Thames Valley Police recently disclosed that burglars broke into a farm on the estate surrounding Windsor Castle last month and stole two vehicles. The Sun newspaper reported the break-in, and stated that it occurred on the Windsor estate which is home to the Royal family. The Prince and Princess of Wales were nearby, however, Kensington Palace refused to give any statement regarding their presence during the incident. The farm had one pick-up truck and quad bike stolen, and no arrests have been made yet, according to the authorities.
The police confirmed that King Charles and Queen Camilla were not on the estate when the burglary occurred. Prince William and Catherine reside with their three children in Adelaide Cottage, which is located nearby. Senior royals receive their own police protection, and there have been no indications of any direct danger to anyone from the recent burglary. The Duchess of York occupies Royal Lodge, another property in Windsor, which has its own multi-million pound security arrangements.
The burglary occurred at approximately 11:45 pm on Sunday, October 13th, and involved the trespassers scaling a six-foot perimeter fence and escaping by breaking through a gate with a stolen vehicle. The offenders appear to have entered a farm building, stealing the aforementioned Isuzu pick-up and red quad bike before making a getaway towards the Old Windsor/Datchet area. The incident is still under investigation, and no arrests have been made so far.
There have been previous security incidents at Windsor in the past. On Christmas Day in 2021, Jaswant Singh Chail was arrested within the grounds of Windsor Castle while armed with a crossbow. He was later sentenced to nine years in jail. The Windsor estate, which is located west of London, comprises conservation areas, farms, Windsor Great Park, and famous royal landmarks such as Windsor Castle. Last year, the latter was the UK’s most popular royal tourist attraction, receiving 1.4 million visitors.
