A week ago, the British Royal House was experiencing one of its most important episodes in recent months. About to end a year marked by the diagnoses of diseases of the King Charles III and Kate MiddletonRemembrance Day marked a before and after due to the prominence of two key figures in the Royal Family. The absence of the Queen Camilla For health reasons he left the Princess of Wales alone with Sofia of Edinburgh on the balcony of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, at a delicate moment. The night before, Kate reappeared at an official event after announcing the end of her chemotherapy treatment and the press praised her attitude.
The truth is that the Princess of Wales had already been fulfilling several commitments on her agenda for some time more inside than outside the Palace, but it was her presence on ‘Remembrance Day’ that left a clear message: things are fine and He does not lack the strength to definitively overcome his illness. Before his video announcement, in which his communication team wanted to convey that the Prince William and her children are her greatest supports, Kate’s rest and relaxation, thus keeping her away from the Crown’s agenda, was the priority so as not to harm her state of health.
It has now become known that, much to her regret, the Princess’s last few months of tranquility have not been free of shocks that may have disturbed the well-being of the ‘royal’ and even the security of the Royal House. It is unusual for the Palace to suffer attacks from abroad due to the high level of police surveillance it has, but the oversights in the changes carried out so as not to alter the integrity of the Crown’s home could have played tricks. Thus, in October, leaving one of the gates of Windsor Castle without security guards allegedly gave a couple of thieves the opportunity to break in and take valuable loot.
Farm without vehicles
According to ‘The Sun’, two men scaled one of the Castle’s fences at night with the aim of stealing agricultural vehicles with the risk of being caught, as it was possible that the Princes of Wales and their children were sleeping in their nearby home of Adelaide Cottage in the Palace grounds, which they moved into in the summer of 2022. “At around 11.45pm on Sunday 13 October, we received a report of a burglary at a property in a Crown Estate land near the A308 in Windsor. The attackers entered a farm and took a black Isuzu truck and a red quad. “Then they headed towards the Old Windsor area,” a police spokesperson confirmed to the media.
According to the source, the raiders “must have been observing Windsor Castle for some time and after armed police were withdrawn from the two main public entrances to the Palace, they would have found the opportunity to enter Shaw Farm, a farm currently in operation within the royal estate, which now has a special surveillance device to patrol the area day and night. Supposedly, the decision to withdraw surveillance was conditioned by the lack of officers trained for the position and by the unrest of tourists who visited the residence and who thought that the presence of armed police meant a possible risk.
Although the Castle only had visible armed agents at the changing of the guard, it has secure security measures inside. “There are alarms at Windsor Castle, but the first time anyone found out there was a robbery was when they broke through the security barrier at the Shaw Farm Gate exit,” said the source, sensing that the thieves “should have known “That the vehicles were stored there before entering and knowing the best time to arrive and escape without being caught.” Thus, the masked men fled using a stolen truck and a quad bike to cross the security barrier, which later had to be replaced due to the state in which it was left. At the moment no arrests have been made, but the possibility has been raised that the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children were sleeping that night in their nearby home, as it occurred on a Sunday before the start of the school week. King Charles III and Queen Camilla were not inside the estate because he was in Scotland and she was possibly resting in India.
This incident is not the first to take place on the Palacio estate. On Christmas Day 2021, an intruder armed with a crossbow also scaled a fence with the intention of taking the Queen’s life, but ended up being imprisoned for treason. In February of this year, another individual was found in the gardens of Windsor Castle completely unarmed but with a suspicious attitude, for which he was arrested and charged with trespassing.
