Victoria Beckham was flooded with birthday wishes as she turned 49 on Monday.

The fashion designer has only recently returned with her family from their yacht in Miami where they stayed after a ‘peace summit’ in Palm Beach with daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz.

Yet focus was then shifted to another member of the family as the Beckhams marked Victoria’s big day.

First to mark the occasion was David, who gushed over his wife in a sweet tribute post. The former footballer, 47, shared a sweet throwback snap from their respective Manchester United, Spice Girls heyday.

Also posting was fellow bandmate Mel C, who took the opportunity to make a sly dig at their Spice Girls co-star Geri Halliwell. While wishing Victoria a Happy Birthday, she joked that they are ‘still younger than Geri!’.

Taking to Twitter on Monday, Mel C posted on her Twitter profile: ‘Happy Birthday @victoriabeckham ! If you’re feeling a bit old today remember we’re still younger than Geri! (Love you Ginge!)

‘Have the most wonderful day, love you to pieces and I miss sharing the stage with you, hoping we can do it again some day’.

Geri Halliwell herself shared a celebratory Instagram post where she wished her pal and former bandmate a very happy birthday.

She penned: ‘Happy Birthday @victoriabeckham! �Wishing you a fantastic year ahead ❤️ xxx’, alongside two snaps of the pair when they were in the midst of their jet-setting girl band lifestyle.

Coloured in black and white, the sweet image posted by her doting husband David shows the young footballer place a kiss on his wife’s nose.

Victoria can be seen looking back at her husband with a big grin on her face.

Captioning the image, David penned: ‘Happy Birthday to the most amazing wife and mummy x

‘Someone who inspires us every single day ♥️ we love you and you deserve to have the most perfect day ♥️

‘happy Birthday ♥️ @victoriabeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven ♥️’.

Romeo, 20, also took to Instagram to share a candid shot of the pair cosied up to one another.

It comes after the Beckham family spent Easter with Brooklyn and his wife Nicola at her family’s £76 million Palm Beach mansion, as the dust settled on their recent feud.

Over the bank holiday weekend, the Beckham’s were seen tucking in to a giant Wagyu beef joint at their friend’s restaurant, Papi Steak.

Papi Steak is the brainchild of David’s friend and Miami nightclub tycoon Dave Grutman.

The couple kicked then back on their lavish yacht, named after their daughter Harper Seven, before the Beckham’s headed over to the reported ‘peace summit’ at the Peltz family home, hopping back on their boat after the gathering.

Victoria and Nicola enjoyed a catch up over the Easter weekend after quashing their rumoured rift.

It was said to be a ‘peace summit’ for the families, who have been plagued with rumours of a fall out ever since Nicola tied the knot with Brooklyn last year.

While Victoria and Nicola have been at the centre of the drama, they seemed to be in good spirits as they caught up on Sunday and enjoyed an Easter Egg hunt.

The cold war began when Victoria and Nicola clashed over her wedding dress and the Transformers star accused her new mother-in-law of stealing the limelight at her wedding.

The Beckhams refused to pay for Brooklyn’s US green card, a source claims, and, most recently, the one-time Spice Girl snubbed her son and daughter-in-law for her new Paris Fashion Week show, says another family insider.

Though the newlywed chef and Transformers actress are happy and fawning over each other, trouble had reportedly been brewing between their two houses for some time.

A source who knows Nicola well said the drama began around her and Brooklyn’s Palm Beach, Florida, wedding – and only escalated.

As a celebrity designer, many in the fashion world assumed Victoria would be designing Nicola’s wedding dress. But instead, the bride appeared on the May cover of Vogue in Valentino couture.

Nicola later gave an interview insisting that ditching Victoria’s offer was not designed to be a slight against her new mother-in-law.

‘I was going to and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress,’ she told Variety last month.

But one insider said Nicola ‘never’ intended to wear Victoria Beckham at her wedding.

‘She was always just going to let her design something. But she was never going put that on her,’ the source said. ‘She has too many actually talented designer friends.

‘It’s like when you have an in-law, and they say they make the best meatballs, you hate meatballs, but you let them cook it anyway. That’s exactly what happened.

‘She was never, ever going to wear it.’

Another source with knowledge of the dress controversy was led to believe Nicola really was considering wearing her mother-in-law’s design, but was left in the lurch at the ‘last minute.’

‘Valentino was concerned that they didn’t’ have enough time to do the dress because Victoria didn’t tell the Peltzes that her atelier couldn’t make the dress for Nicola until the last minute,’ the second source said.

After the dress drama unfolded, Nicola became offended when David and Victoria’s close friend ​​Marc Anthony gave a gushing speech at her wedding – all about Victoria, according to one insider.

‘It was totally just an ode to Victoria and how awesome she is. Nicola loves to be the center of attention, especially on her wedding day. So this really, really p***ed her off,’ the source said.

‘She stormed off in the middle of her wedding reception with [sister] Brittany and her mom, and was crying her eyes out.’

With the dust apparently settled on Sunday, Beckham daughter Harper gleefully ran around the grounds collecting chocolate treats, while the other members of the family were seen out enjoying the sunshine and bonding together.

The Beckham/Peltz reunion culminated in an Easter dinner at the Peltz mansion, which was described as a ‘peace summit’.

In the year since aspiring chef Brooklyn and his heiress wife’s lavish nuptials, the family has been plagued with rumours of a fallout between the latter and mother-in-law Victoria.

According to The Sun, they decided to throw a big family Easter to welcome back Brooklyn and Nicola returning from their trip to Tokyo for the holidays.

An insider told the publication: ‘The couple have spent the last few days in Tokyo but wanted to gather both families in Palm Beach for a low-key Easter Sunday dinner to commemorate their first year as a married couple.’
