Son of Victoria and David Beckham has epilepsy

Fearing for her son’s safety while walking through London’s Heathrow airport Victoria Beckham implored paparazzi to stop taking pictures because the flash from their camera could cause her four-year-old son Romeo, to have an epileptic seizure.

The former Spice Girl was reported to have said “Leave him alone. He's got epilepsy. All that flashing will start an epileptic fit. You can't do that.”

Romeo Beckham is on medication to minimize seizures but both David Beckham and his wife fear that the constant presence of paparazzi and their flashing bulbs could cause a life-threatening seizure.

David Beckham and Victoria have two other sons, Brooklyn, age seven and Cruz, age one.
