‘They must have been watching Windsor Castle for a while,’ a source told The Sun
King Charles and his wife Camilla were not at the estate but Prince William and his family were believed to be at Adelaide Cottage, part of the Windsor Castle estate. The prince and his family are regularly seen using the wrecked gate — the nearest exit to their home.
Local police said officers were called to investigate a burglary that occurred at the estate on Crown Estate before midnight on Oct. 13.
“Offenders entered a farm building and made off with a black Izuzu pickup and a red quad bike. They then made off towards the Old Windsor/Datchet area,” Thames Valley Police said. “No arrests have been made at this stage and an investigation is ongoing.”
The large estate, west of London, includes working farms, conservation areas, Windsor Great Park and famous royal landmarks, such as Windsor Castle.
Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on the incident.
