year.

"I got criticised for kissing my daughter on the lips the other day," he said.

"I kiss all my kids on the lips.

"Brooklyn, maybe not. Brooklyn's 18, he might find that a little bit strange.

The fashion designer has registered "Harper Beckham" with intellectual property authorities in Britain and Europe.

It'll allow her to bring out branded products including toys and clothing, and also protects Harper's name in the entertainment industry.

The names of Victoria and David Beckham's three other children have also been registered.

The application, filed on 22 December, says Victoria is the holder of the rights as parent and guardian.
