Queens chauffeur’s 21-year-old girlfriend, described as a £200-an-hour Lithuanian prostitute

Royal chauffeur was suspended on Sunday after reportedly giving two undercover journalists a tour of the Queen’s official cars in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, a spokeswoman said.The News Of The World tabloid newspaper said its reporters, posing as wealthy Middle Eastern businessmen, paid the chauffeur £1000 to let them in, after making contact through his prostitute girlfriend.The Queen was in residence at the time of the alleged security breach on Friday, said the paper, which published photos of one of its reporters sitting in a royal Bentley, as well as video of the illicit tour.“We can confirm an individual has been suspended pending an investigation,” a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said after the alleged incident, which follows a number of similar security gaffes in recent years.
London’s Metropolitan Police also said they were worried by the report.Scotland Yard said in a statement:
“We are naturally concerned about the issues raised by this story and are liaising with palace officials about their staff security arrangements,”
The two journalists got into the palace grounds without being searched or checked, despite walking right past a uniformed police officer in a security booth, the newspaper reported.As well as the Bentley, which is used for state occasions, the chauffeur also showed the reporters the Queen’s personal car, a 2005 V8 Daimler with a floor specially raised to suit the monarch, it reported.
The paper quoted the chauffeur as saying:
“She’s got slightly short legs, so the floor has been raised to suit her. It’s kind of built around her. It’s tailor-made for her,”
“She only uses it because it’s British and she got it at a discounted rate,”
He added, before also showing the undercover reporters Princess Anne’s green Bentley.
The royal driver, Brian Sirjusingh, originally from Trinidad, also gave sensitive information including code names for two of the vehicles, pointed out security weaknesses in the cars, and revealed the Queen’s private travel plans for the weekend.The tour was arranged after the newspaper contacted the chauffeur’s 21-year-old girlfriend, described as a £200-an-hour Lithuanian prostitute, and then pretended they were interested in seeing the royal cars.The chauffeur did not know that his girlfriend worked as a prostitute, it added, quoting her as saying:
“I’m sure he wouldn’t be happy to know it but he can’t really help me financially, so … “The incident would not be the first time security at Buckingham Palace and other royal palaces has been violated in recent years.In 2003, a journalist from the Daily Mirror newspaper got a job as a footman at Buckingham Palace - the monarch’s London residence - with a false reference.This allowed him access to the Queen’s breakfast table and the bedroom where then US president George Bush and his wife were due to stay on an imminent state visit.At Windsor Palace - the Queen’s favourite home, just west of London - two journalists from The Sun newspaper claimed to have smuggled a fake bomb past security days before the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles in the town in 2004.And in 2003, Aaron Barschak, a comedian dressed as Osama bin Laden, gatecrashed Prince William’s 21st birthday party at Windsor.

They weren't really pants at all, but he got upset and I got a citation. All people will have seen is this half-naked girl on the street yelling, 'It's fashion! I'm an artist!'

Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter, Exodus, is on life support at St. Joseph's Hospital

Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter, Exodus, is on life support at St. Joseph's Hospital on Monday, May 25 morning. Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill who is in charge of the case, informed FOX News that her condition is "extremely critical".
Exodus, according to The Associated Press, was in an accident involving a home exercise equipment in their Phoenix home. "Somehow she was playing on this treadmill," Hill explained, "and there's a cord that hangs under the console - it's kind of a loop. Either she slipped or put her head in the loop, but it acted like a noose, and she was obviously unable to get herself off of it."
Her 7-year-old brother was the first to find her with the cable around her neck and he alerted the girl's mother who was at that time in another room. She immediately took the girl off the cable and called 911 before trying to revive her.
Officers and firefighters came to the scene and performed CPR as the girl was rushed to a nearby hospital. She is said to be in a life-support. Mike Tyson himself was not at home when the incident happened. He was in Las Vegas but straight away took a flight to Phoenix after told about it. Local TV stations have captured the heavyweight boxer entering the hospital in a white button-up shirt, frowning as he walked inside. So far police has concluded that there was no foul play. "There's nothing in the investigation that revealed anything suspicious," Hill said.
