Masked men rob Windsor Castle estate as Prince William and family sleep

Two masked men broke into Britain’s royal Windsor Castle estate in October and stole two vehicles from a bar, it has been reported.

King Charles and his wife Camilla were not in the estate at the time of the incident but Prince William and his family were believed to be at Adelaide Cottage, part of the Windsor Castle estate, The Sun newspaper reported.

The men used a stolen truck to break through a security gate at night and then scaled a two-metre fence.

Local police were called to a report of a burglary on Crown Estate land in Windsor, west of London, just before midnight on October 13.

“Offenders entered a farm building and made off with a black Isuzu pick-up and a red quad bike. They then made off towards the Old Windsor/Datchet area,” Thames Valley Police told the newspaper.

“No arrests have been made at this stage and an investigation is ongoing.”

Windsor Castle previously faced a security scare in 2021 when authorities arrested a man with a crossbow in the grounds of the castle who said he had wanted to kill Queen Elizabeth.
