According to reports, the royal couple and their children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – were asleep and only five minutes away from where “masked intruders” stole two vehicles from the royal residence in west London late on October 13.

A source told GB News, “William and Kate (Catherine) have been pretty shaken up. It's a huge concern that these raiders could scale the fence and make off with the vehicles. The fact that it happened when they (Prince William and family) were so close by and fast asleep, was a big shock to process when they found out. Like any parents, they are constantly worried about the welfare of their children.”

Further, the source described the incident as “frightening and extremely alarming” as it happened in such “close proximity.”

On William, Prince of Wales, “monitoring” the investigation, the source said, “It goes without saying that William would want to be fully informed with whatever measures are deemed necessary moving forward. Like William, Kate has every faith in the security team which protects the family but she says they can't go on like this.”

The family moved into Windsor Castle's Adelaide Cottage in 2022. During the burglary, the raiders stole a pickup truck and a quad bike from Shaw Farm of the Adelaide Cottage.

It is believed that the thieves escaped Shaw Farm by breaking through its gate, understood to be William and Kate’s nearest exit to their home.
