Since 1982, when the unemployed Michael Fagan climbed up a drainpipe into the Queen’s bedroom and spent ten minutes singing songs to her, break-ins at the homes of members of the royal family have occurred in Britain practically every year. As a rule, the uninvited guests turned out to be either mentally unstable or drunk. On one occasion, a man forced his way into the palace claiming that he was Prince Andrew and that the Queen was his mother; on another, an intoxicated man woke Princess Anne in the middle of the night by knocking on her bedroom door and asking for directions to the subway station. *Quite a few such provocations were staged deliberately. In the summer of 2003, the well-known British comedian Aaron Barschak, dressed in a costume somewhere between a mujahid and a Bedouin, with a fake beard resembling Osama bin Laden’s, walked into Windsor Castle without any trouble for Prince William’s coming-of-age party and even managed to kiss him repeatedly. *Funny article Just imagine what would happen to anyone who tried to kiss Putin’s daughters like that.
