I was saddened and angered to see the concern-trolling and covert body-shaming of Harper Beckham on the last thread.

It was suggested that you shouldn't be able to see a 13 year old's body. However, it is impossible to hide an adult female figure without wearing fundamentalist religious garb.

Does nobody else remember being 13 and made to feel guilty and wrong for having gone through puberty? It's simply shaming Harper for not being pre-pubescent, and for developing normally for her age. She shouldn't be made to feel ashamed of her body, or made to hide herself to stop other people being offended. It's the same on the Beckham threads, she was criticized as dressing too old for wearing baggy jeans and a T-shirt, for fucks sake.

The reality is she is in year 9, and they all wear normal adult clothes. No typical year 9 girl wears either little girl clothes or dresses like they're Amish.

Her clothes are totally normal - the only difference is her parents can afford designer evening gowns.
 
Talking of Martin Roberts.. I've just remembered that he took a long drive to Ukraine to drop off essential supplies, did he not become very unwell following this , or during? It's all a bit hazy, anyway with all the alcohol chat I was wondering if he was actually suffering withdrawals?

She seems a bit haughty too, and her dad actually doesn't and neither did Linda.

Yes, I get what you mean about her designs, very safe, hardly Alexander McQueen. Definite Nepo baby. I'm not sure about the haughty thing but I don't think you can be famous on Paul or Linda's level and not being affected somehow.

I had a spaghetti strap satin bias cut dress when I was that age, too. The difference between mine and Harpers is that mine was from Mark One or New Look and I looked bloody awful in it 🤣

No.

Her dad's fame definitely gave her a massive head start (being able to have Kate and Naomi model for her St Martin's degree show). But that was 30 years ago and no one is buying a Stella McCartney dress in 2024 because the designer's dad was a Beatle.

I find her quite charmless but fashion is fickle and she's maintained her brand because people like her designs.

Plus she did actually have training before she became a Designer. Personally I think she looks very haughty but can’t deny she did her best to learn.
 
Re: drinking TV husband, The only person to spill the tea to popbitch would be the wife who must know the bottles in the wine rack are full of water not wine or at a big ol’ stretch, their kids or cleaner who would only have found out by opening a bottle and discovering water. Plus they all must be screw top not corked to be refilled so not the highest quality vino collapso.

So if it is the wife spilling to popbitch, is that pre empting a split or just venting, knowing her husband reads popbitch newsletters and we, the great unwashed will never find out?.

I don't think it's maintained her. But I think she got her foot in the door with massive amounts of help. Didn't Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell also model her final year project at St Martin's or something? Nobody can compete with that.
