Posh took to Instagram to share an adorable picture of the two sharing a kiss, not knowing that the picture which has received over 5,000 comments would also divide public opinion.

"Normally with a member of your family you don't kiss on the lips unless it's your husband," she said. "With children, I wouldn't have thought it's a particularly good habit to get into but it's her child and she's at liberty to do what she thinks is best," she said.
"I would be uncomfortable doing that and I think most people would be. If she feels it's appropriate, so be it. I wouldn't say it sets a particularly good example," she added.
