Masked burglars broke into farm buildings on the Windsor Castle estate owned by the royal family, where Prince William, his wife Kate Middleton, and their three children live in a nearby residence, police confirmed on Monday.
The news broke in the British tabloid The Sun. According to the outlet, the two burglars were able to breach a six-foot fence around the property in their quest to gain access to the farm equipment. They reportedly used a stolen vehicle to crash through the security gate on their way out.
