Intruders arrested after security breach on the Queen's Windsor Estate

Two suspected intruders have been arrested following a security breach on the grounds of Queen Elizabeth's Windsor estate.

Her Majesty the Queen has been living at Windsor Castle since March, 2020.

Police were called to the Royal Lodge, which sits within the Windsor Estate along with Windsor Castle Frogmore Cottage – where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle used to live before moving to California.

Officers arrested a man and a woman on April 25 after being called to reports of trespassers in the grounds of the Royal Lodge.

The Royal Lodge is home to the Duke of York and his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York.

"Two people, a 29-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man, both from London, were arrested on suspicion of being found in or upon enclosed premises and have been released under investigation while inquiries continue," police said in a statement.

"There was no risk to any individual on the site."

A Buckingham Palace spokesman declined to comment.

The security breach comes less than a week after a woman gained entry to Prince Andrew's home after allegedly talking her way inside.

The woman, aged 43, spend around 20 minutes on the grounds of the Royal Lodge on April 19 after telling security she was having lunch with the Queen's son.

She managed to get inside the home and was stopped in the lobby after asking a member of staff where she could find the duke.

The woman told staff she was Prince Andrew's fiancée and had come to marry him.

According to The Sun, the woman had arrived in Windsor in a taxi and had even persuaded the duke's security guards to pay her fare.

She allegedly spent some time wandering in the gardens before entering the house.

It's unclear whether Prince Andrew or the Duchess of York were at home at the time.

She was arrested by Thames Valley police but has since been released to be sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

Police say there was no risk to anyone.
