According to the details, two intruders were arrested last week after breaking into the Queen’s Windsor estate, which includes the Royal Lodge where Prince Andrew resides.
Thames Valley Police said a 29-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man, both from London, were arrested after a report of intruders on the grounds of the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park on April 25. Police said there was no risk to anyone at the lodge, Andrew’s official residence.
The Sun reported that during the earlier incident, a 43-year-old woman spent 20 minutes on the grounds of the lodge after telling security guards she was having lunch with the monarch’s son.
A woman who claimed to be engaged to Prince Andrew was able to wander around his Windsor home after being mistakenly let in by bungling guards, it is claimed. Security are said to have even paid for the 43-year-old woman’s cab fare when she arrived at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, where the Duke of York lives with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
The woman, thought to be a Spanish national, claimed she was there to have lunch with the duke and spent about 20 minutes walking around the gardens, it is alleged.
Koch and fellow Sunrise host Natalie Barr were speaking to royal editor Robert Jobson about the breaches, with the expert calling the situation a “bit of a mess up”.
“I mean they [the security] should be much more alert than they are,” he told the hosts.
He then went on to talk about the initial woman who claimed to be the Duke’s fiancée. “I’m not quite sure what the security guard was thinking because he has been divorced for some time.”
