Major Security Breach at Windsor Castle

Palace Intrigue : Kate Middleton - Meghan & Harry - King Charles - Royal Family gossip

It was revealed Windsor Castle experienced a major security breach when burglars broke into a farm on the royal estate and stole vehicles while Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children slept nearby at Adelaide Cottage. The intruders reportedly scaled a 6-foot fence, stole a black Isuzu pick-up and a red quad bike from a barn, and smashed through a gate with the stolen truck to escape.
The incident occurred on Sunday, October 13, around 11:45 p.m. at Shaw Farm, a working area within the castle’s security perimeter. Police believe the burglars had been surveilling the site for some time, knowing precisely where the vehicles were stored and the best escape route.
The stolen vehicles were last seen heading towards Old Windsor and Datchet. The gate they destroyed in their getaway is regularly used by the Wales family as it is the closest exit to Adelaide Cottage.
No alarms were triggered during the break-in, and the first alert came when the intruders damaged the security barrier at the Shaw Farm gate. The breach has raised concerns about the adequacy of Windsor Castle’s security measures, especially given the proximity of the royals’ residence.
Thames Valley Police confirmed the burglary and stated that an investigation is ongoing, but no arrests have been made.
A source told The Sun, ​​"They must have been watching Windsor Castle for a while," "There are alarms at Windsor Castle but the first time anyone knew there was a break-in was when they crashed through the security barrier at Shaw Farm Gate exit," "The barrier has needed to be replaced as it was so badly damaged. It was a Sunday night on a school week so the young princes and princess would have been tucked [up] in bed at Adelaide Cottage, just around the corner but still in the grounds."
ITV quoted a “royal insider” as saying “ the raid was “half a mile from where any Royal would have been sleeping”.
Our insider Deep Crown added, “Perhaps Harry isn’t so crazy staying at a hotel.”
