Windsor Castle, one of Britain’s most iconic royal estates, was recently targeted by criminals in a daring heist. According to reports from the Sun newspaper, two masked men managed to break into the castle’s estate last month and make off with two vehicles from a barn.
Fortunately, King Charles and his wife Camilla were not present on the estate at the time of the incident. However, Prince William and his family were believed to be staying at Adelaide Cottage, which is part of the Windsor Castle estate.
The thieves used a stolen truck to force their way through a security gate under the cover of night. They then proceeded to scale a six-foot fence to access the property. Local police were alerted to the burglary on Crown Estate land in Windsor, located to the west of London, just before midnight on October 13th.
Thames Valley Police confirmed the details of the incident, stating that the offenders had broken into a farm building and made off with a black Isuzu pick-up truck and a red quad bike. The stolen vehicles were last seen heading towards the Old Windsor/Datchet area. As of now, no arrests have been made, and an investigation into the matter is currently underway.
This is not the first security breach that Windsor Castle has experienced. In 2021, authorities arrested a man with a crossbow on the castle grounds who claimed to have intentions of harming Queen Elizabeth. The incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing security challenges faced by the royal family and their residences.
As the investigation into the recent burglary continues, security measures at Windsor Castle are likely to be reviewed and reinforced to prevent similar incidents in the future. The royal family and their staff remain vigilant in ensuring the safety and security of the historic estate.
