Mark Woodward
Mark is a retired UK Police Sergeant, firearms authorised and SAS-trained as a close protection bodyguard. His career saw him protecting HRHs Prince Charles, Princess Diana, and their sons, Princes William and Harry. Alongside these high-profile roles, Mark also found himself looking after a fair number of MPs — sometimes more out of necessity than choice. After years of navigating the extremes of life in law enforcement and royal protection, Mark changed direction and became a Funeral Director. Despite the job’s reputation, it was far from morbid — instead, it offered unexpected insights into life’s fragility and the peculiar ways people cope with loss. Now fully retired, Mark faces his toughest challenge yet: living with Stage 4, aggressive, incurable Metastatic Prostate Cancer. Refusing to be defined by his diagnosis, he is documenting his journey with the “Big C” monster by his side, using laughter and honesty as his chief weapons. His story reflects a lifetime of experiencing both the good and the bad that life throws at you. It’s a candid, no-nonsense, straight-talking account of battling cancer head-on, told with a sharp eye and a steady hand.
