Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s Windsor Castle was burglarized in October, leaving fans speculating about the lack of security. News of the robbery recently broke, with sources revealing two suspects had invaded the property and escaped. The Thames Valley Police shared that the incident occurred “at a property on Crown Estate land” on October 13. The two suspects accessed the royal estate at 11:45 PM local time through a farm building. They stole two vehicles, “a black Isuzu pickup and a red quad bike.”
Following the break-in, the two suspects reportedly ventured to a nearby town and remain at large. It was unclear if authorities have made any progress in the case as the investigation remains open. Fortunately, the Prince and Princess of Wales were not harmed by the burglary. King Charles III and Queen Camilla own Windsor Castle, but they primarily reside at Clarence House. As for Prince William and Kate, they live in Adelaide Cottage, a few miles from where the break-in occurred. Surprisingly, this was not the first home invasion, as the royal estate has experienced several unwanted guests.
One of the most infamous cases occurred in 2021 when a man invaded Windsor Castle by climbing a fence. He broke onto the estate with a crossbow, attempting to kill Queen Elizabeth II, who was on the property. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen, as the culprit was caught before causing any damage. The man received a 9-year prison sentence for his crimes, including treason and possession of an offensive weapon. He was also punished for making threats to kill, per TMZ. Given such a terrifying ordeal, it was shocking that Windsor Castle still lacked adequate security, a sentiment fans echoed.
