A royal protection officer was found guilty of a multi-million-pound fraud after a trial that exposed a culture of alcohol and porn poker inside Buckingham Palace.
Paul Page, who was in the elite SO14 royal protection squad, faces a long sentence after living a life of luxury on cash that former colleagues entrusted to him to invest in property. The 38-year-old was convicted of fraudulent trading after a three-month trial that exposed the extraordinary on-duty behaviour of royal protection officers. According to courtroom evidence, they:
* Posed for photos on the Queen’s throne.
* Indulged in a porn poker and drinking culture.
* Handled firearms while drunk.
* Earned up to £60,000 “for doing very little”.
* Fell asleep on duty.
* Muggled friends into garden parties.
* Used police cars to ferry around cash from spread-betting rings.
Evidence during the trial revealed a culture of downtime, porn poker, and drunkenness among royal protection officers at the palace. Quote:
“There was an officer and he did sell porn. He used to get it from Holland, bring it back and sell it to officers while on duty. Everyone knew about it but no one would say anything. You had officers running poker games for money in downtime. If people want to do that that’s fair enough, but senior officers let it go. People would go to sleep on post. I did it, I’m not going to sit here and deny it. Officers would turn up drunk, I’ve turned up with a hangover. Officers in the command are earning £50-60,000 per year with overtime for doing very little. The money was thrown at you because the security level had to be kept up.”
