The year 2024 will not have spared Kate Middleton and Prince William. “It was terrible. It's probably the hardest year of my life“, the Prince of Wales recently told the press, after his trip to South Africa. “It has been very difficult trying to cope with everything else and stay on course.“
Between the cancer of King Charles III and that of his wife, the heir to the throne went through a dark period without ever wavering. A true pillar of the clan in the midst of a crisis, he was the only one able to assume his duties while his loved ones recovered from the illness.
As the holidays approach, William now wants only one thing: to turn the page on these trying months and open a more serene chapter. But the respite is still awaitedbecause the couple recently had to face a new traumatic event.
Kate, William and their children victims of a burglary
According to the latest issue ofHere ParisKate, William and their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, experienced a night of anguish between October 13 and 14, 2024. The little family would indeed have been victim of a burglary while she was staying at the royal estate in Windsor.
According to the magazine, several hooded individuals would have entered the castle grounds “by scaling a fence then breaking through a gate forcing him aboard a stolen truck“.
Luckily, the thugs only remained on the scene for a handful of minutes and would not have had time to explore the entire area. Although they fled before the arrival of the police, they still managed to take away “agricultural equipment as well as two vehicles, a pick-up and a quad“, used for their escape.
Reinforced domain security
Always according to Here Paris, there would not be no injuries to reportbut this intrusion raises serious questions about the security of the Windsor estate. In fact, no alarm was triggered, and the criminals seem to have gained access to the premises with disconcerting ease.
“These individuals seemed to know how to do it and must have spent a lot of time scouting“, said the local police.
On the side of the royal family, “surveillance cameras have been added and now alarms will go off if people cross certain areas“.
