David Beckham wishes his daughter, Harper Beckham, a bright future. The soccer star revealed that he is a proud dad of "three boys and one beautiful girl," declaring that he wants his kids to have the same opportunities during his recent inspirational speech at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland on Monday.
"I want my daughter Harper to have the same opportunities as her brothers and that should be the case for all girls everywhere," the athlete said at the ceremony, as shared by U.K. publication Sky News. Today, there are more children in need and at risk than at any time in recent history and it is always the most vulnerable children who face the biggest challenges — especially girls."
