Queen Elizabeth: “Tall Paul” supports you to get fit again
After Queen Elizabeth, 95, recently had to spend a night in hospital, she had to cancel her participation in the UN climate conference COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, with a heavy heart. In addition, the monarch will only attend digital appointments in the next two weeks, the queen should take a rest on the advice of her doctors, the palace confirmed.
During this time she has one person above all at her side: Favorite courtier Paul Whybrew, 62, who is also known as “Tall Paul” because of his height of 1.90 meters. The 62-year-old is considered indispensable by the monarch, watches television with her and is one of the few people allowed to keep the Queen company while recovering.

Paul Whybrew was also seen in the London 2012 Olympics opening sketch when the Queen was out for a walk with Daniel Craig, 53. A source at the palace confirmed to DailyMail: “The Queen is very grateful for the loyal support she has received from him.”
