“This shows the police can never be off guard when protecting our Royal Family.”
Court appearance and custody
Mr Egan was due to appear at Bromley Magistrates’ Court in southeast London on Christmas Eve. However, he reportedly refused to leave his prison van and was remanded in custody.
His pleas are expected to be confirmed at his next court hearing on Tuesday.
Where William and Catherine were at the time
While Kensington Palace serves as William and Catherine’s London base, their primary residence is Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. They also make use of the palace’s 20-room Apartment 1A when in the capital.
It is understood that the Prince and Princess of Wales were not at Kensington Palace during either of the alleged intrusions.
In the days leading up to the incidents, the family had been in London preparing for Christmas at Sandringham. During both break-ins, William and Catherine were believed to be staying at Anmer Hall, their private home on the Sandringham estate.
