Man Charged After Trespassing at Kensington Palace Before Christmas

Описание: A 39-year-old man named Derek Egan has been charged with trespassing on the grounds of Kensington Palace, the historic London residence where Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales maintain an apartment, after breaking in twice just days before Christmas. According to police, Egan entered the palace grounds on December 21 and again on December 23, despite being released on bail with strict conditions after the first incident. He was spotted on Palace Green in Kensington, scaling a fence and entering the restricted area, leading to his arrest by the Metropolitan Police, who confirmed the charges of trespassing on a protected site and breaching bail conditions. Egan later appeared in Westminster Magistrates’ Court, where his formal plea hearing was set for early January, and a judge denied him bail, citing concerns he could face a custodial sentence if convicted due to the seriousness of the offence. The palace intrusion raised security concerns given the high profile of the residence, although officials stressed that Egan did not enter the main residence and that neither Prince William nor the Princess of Wales was present at Kensington Palace during the incidents; the couple and their children were believed to be at their country home, Anmer Hall, on the Sandringham estate for the Christmas holidays. The case highlights ongoing diligence around royal security, especially at Kensington Palace, which regularly houses members of the royal family and staff. Authorities continued to monitor the situation, with the next court hearing scheduled to address Egan’s charges and further legal proceedings.
