Harper caught in 'painful' rift

All eyes were on the Beckhams and Brooklyn’s little sister Harper last week as she navigates the aftermath of her brother's blistering attack on her family.

David and Victoria’s youngest child was seen alongside her parents as they attended a glittering ceremony at the Ministry of Culture in Paris, where Victoria, 51, was made a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters — one of France's most prestigious cultural honours.

At just 14 years old, it is difficult to imagine the pressure that has been heaped on Harper's young shoulders over the past turbulent weeks.

The teen looked stylish in a black slip dress and peep-toe heels as she attended the bash, but many couldn't help but notice she appeared rather downcast as she joined her family at the highly formal occasion. Responding to snaps from the event, one fan commented that Harper “looks miserable”, while another said, “Poor Harper she looks very sad.” A third penned, “You can already feel the pressure on that kid’s shoulders.”

But with Harper seemingly not taking sides with either Brooklyn or the rest of the family, it's believed she could prove crucial in eventually helping to build bridges between her feuding relatives.

"Harper is Brooklyn's only sister and he really cares for her," a source tells new.
