Masked burglars have stolen farm vehicles from the Windsor Castle estate, it has been reported.

Two men scaled a 6ft fence at night and used a stolen truck to break through a security gate at the royal venue, according to The Sun newspaper.

They then reportedly fled with a pick-up and a quad bike that were stored in a barn. The burglary is said to have happened on October 13.

The King was not in residence, but it’s thought William, Prince of Wales, the Princess of Wales and their three children were asleep at Adelaide Cottage nearby.
