David and Victoria's Beckham's little girl Harper was showered with love from her parents and three brothers for her 11th birthday on 10 July - but behind the scenes, life wasn't all cupcakes and big smiles. Just hours after the tween's big day, her protective parents finally opened up via a UK court about their grave fears for their family after a stalker tried to collect their daughter from her school.
The former England soccer captain, 47, told the court he was deeply concerned about what stalker Sharon Bell was capable of doing to his children after Victoria was forced to watch the stalker as she was arrested on Harper's school grounds clutching a teddy bear. Sharon reportedly attempted to dupe teachers into believing she was Harper's biological mother and had planned to take the girl home.
"The incident made me feel upset and frightened," the Spice Girl said in a statement to Westminster Magistrates' Court about the harrowing ordeal in late 2021.
Posh explained the near kidnapping had left poor Harper "scared to go out" and fearful about joining her classmates on school trips.
