Hey Everyone,

Just stumbled across this today which I thought was very interesting. It is from New Idea, dated 30 November,2002.

It is titled "Sex, drugs and Royals" by Ingrid Seward, Majesty magazine. :)

Prostitutes, rent boys and drug dealers were all smuggled into Buckingham palace for wild sex and drug parties, according to shocking new reports. Former Royal staff have now revealed that they regularly indulged in ecstasy, LDS and cannabis at the debauched below stairs parties were there were drunken and nude servants running around and gay men dressed in women's clothes. Even more shocking is the fact that the paries were attended by members of the Royal family themselves.

"Parties happened two to three times a week and were attended by dishwashers and Royals alike" former palace aid Geoffrey Todd told British paper News of the world reporters Clive Goodman and Anna Gekoshi. "Princess Diana, Prince Charles. Andrew and Edward used to come. The Queen encouraged the wildest parties. I lost my virginity at the palace". And former Royal housemaids told reporters " Drugs like Pot, ecstasy and acid are routinely available at the palace. At least a quarter of the staff were on something.". :o :x

The Queen is said to be shocked by the reports, which come hot on the heels of weeks of bad publicity over the Paul Burrell trial. Questions are now being asked as to how such breaches of security could have been allowed to go on for so long. The article calims that staff would pick up strangers in nightclubs and bring them back to the palace for sex, putting the Royal family's safety at risk. "They could have been anyone, even a terrorist" says one former Royal footman. "Security there is a joke. One time an American girl was smuggled in, who bragged that she'd let a group of under butlers have sex with her if they showed her around the palace. She got her wish". :x

Another Royal servant revealed how the staff even sneaked prostitutes in to the Queen mother's home, Clarence House, while she was ill in bed. Another told how one servant would watch the Queen drive off for the weekend before letting his drug dealer in to the Palace under a false name. "The Paul Burrell trial has blown the lid on the bizarre behavior of the Royal family and their staff". A Royal source tells New Idea. "They don't live in the real world. Can you imagine any other employer allowing their staff to behave this way?". The insider adds that the staff can get away with o much as the Royal family is so dependent on them. A majority of the staff employed there are Gay, as Liam Brooks, a former footman to the Queen, explains that the large number of gay men at work in Royal households goes back to when the Queen and her sister, the late Princess Margaret were young girls. The Queen mother thought it was better to have men around who were not going to touch them' says Liam who is Gay. He adds "Its not the Royal family that is the problem, It is some of the people who run their households. They are servants - but believe they are Royal".
