Couple Addresses Windsor Break-In Amid Holiday Preparations
Prince William and Kate Middleton are grappling with safety concerns following a security breach near their Windsor home, Adelaide Cottage, while also preparing for the Princess of Wales’s annual Christmas Carol concert.
Last week, two masked intruders reportedly attempted to steal farm vehicles on the Windsor Castle grounds, smashing a gate close to the couple’s residence. According to royal photographer Arthur Edwards, the Prince and Princess are “burning the midnight oil” to address the issue after the alarming incident.
The break-in, described as “frightening,” has raised concerns about the safety of the royal family. Edwards remarked, “They must be quite worried… William probably had some questions to ask, but they just went for the vehicles, not to harm anybody.”
While Edwards acknowledged the vastness of the Windsor estate likely kept the culprits far from Adelaide Cottage itself, the incident has left the couple understandably unsettled.
Despite the scare, Kate is forging ahead with preparations for her Together at Christmas Carol concert, personally sending out invitations to the festive event. However, her focus on the concert meant she missed the annual diplomatic dinner at Buckingham Palace, which Prince William attended alone.
The security breach underscores the challenges the royal couple faces as they balance their public roles and private lives, particularly during a busy holiday season.
