WHOOPS! THEY DID IT AGAIN

Can the Beckhams do nothing right? Seems not! This time it’s David who’s in the dog box

THEY may be one of the most genetically blessed families around and have a lifestyle to make lesser mortals drool, but the Beckhams just can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to the public’s opinion of them.

For as long as they’ve been around – and it’s been more than 20 years now – Posh and Becks have been picked apart for everything from their fame to their bucks to their parenting.

Whether it’s because they’re too in-your-face about their pampered lives or people are just plain jealous, David (45), Victoria (46) and their brood, Brooklyn (21), Romeo (18), Cruz (15) and Harper (9), really are the family everyone loves to hate.

Case in point: David found himself in the firing line again recently for planting a kiss on Harper’s lips during a day out.

The moment was captured by proud mom Victoria, who posted it onto Instagram with the caption, “The best daddy.”

The backlash was swift. It’s wrong, it’s inappropriate, lip kisses are for partners, the haters vented.

Some defended them but the general consensus seemed to be that Becks was creepy and weird.

This isn’t the first time the retired foot-baller has been bashed for the same thing – in 2017 he was lambasted so badly he felt he needed to defend himself.

“I kiss all my kids on the lips,” he retorted. “I’m affectionate with the kids. It’s how Victoria and I were brought up and it’s how we are with our children.”
