Two intruders sparked a major security scare when they broke into the Queen's sprawling estate in Windsor.
The suspects - a 31-year-old man and his 29-year-old girlfriend - reportedly scaled fences at the Royal Lodge on April 25, close to where the 95-year-old monarch goes for walks with her corgis and rides horses.
The suspects were arrested in the lodge grounds, which includes the All Saints Chapel where the Queen attends Sunday service, as well as her son Prince Andrew's home.
Security was said to be on "high alert" at the time, as just days earlier a woman was allegedly mistakenly allowed into the lodge grounds by guards.
It is said that she entered the Royal Lodge while Andrew, 61, was home, and was stopped by a member of staff.
Security are said to have even paid for the 43-year-old woman's cab fare when she arrived at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park, where the Duke of York lives with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
The woman, thought to be a Spanish national, claimed she was there to have lunch with the duke, and spent about 20 minutes walking around the gardens, it is alleged.
It is said that she then entered the Grade II-listed building, where the Queen's son was home at the time, until she was eventually held in the lobby after asking a worker where the duke was.
The woman allegedly told the staff member she was engaged to Andrew and was there to get married to him.
Thames Valley Police arrested the woman on suspicion of burglary and later de-arrested and sectioned her under the Mental Health Act.
The incident occurred two days after Philip's funeral.
