It’s not known whether the Prince and Princess of Wales were in their residence with their children—Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7— at the time of the break in. The family lives in Adelaide Cottage which is five minutes away on the vast estate that surrounds Windsor Castle.

The break-in comes months after a burglary on the Royal grounds. “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,” Thames Valley Police reported.

“No arrests have been made at this stage and an investigation is ongoing,” the statement concluded. Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their kids were at home at the time of the burglary, per The Sun. It came after the reported removal of armed police officers at the gate that the intruders used. The burglars were targeting farm machinery and used a stolen vehicle to crash through a security gate on the way out.
