The Royal rumbler

Fri Nov 28 02:04PM

It has been revealed today that the Queen has her own private wrestler working as her protector in Buckingham Palace.

David Hintz, 23, is a rising talent on the British wrestling circuit as well as a full-time footman at The Palace.

By day David's job is to stand at the side of the dinner table in case Her Majesty requires his assistance and on ceremonial occasions he will ride on the carriages ready to protect the Queen. But by night (and weekends) David lives his dream of being a professional wrestler.

Mr Hintz, who is 5ft 11in, has tried to keep his fights secret from his colleagues at the Palace. "I sometimes find it difficult to juggle the roles because of the travelling required for the wrestling," he told The Sun.

The Queen is a big fan of wrestling and in the 1980s she was famously hooked on the sport thanks to the likes of Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks.

David, who fights under the name ‘David Deville', has a fan base of nearly 800 people and his fight taking place this weekend will be screened on Sky. Perhaps one special fan will be tuning in?

The Queen is a free agent like all in the United kingdom to hire people for whatever she wishes same as i could hire someone to work for me. Ok so he protects the queen and is also a pro wrestler so what? God save the Queen and she is the judge of who protects her. Remember the Royal family do a lot for tourism and the moral of the country so lets not be so quick to judge. Afterall he is a trained fighter of a sort so why shouldnt he be a bodyguard? Afterall he might also have other training and im sure he has so lets not judge, lets face it most of us dont get bodyguards and if her Majesty thinks he is ok he is. God save the Queen and up the royals we love you!
