Speaking in March, he told the : “I just tell her, find that one thing that you love and just put your head down, don’t listen to anyone.”
The comments are particularly poignant in light of the family drama and Brooklyn’s very telling Instagram post, which is said to have been a dagger to his parents’ hearts.
The 26-year-old, who was always very close to Harper, surprised fans yesterday with his pointed message.
Harper turns 14 in July and family sources hope it will be resolved by then.

"It’s very sad for everyone involved, especially David and Victoria who love him very much. This isn’t the Brooklyn his family knows and loves.
“This post was like a dagger to their hearts but they will always be there for Brooklyn.”
And in a further sign the Brooklyn has also distanced himself from his siblings - just hours later brother Cruz, 20, declared his love for his parents in another Instagram post.
Sharing a picture of David and Victoria with all four of their children, Cruz wrote: “I love my family, I love you guys more than anything.
“Mum and dad, you gave us life and cared for us no matter what.
“I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives x.”

Brooklyn flew to London last Monday to film an ad near the Chelsea Flower Show, where former England football captain David, 50, was meeting King Charles.
But a contact close to his parents claims Brooklyn did not tell his family he was coming.
Tensions became public when Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge fashion designer Victoria, 51, on Mother’s Day. He then failed to show at any of David’s 50th birthday parties.

His mum and dad have continued to acknowledge him on social media, but pals of Brooklyn and Nicola suggested that was for show.

MY VIEW

AS the saying goes, “A son is a son till he takes him a wife, a daughter is a daughter all her life.”
No-one is feeling that more acutely right now than Victoria Beckham. But she’s not alone.
My own experience of witnessing my mother’s pain and confusion as her son slowly became more isolated from us, his blood family, was, and still is, dreadful.
Things all start off rosy and then, bit by bit, the relationship gets chipped away to dust.
Contact becomes so fleeting that conversations about that person stop because it’s all just too painful to keep dredging up.
My brother and I now send a cursory text once a year to wish one another a happy birthday - and we only do it to keep my mother happy.
I last saw him at her wedding in 2018 when we walked her down the aisle and the next time will probably be in that same church on a far sadder occasion.
Victoria and David are facing years of anguish unless Brooklyn steps up and takes control.
I’ve gone past caring when it comes to my own brother, in my eyes the pain and upset he has caused my parents is unforgivable.
But for my lovely mum and dad, the enduring love they have for their son will never dissipate.
Brooklyn has made his feelings crystal clear, just like my brother. His family is now his wife.
I’m sorry to say it but Victoria and David, and Brooklyn's siblings, have got years of heartache to come.
