Much has been said over the last few days of the Queen's enduring loyalty to her staff - and their devotion to her. This includes Paul Whybrew, her most loyal aide, who today joined the procession carrying HRH to Westminster Hall from Buckingham Palace.
He joined some of Queen Elizabeth II’s most loyal staff, some of whom had served her for decades, in a poignant farewell to her official home. While HRH employed thousands of employees across her homes, she had an incredibly close relationship to a few trusted aides.
This includes Page of the Backstairs Paul Whybrew - nicknamed "Tall Paul" as he stood at 6ft 4in, who was one of the Queen's regular companions in her final days. He was amongst one of "the most powerful" royal aides because he was one of the most trusted, according to former royal butler Grant Harrold.
