David P. Roberts, an unassuming Brit, was Whitney Houston's real life Bodyguard for eight years, during the time Whitney rose to international fame until her career altered dramatically.
He is legendary in the professional bodyguard business and is known as the 'Bodyguard's Bodyguard'.
David Roberts graduated with honors from the British Royal Air Force Police Academy and served in the Royal Air Force Police, with distinction.
He then joined the British Police Force and served in the North Wales Police before transferring to New Scotland Yard, having passed all examinations through to the rank of Inspector.
David became a marksman with the Metropolitan Police firearms Unit. During his service David Roberts was Met Police Sniper Team Leader at the SAS Control Center for initiating entry to the Iranian Embassy during the famous embassy siege- Operation Nimrod - 5th May 1980. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Embassy_Siege
Thereafter David Roberts was appointed as Supervisory officer at the Royal and Diplomatic Protection Group. The RDPG are responsible for providing armed protection to members of the Royal Family of Britain and visiting diplomats and dignitaries to the United Kingdom, under the terms of the Vienna Convention. During his time with Royalty and Diplomatic Protection David Roberts provided such services for Heads of State, Prime Ministers and dignitaries of other countries and their high ranking diplomats.
He has received extensive training in advanced close protection and counter terrorism techniques from the foremost Special Forces unit, the British Special Air Service (SAS), and is highly trained in the Martial Arts.
On leaving Government service David formed a number of successful security companies in London, England.
As a private bodyguard David provided close protection for heads of Fortune 500 company and high profile personalities from the entertainment world. On recommendation of the U.S. Embassy in London England, David Roberts was appointed Director of International Security for Ms. Whitney Houston and provided close personal protection for eight years.
He now runs a very successful company British American Consultants Inc. http://www.britishamerican.net/ based in New York NY.
David is rumored to having been asked to become a consultant (to inject some reality) in the re-make of the film The Bodyguard, should this ever come to fruition.
He bears no resemblance to the character portrayed in the film 'The Bodyguard'.
David Roberts is soon to release a book entitled 'Bodyguard the Knowledge', which contains a great deal of practical information for those in the profession or for executives who may be considering the appointment of close protection operatives.
How do I know this? I have had the honor to have been considered a friend for more than twenty years and although David remains tight lipped about his role in keeping the world's most famous Diva safe from harm he should be acknowledged for his achievements.
Real world body guarding is not the easy life portrayed in the film; either for the client or the bodyguard.

Patricia Watson Garland is the REAL wicked half sister-N-law who married Whitney's half brother Gary Garland. They both changed their names to Houston for some strange reason not long before Whitney was killed. Now, Patricia Watson Garland is strangely "Pat Houston and he (Gary) is now Gary Houston. Also, I believe the movie body guard was REAL for Whitney because it turned out that Pat is that character played by this woman.....really wicked. She took all of Whitney's things and sold them immediately after Whitney passed.
