Blue Ivy Carter and Harper Beckham at age 10: how do their childhoods compare? Besides famous parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z, and Posh and Becks, they are both budding fashionistas born into major wealth
- They could follow in their parents’ footsteps: Blue Ivy sang on Beyoncé’s ‘Homecoming: The Live Album’, The Lion King’s OST and Jay-Z’s song Glory, which charted on Billboard
- Harper is a fashion icon like her mum, wearing Burberry and Gucci as a toddler, while Blue Ivy has worn Ivy Park for an NBA game – they’re also both set to inherit millions
Harper Seven Beckham, daughter of David and Victoria Beckham, and Blue Ivy Carter, daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, were born in July 2011 and January 2012 respectively, making them both 10 years old as of today. While their birth years differ, they are actually only five months apart and the two coincidently have many similarities.
Here we take a look at the two children who, despite living on different continents, share more in common than you might think.
Unique names
Both girls have uncommon names. Harper’s name was inspired by mum Victoria’s favourite book, To Kill a Mockingbird, according to a 2011 Facebook post from dad David. Her middle name, besides being her dad’s football jersey number, holds another special meaning. “The main reason behind Seven was it symbolises spiritual perfection – the seven wonders of the world, the seven colours of the rainbow – and in many cultures it is a lucky number,” David wrote.
