Royal Guard Scandal: Windsor Castle Security Under Scrutiny
More than 20 officers tasked with protecting the royal family have been put on restricted duties amid allegations of misconduct at Windsor Castle. Accusations include falling asleep and abandoning posts. The Metropolitan Police is conducting an investigation to uphold the high standards necessary for these crucial roles.
In a startling revelation, over 20 police officers tasked with safeguarding the royal family are now on restricted duties, following allegations of grave misconduct at Windsor Castle. Complaints include officers caught napping and failing to maintain their duty positions.
The developments come as the Metropolitan Police investigates the Royalty and Specialist Protection command, having issued misconduct notices to 23 officers. The force highlighted the lapse in discipline, particularly concerning essential frontline protective roles.
Currently, affected officers will be restricted from deployment, with investigations extending to other royal residences. Notably, Windsor Castle, venue of King Charles' past meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, remains under scrutiny as Buckingham Palace maintained silence.
