Victoria and David Beckham have been trolled regarding their daughter being overweight. I just think it’s great that Victoria is letting her daughter eat what she wants and isn’t trying to influence her to go on faddy diets. It’ll be bad enough when the poor child is around 18 and there will be peer pressure to lose weight. I think she’s lovely and natural and her parents obviously adore her.

OK Trisher there’s no problem then.

Trisher I wasn’t fat just plump like she is.

She isn't "plump" either (although that's just another word for fat)

BlueSky Sun 17-Apr-22 22:30:39

Calli trolling really? I thought you knew me better!

She isn't

Please stop trolling a 10 year old child.

It’s a fact that she’ll soon be teased by other youngsters about her weight, so why not help her beforehand? I was chubby as a child and as a teenager became borderline anorexic.

But she isn't fat. Check the photo I posted earlier.

Harper's the girl in the middle.
All the children look like they're just bursting with pride, what a wonderful photo.

They do, don't they!
Just lovely smile

Excuse me Summerlove? What’s this forum for? I comment just like every body else!

It’s not for fat shaming children.

I’ll say that.

I agree.

Anorexia is a very real problem amongst young girls and boys too.

I remember how those slim and healthy gymnasts suffered from being fat-shamed by their coaches and have suffered ever since.

Maddyone I'm not sure if I really know how to spot trolls. I thought I recognised all the names on this thread. I need to wise up and pay more attention!

You're commenting public ly on a child's appearance. Do you walk down your road making derogatory comments about various children's weight, looks etc?

maddyone Sun 17-Apr-22 19:37:41

Well it’s not us is it Coastpath? I don’t think the grans on here will be horrible about a child, the problem is that trolls are saying unkind things.

maddyone Sun 17-Apr-22 19:35:56

If you do a quick Google search Jane you’ll find lots of pictures of Harper Beckham. I just did one to see and there are a lot, especially if you look at images. I’m not convinced it’s a good thing to do really.

All those recent wedding photos and the one that sticks out in my mind is David Beckham leaning out of a car window talking to his kids. The beaming smile on his face was 100% pure love and pride.

They seem like a happy, loving family and Harper is a bonny, lively girl who was having a hoot at the wedding with her pals. Shall we let her be?

JaneJudge Sun 17-Apr-22 19:26:21

until this weekend i have not seen any photos of their children at all!

maddyone Sun 17-Apr-22 19:25:34

I agree with trisher. it’s a lovely photograph. I’m just wondering though if it would be better for the Beckhams to stop sharing so many photos of their child and let her grow up out of the public gaze.

JaneJudge Sun 17-Apr-22 19:23:40

she looks fine and like a normal child ffs

And who’s fat shaming when I just said I was a chubby child?

Grannyben Sun 17-Apr-22 18:42:31

She really does.look a beautiful little girl and they both seem devoted parents. Absolutely disgraceful to be making negative comments about children

Children seem to ebb and flow.
One minute they're short, then suddenly tall, slim at some points, chunkier at others.
