A black police bodyguard who protected Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, has won about US$52,000 after suing Scotland Yard for "over-promoting" him because of political correctness.
Sgt. Leslie Turner -- the first black to guard the British royal family -- will receive the "racial discrimination" payout after reaching an out-of-court settlement with London's Metropolitan Police.
His representatives argued Turner landed the prestigious job as the bodyguard of Prince Charles's second wife only because he was black, and that as a result of being over-promoted and not receiving proper training and support, he made mistakes which led to him being re-assigned.
