An employee of Queen Elizabeth II found himself in financial difficulties and stole the Queen several times.
Now he has been punished for his actions.
Queen Elizabeth II was
robbed
three times
by her employee.
He stole objects of inconceivable value.
Then he hawked them on Ebay for a ridiculous price.
London - She trusted him, but he betrayed her:
Queen Elizabeth II
was
robbed
by her own
employee
.
Adamo Canto was hired as a waitress.
Initially he was responsible for catering to the
queen
.
When the
corona pandemic
began, he was given additional cleaning duties to improve the quality of hygiene at Buckingham Palace.
In this way he was able to gain access to many of the monarch's apartments.
He shamelessly took advantage of this opportunity and stole numerous
objects
of inconceivable value.
But that's not all: He then put them up
for auction on
Ebay
.
Royals: Queen Elizabeth stolen from her own employee
As
reported by the
BBC
, the 37-year-old confessed to
three thefts
in the Magistrates' Court in London.
He carried out this between November 2019 and August 2020. The police found part of his spoil in his quarters in the royal palace.
In total, he stole
77 items
, valued at 10,000 to 100,000 pounds.
He offered some of them for sale on Ebay, according to the responsible public prosecutor.
Almost half of the stolen items were sold “well below” their real value on the auction platform.

also took
signed photos
of Prince Harry, Prince William and Kate as well as gold
watches

A Vice Admiral Master finally discovered the thief.
Tony Johnstone-Burt looked in vain for a valuable
medal
to wear to the Queen's military parade on the occasion of her birthday.
When he couldn't find it, other employees made him aware that it was up for auction on Ebay.
Now the thief has been sentenced and "only" has to
go to prison
for
eight months
.
"They had financial difficulties and found that this was the way out," the judge in charge concluded.
Nevertheless, he classified his crimes as so serious that he considered the prison sentence to be justified.
