Prince William and his eldest son, Prince George, have been given a stern warning following a serious security breach at Windsor Castle, raising concerns about their safety. The royal family’s security was compromised while William and his wife, Kate Middleton, were staying with their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—at Adelaide Cottage last month.
Former Scotland Yard detective Mike Neville described the incident as a “bad” security breach and suggested a major review of royal protection is imminent. Speaking to GB News, Neville said, “There will be a major meeting, I imagine, today there’ll be a gold group meeting at Thames Valley Police and with the security services about how the royal family is protected because this is a very, very bad, a breach of security.”
Neville, who has vast experience in law enforcement, emphasized the gravity of the situation, particularly for Prince William and Prince George, who are both heirs to the British throne. He warned that they will always be potential targets, and their security needs to be constantly reassessed. “They [William and Kate] might want to live as normal [a] life as possible, but they don’t live a normal life today … They are targets for all sorts of terrorism; that’s two future kings in that building. So, there’ll be a real massive review here.”
The breach has raised alarm not only for the safety of Prince William and Prince George but also for the future of royal security at sensitive locations like Windsor Castle. With the couple and their children often living in such highly protected environments, the incident underscores the constant threat the royal family faces.
As authorities review their security measures, it’s clear that this incident will prompt significant changes to ensure the safety of the royals, particularly the two future kings. The warning highlights the immense responsibility that comes with their status and the need for heightened vigilance moving forward.
