Victoria Beckham is ‘extremely protective’ over her daughter Harper as she prepares to follow in her mother’s footsteps.
The fashion designer, 51, is said to have hinted that her 14-year-old daughter could become the next Kylie Jenner, 28.
But Victoria is doing everything in her power to ensure Harper’s experience in the public eye is nothing like her own.
A source told OK! magazine: ‘Victoria knows all too well how much pressure being in the spotlight can be. The last thing she wants is for Harper to go through the same things she has, it’s her biggest fear.
‘Victoria knows the pitfalls of fame, so is working hard behind the scenes to protect Harper. She’s extremely conscious and protective of her.’
Daily Mail has contacted the Beckham’s representatives for comment.

Harper is reportedly stepping into the world of beauty entrepreneurship.
According to The Sun, the name ‘HIKU BY Harper’ has been filed under two trademark applications via H7B Limited – a business Victoria incorporated in her daughter’s name, referencing Harper’s full name, Harper Seven Beckham.
A source told the publication: ‘Harper loves fashion and make-up and has already started doing make-up tutorials.
‘The plan is to create a brand aimed at the younger market, taking inspiration for pop culture and Korean beauty.
‘The Beckhams are incredibly encouraging parents when it comes to their kids’ talents and exploring their hobbies and business ideas. They’re a very entrepreneurial family.’
Harper has become increasingly visible on her mother’s Instagram, and earlier this year even launched her own account.
Victoria even previously joked that Harper will either become a beauty mogul or a stand-up comedian, saying her daughter is ‘hilarious’.
Last year, Harper made her public speaking debut when she presented her mother with a prestigious award for entrepreneurship at Harper’s Bazaar’s annual Women of the Year event.

She said: ‘I’m so nervous. Especially as tonight’s a school night. Hopefully, this isn’t going to get me in trouble.
‘My amazing mummy has built an incredible business from the ground up and has shown me the value of working hard.
‘But above all, she’s taught me to always be kind and, even though she has a million things to do, she rarely misses school.’
It comes after Victoria said it’s ‘not their fault’ her kids are ‘nepo babies’ as she shared the advice she has given for Cruz, as he also follows in her footsteps in the music industry.
The fashion designer and her husband, football legend David, 50, share four children – Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, all of whom are carving out their own careers in the public eye.
In a new interview, Victoria addressed the nepotism debate, defending her family against the ‘nepo baby’ label as she explained that her kids are simply the children of their parents.
She told The Sun: ‘It’s not their fault, give them a chance.’
The term ‘nepo baby’ refers to the children of celebs who are often thought to have benefited from their parents’ fame and connections to get ahead.

Victoria’s eldest, Brooklyn, has been at the centre of this debate, having explored careers in modelling, photography, and cooking.
Meanwhile, Romeo has pursued modelling, Harper is building an interest in beauty and fashion, and Cruz is stepping into the music world as a singer-songwriter.
Despite the criticism, Victoria admitted she’s proud of all her children and has offered Cruz some heartfelt advice as he prepares to launch his music career.
She told the publication: ‘I told him, ‘Don’t expect immediate success.
‘You’ve got to start small and build it up – and that’s exactly what he’s doing, playing tiny venues, no fuss, doing his thing.’
Victoria added that she believes that success is often better when it takes time, noting that it took her 20 years to build her fashion label into what it is today.
It comes as Cruz has continued to tease his new song by sharing snaps of merch revealing the release date.
The youngest Beckham son has reportedly signed with the top music management company C3, which worked with the US indie group The Strokes.
Now, in a further nod to his upcoming music, Cruz has shared a snap teasing the date ‘24.10.25’ – which he first mentioned last month.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Cruz reshared a picture of an array of white t-shirts, with one featuring the October date.
Possibly hinting at song lyrics, one t-shirt read ‘You wanna know how it looks’ while another had the writing ‘I know how it feels’.
Finally, one of the t-shirts also said ‘Cruz Beckham, Coming Soon.’
