Un fake priest ate and slept at the “home” of the Queen Elizabeth. To be precise a Windsor where the monarch now resides permanently. As reported by the Guardianthe man approached the estate, through the gate he told the royal guards their names Father Cruise and he said he was close friends with a military chaplain, the Reverend Matt Coles, and that he had also been to Iraq. That was enough for him to gain the trust of the soldiers who let him into the barracks near the castle, they have him offered to eat and drink and even a bed to spend the night. A source told British TalkTV that “the soldiers had a lot of fun listening to the jokes and stories” of the fake priest. “The boys only started to get suspicious when he talked about his experience as a helicopter seat tester.” The fact is that authorities were not alerted until the next morningjust three hours before the monarch returned to Windsor Castle after celebrating his 96th birthday in Sandringham. “We received a report of an intruder in Windsor at 9.20am on Wednesday 27 April,” she confirmed Harper’s Bazaar a spokesperson for the Thames Valley police. “The agents accompanied the intruder out of the barracks“.
There are not many other details on the matter, also because the investigations are still ongoing and the investigators keep the utmost confidentiality. The fact is that it is a sensational episode. The Royal Guards – known for their red jackets and black hats – represent the oldest serving regiment of the British Army and their job should be to protect the queen’s residence. This time they would be letting their guard down like never before.
It is not the first time, however, that an intruder has snuck into the queen’s “home”. By Christmas 2021, a 19-year-old masked and armed with a crossbow was trapped on the Windsor estate than in a delusional one video Published on Snapchat a few minutes beforeraid on the castle he had announced that he wanted to kill Elizabeth II “for revenge”. Many years earlier, in the 1982a man, Michael Faganhe had even managed to sneak into the queen’s bedroom. Fagan, at the time thirty-two, unemployed and father of three children, managed to override – “barefoot, scruffy and drunk»- the fences of Buckingham Palace (a four meter high wall with spikes and barbed wire), he took a stroll around the rooms, and taking advantage of the changing of the guard he intruded into the room where The Queen slept blissfully (it was 7 in the morning). His Majesty awoke, found the man sitting on the bed. It had yes a jolt but he did not scream as any mere mortal would. She maintained, even in her nightgown, her royal aplomb. The bell rang to call the valet whoshocked by the presence of the intruder, he in turn called the palace detectives. But what was the daring character doing on Queen Elizabeth’s bed? The man, who had already tried to enter Buckingham Palace a couple of months earlier but had been stopped by a maid, has sworn several times that he had no intention of harming the queen. He wanted to “cheer her up”, since he had recently seen her “a little sad.” He was not arrested but ended up in psychiatry.
