- Burglary during the royals absence
- Security breach at Windsor Castle
- Imptact on the royal family
Last month, Windsor Castle's security faced a serious challenge when masked intruders broke into the royal estate. With King Charles (76) and Queen Camilla (77) away, Prince William (42), Princess Kate (42), and their children were sleeping nearby at Adelaide Cottage. The burglars scaled a two-meter fence and stole two agricultural vehicles from Shaw Farm, located within the castle grounds.
Burglary during the royal absence
Taking advantage of the absence of King Charles and Queen Camilla, the intruders executed a calculated break-in. "They must have been watching Windsor Castle for some time," a source told 'The Sun'. Adelaide Cottage, the residence of Prince William and Princess Kate, is a mere five-minute walk from the scene, heightening concerns about the breach.

The incident unfolded at Shaw Farm, a working farm on the estate. The thieves appeared familiar with the farm’s layout, targeting the vehicles and timing their escape precisely. Although alarm systems were active, the break-in was discovered only when the security barrier at Shaw Farm Gate was destroyed, necessitating immediate repairs.
Impact on the royal family
The break-in occurred late on a Sunday evening, during a school week, with the royal children asleep at the time. The close proximity of the incident to Adelaide Cottage has prompted significant scrutiny of current security protocols. Questions are being raised about the effectiveness of the measures in protecting the royal family and their residence.
