Designer Victoria Beckham was in New York this week to present herSpring/Summer 2015 pre-collection, where she spoke not just about fashion but also about being a mom. She revealed that she was thrilled when she discovered she was pregnant with her fourth child, daughter Harper, 3 – even if she was initially told she would be having another son.

"I was told when I had my scan that I was having another boy at first," she recalled, speaking at New York’s 92nd Street Y. "I felt so lucky to be pregnant, so whether Harper was going to be a boy or a girl I felt very blessed." But shortly before she was due to give birth, Victoria got a "lovely surprise" – doctors told her she was expecting a daughter.
But will Victoria and David be expanding their family? "No," she said with a laugh. "I've got four! I feel like I've done my bit."
The little girl is now known as one of the world's best-dressed celebrity kids, which is no surprise given that her mother is a famous designer who looks great in her own label.
