In this episode of Extraordinary Lives, we sat down with Paul Page, a former royal protection officer, providing security to members of the Royal Family.



Paul explains what members of the family were like and why Prince Andrew was the most difficult and unpleasant to deal with.



As well as this, Paul tells us how he became a corrupt cop during his years of service. This culminated in him being jailed for 6 years for running a £3m property investment scam to fund his gambling addiction. Paul reflects on how he's moved on from this time in his life.
