http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8156246.stmA former royal protection officer is facing jail after being convicted of a £3m betting and property scam.
Paul Page, 38, of Grays, Essex, conned colleagues and others to fund a life of luxury and a gambling addiction.
The father of five was found guilty of fraud, but cleared of intimidation, and will be sentenced on 30 July.
During his trial at Southwark Crown Court, he claimed colleagues played poker for cash and traded porn in breaks during Buckingham Palace shifts.
Page's barrister John Cooper, who withdrew from the case during the trial leaving Page representing himself, had suggested that Royalty Protection officers posed for pictures on the Queen's throne, and traded pornography at royal palaces.
