Victoria Beckham shares adorable childhood snaps to mark her 46th birthday

If anyone knows how to celebrate their birthday in style, it’s Victoria Beckham.

The fashion designer, who turned 46 today, marked her special day by sharing a series of baby pictures on her Instagram page – with the compilation video soundtracked to Spice Girls’ classic, Who Do You Think You Are?, naturally.

Referencing the UK’s current lockdown to tackle the coronavirus crisis, she captioned the snap: “It’s my birthday. Perhaps a stranger birthday than usual. But I am so grateful to be safe and well and with David Beckham, Cruz Beckham, Romeo Beckham and Harper Seven while missing Brooklyn Beckham and all my family I can’t be with today.”

Victoria is self-isolating with her family at their home in the Cotswolds, while eldest son Brooklyn, 21, is in the States with girlfriend Nicola Peltz.

Her husband of 21 years, David, 44, also shared a series of snaps in honour of his wife’s birthday, writing: “We love you so much and hope you have the most amazing day.”

Their second-eldest son Romeo, 17, wrote: “Love you so much, have an amazing day,” as he posted a photo with his arm around his mum, while Cruz, 15, shared a throwback snap of his mum performing with the Spice Girls while on tour.

Baby Spice Emma Bunton also paid tribute to her friend, writing on Twitter: “Happy birthday to my gorgeous friend. We love you so much.”

On her own Instagram story, Victoria shared a handmade card from youngest daughter Harper, eight, saying ‘We love you to the moon and back,’ as well as another cheeky photo of the Spice Girls with the faces of the Beckham family stuck on top of Sporty, Scary, Baby and Ginger.

While Victoria, who enjoyed a family bike ride in the country for her birthday, asked friends and family to give a donation to The Children’s Society charity instead of a present, Harper couldn’t resist getting her a little extra gift.

Posting a video of a personalised apron that reads ‘Mummy, washing up with love,’ and personalised bottles of washing up liquid, Victoria said: “The kids know how much I love the washing up and the housework so I'm excited to slip into this later."

An additional gift comes from friend and DJ Fat Tony, who is taking over the designer’s Instagram account at 8pm to put on a playlist of her favourite songs so her 28.3 million followers can party alongside her for her special day.
