All parents know about kids’ pester power, but it seems some offspring can be even more influential.
This week the Beckhams’ delightful daughter Harper – seen with dad David at England women’s World Cup game – was listed by posh society magazine Tatler at number four in its Social Power Index.
It noted she jets between LA, London and the Cotswolds, and her sixth birthday party was at Buckingham Palace.
Clearly being the daughter of a football legend and pop star-turned fashionista is going to give Harper now seven, advantages in life.
But as Grace Macaskill found she isn’t the only child of the rich and famous to influence their parents and perhaps in the future the wide world – into indulging them.

Hollywood legend Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes.
Suri is the natural rival to Harper Beckham when it comes to fashion.
By five, she was wearing clothes from brands such as Armani and Burberry. She even owned her own D&G bag worth £1,500.
When she was six, Disney World closed the Cinderella Castle so she could stay in an apartment that cannot be booked by the public.
Before her folks divorced in 2012, Suri was used to flying around the world in a private jet but mum Katie tries to keep her grounded with low-profile trips to the zoo and museums in New York.
In contrast, Tom is said to lavish her with expensive gifts and once took her to the beach in a helicopter.

The keen dancer lives with Gwynnie at her £7million pad in LA and holidays all over the world.
She counts Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter among her circle of friends and calls Jay-Z “uncle”.
Stars such as Demi Moore, Rachel Zoe and US comedian Erin Foster are visitors to her home.
Apple is said to want to follow in her dad Chris’s footsteps.
She and brother Moses, 13, sang with Chris at a fundraiser in Malibu.
It’s thought they were brought up with a “classical education” after Gwyneth advertised for a nanny passionate about the arts, fluent in three languages and able to play two instruments.

Parents: Actress Angelina Jolie and movie star Brad Pitt.
Vivienne has already shown star potential.
She had a role alongside mum Angelina in the 2014 film Maleficent.

The family reportedly spent £400,000 to stay at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York and rented a floor of the Hilton on a trip to Malta.

Harper, who had a bob like fashion guru Anna Wintour, jets all over the world and has a wardrobe to rival even her fashion designer mum.
She celebrated her sixth birthday with a tea party at Buckingham Palace in Prince Andrew’s private residence.
Her godmother is Hollywood A-lister Eva Longoria and she attends one of the most expensive schools in London.
