The controversial picture was posted by the former Spice Girls member for Harper’s fifth birthday, reported Ace Showbiz.

Social media users attacked the fashion designer for the innocent photo, writing things like, “It’s nice but you’re not supposed to kiss you’re children on the lips. I’m not trying to be rude but it’s true.”

However, Victoria, 42, has since been defended by mothers who have shared photos of themselves kissing their kids.
