Masked thieves targeted the royal estate where William, Prince of Wales lives with his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales , and their children. The royals live in Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Castle estate with their children Prince George , 11, Princess Charlotte , 9, and 6-year-old Prince Louis and the couple are believed to have been at home when a raid took place at the nearby Shaw Farm with burglars scaling a 1.8m fence to steal several vehicles and then smashing their way through a security gate to escape.
A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “At around 11.45pm on Sunday, October 13, we received a report of burglary at a property on Crown Estate land near to the A308 in Windsor. “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. “No arrests have been made at this stage and an investigation is ongoing.”.
