The fashion designer - who gave birth to Harper Seven, her first daughter with husband David Beckham, in Los Angeles on Sunday - is reportedly considering a permanent move back to the UK so the baby can attend a posh school and become a "perfect English rose".

A friend of the former Spice Girl said: "Everyone has fallen in love with Kate Middleton. She's gorgeous, stylish, speaks well and has perfect manners, all the qualities that Victoria will wish for Harper.

"Victoria will want her daughter to grow up to become a perfect English rose, with a gorgeous posh accent and definitely not like some spoilt Hollywood brat. Victoria is a massive fan of Kate Middleton and now, finally, baby Harper is going to be her very own little princess," the friend said.

The 37-year-old star - who also has sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, 6, with David - has cleared her diary for the next two months to devote her time to the baby.

The source added: "Victoria has always dreamed of having a daughter. Now her dream has come true. Like any proud mum, she's planning ahead and being Victoria, she will want the very, very best for her daughter."

Meanwhile, the Beckhams have invited Prince William and Duchess Catherine to meet the tot next time they are in the UK.

A friend explained: "David and Victoria are so proud of their little daughter. As soon as they are next in Hertfordshire in the UK, they want the duke and duchess to come and see Harper.

David and William struck up a close friendship after they worked together on England's failed bid for the 2018 soccer World Cup.
