Queen Elizabeth's Footman A Part-Time Wrestler

London, England (BANG) - One of Britain's Queen Elizabeth's footman is a secret part-time wrestler. David Hintz, 23, is a rising star of Capital British Wrestling, in which he fights under the name of David Deville, but has kept his second career hidden from Buckingham Palace chiefs.

He said: "I sometimes find it difficult to juggle the roles because of the traveling required for the wrestling."

"Most fights are at the weekend, and I'm also able to use my holiday quite flexibly."

"I really enjoy my work at Buckingham Palace. But when I was a little kid I always wanted to wrestle. It's great that I can do both."

A royal source commented to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "David is well-liked at the palace - but he's clearly very fit. You wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him. David has been doing his ?15,000-a-year royal job [$23,000] - with which he gets a free flat - for two years. His position involves standing at the side of the monarch's table during meal times in case the queen - a keen wrestling fan, who went to watch a bout starring Big Daddy in the 80s - requires assistance, and riding on the royal carriage during special occasions."
