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?
