Indian royal footman back to slum
The British Royal family's footman who enjoyed world-wide fame on the day of the birth Prince George has returned to the Kolkata slum.
Falling foul of new immigration laws, Badar Azim, a 25-year-old hospitality management graduate, has returned to his family in eastern India, where relatives beaming with pride have welcomed him home.
The young graduate accompanied the Queen's press secretary Ailsa Anderson in placing the announcement of Prince George's birth on an easel outside Buckingham Palace last week.
But just days later, his visa expired; he was unable to renegotiate his right to work in the country; and he quit his coveted post at the Royal Household. He has now arrived home - a world that perhaps couldn't be more different from the life he had lived last week.
