A 26-year-old man who tried to sell what he claimed was a walking stick used by the late Queen Elizabeth II has been sentenced for defrauding eBay buyers.

1名26歲男子試圖出售他聲稱是已故伊莉莎白二世女王使用的手杖，並因欺騙eBay買家而被判刑。

Dru Marshall, from Hampshire in southern England, claimed he was a senior footman at Windsor Castle and that the proceeds from the sale of the “antler walking stick” would go to cancer research. The auction had reached 540 pounds before he cancelled the listing after learning police had launched an investigation, prosecutors said.
