ROMEO Beckham was pulled over by cops for scrolling on his phone while a dog was also loose in his Porsche, a court heard.
The 23-year-old model was pulled over in Westminster last September after a cop caught him on his phone at a red light.
It comes after his brother Brooklyn starred in a World Cup ad that appeared to take a “cheap shot” at his estranged parents.
In January, the Beckhams’ eldest son made a dozen explosive accusations in a ruthless statement hitting out at his family.
Romeo has stood by his parents throughout the family fallout with his brother.
Over the weekend, 14-year-old daughter Harper was seen delivering a letter to the house Brooklyn shares with his wife Nicola Peltz.
The couple were not home at the time and have not yet responded.
They quickly hit back at the Beckhams, claiming the letter felt like an “orchestrated move by his family” – insisting it “made them feel uncomfortable.”
But a source close to the family called it “another untrue and unfair accusation”.
In a statement, the officer said Beckham was “distracted” and did not have proper control of the supercar.
David and Victoria Beckham‘s second son was snared on September 16 last year, while waiting at a red traffic light in Westminster, just before 11.20am.
The cop said he passed the Porsche 911 Carrera and assessed the driver as being “distracted” due to the scene inside.
“As I passed the vehicle on its nearside, I looked down to my right and noted that there was an unrestrained dog sitting on the female passenger’s lap,” he wrote in his statement.
“The female had her head down and was holding a mobile phone.
“I looked across at the driver. I saw that he too had his head tilted down and appeared to be looking down at a mobile phone he was holding low in his lap, near the base of the steering wheel.
“I could see that he was scrolling on the device with his thumbs.”
The cop pulled Beckham over and confronted him, and said he offered “words of advice concerning the insecure load, namely the dog”.
Rule 57 of the Highway Code sets out that dogs must be “suitably restrained” in a vehicle.
A driver can be prosecuted for driving without proper control or careless driving if it is assessed the animal is causing a distraction or affecting the quality of the driving.
This came days after he had debuted a new platinum blonde buzzcut at a New York Fashion Week event.
Two days later, Beckham made his runway debut at London Fashion Week at the H&M show.
Police say he was given the chance to pay a fine and go on a driver awareness course to avoid criminal proceedings over using his phone in the car, but he did not respond to the offer.
The court said Beckham did not enter a plea to the charge when written to at his luxury south-west London apartment, and he was convicted on the basis of the police evidence on Thursday last week.
At Westminster Magistrates’ Court last Thursday, Beckham was convicted of being a driver not in a position to have proper control, and issued with a £440 fine with three penalty points for his licence.
He was also ordered by magistrate Phillip Jordan to pay £130 in costs and a £176 victim surcharge.
The court case comes almost exactly seven years since his father, Sir David Beckham, was banned from driving for six months for using his mobile phone at the wheel.
In that 2019 case, the former footballer admitted being on his phone in slow moving traffic in the West End.
He told a court he would miss driving his children – Romeo, then 16, Cruz, then 14, and Harper, then seven – to school while serving the ban.
Meanwhile David and Victoria’s eldest son appears to have cashed in on the family drama to promote DoorDash – a food delivery service.
The World Cup advert went live on social media after we revealed Brooklyn spurned his sister Harper’s attempt at a reconciliation.
In the ad, he says to the camera: “You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home…”
Smirking Brooklyn then laughs: “It’s a long story.”
He goes on to throw down his tickets onto the coffee table.
The advert then says: “It’s complicated. More soon.”
It’s a nod to 27-year-old Brooklyn’s estrangement from his famous parents David, 51, and Victoria, 52, as well as his brothers and sister and wider family for over a year.
