He broke into the QUEEN's bedroom in one of the worst Royal security blunders

40 years ago this man broke into the Queen's bedroom in one of the worst Royal security blunders. Michael Fagan famously broke into Buckingham Palace and crept into the Queen's bedroom 40 years ago. On July 9, 1982, he scaled the palace's 14ft parameter wall for the second time in two months, shinned up a drain pipe and climbed through an unlocked window, wandering in on the snoozing Queen. Royal expert and Daily Mail Editor at Large Richard Kay covered the incident as a young reporter, and he shares his insight and memories from the event, including what Netflix's The Crown show got right...and what The Crown managed to get wrong!

I doubt the Queen became angry at anyone, but I wouldn't have liked to be one of those guards when Prince Philip found out.

[@Staniele]

Imagine, just not caring about anything and just breaking into the Queens bedroom and asking her for a cigarette casually..

[@blackpoisonblueberry5371]

He just want to drink expensive queen's wine..lol

[@Kevin-1969]

This was the one and only time she was confronted with reality

[@alexsmith7354]

What a legend 😂😂😂😂

[@Yetti0]

I remember this!!!!!! The Queen handled it well

[@carolevans5285]

😅🤣😂 had a drink as well, gotta love him ❤️

[@carolevans5285]

I didn't mean to go in the QUEENS room, just broke into Buckingham Palace ffs 😂😅🤣

[@cchewyy.]

💀

[@EPICFAILKING1]

You make it sound like the whole palace is her bedroom lol. There are other rooms.

[@glorysmummy]

@@EPICFAILKING1 Carol knows this. She was being sarcastic.

[@DV.Digital]

THEM NOT ANSWERING THE QUEEN CALL IS WILD 🤣

[@deenman23]

yup,insane how unprofesional and casual the security of the biggest monarchy on the planet was,lucky for her fagan was harmless,had it been anyone with bad intentions...

[@L0velyxBlue]

she’s gone now 💔

[@cyankirkpatrick5194]

I remember reading about this, and not long after a great book of fiction came out about a group of terrorists seized Buckingham Palace and took the Queen hostage.

[@Samuraikarlo_221]

I was quite young when this happened but I remember it very well. It was on every tv channel and the newspapers loved writing about it

[@AngelinaCruz357]

It could have turned out differently!

[@AngelinaCruz357]

This man that broke into the Queen's bedroom could have done something far more sadistic.

[@GodisMyNo1]

@sboudreaux27 Diana was not royal material. She could not have become anything

[@supermanmulholland8699]

What a mad geezer 👍🏽

[@zhitamukupa2358]

He's pretty smart😏, just needs to redirect his line of thought🌈.

[@EPICFAILKING1]

what does that even mean?

[@etchedinstone7562]

He's not a bad man, just unlucky in a lot of ways

[@glorysmummy]

@@etchedinstone7562 BS.

[@tada6672]

Queen cool cucumber!

[@virtualxella]

What an absolute legend

[@dawnkilbane4945]

All because the Queen love's Milk Tray🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@glorysmummy]

My best friend doesn't share a bedroom with her husband and they are both quite happy.

[@svfox]

why would nobody answer the phone. Oh its just the Queen we will get it later......

[@deenman23]

probably complacency,likely nothing like this ever happened before so they felt like...whats the point,but heck what if she was feeling ill or something?crazy unprofesionalism

[@DefiniteRicardo]

I wonder if he went to the queen funeral

[@hesus1474]

my man was on some Robin hood type sh**

[@bblove9945]

Harry said he hope she is safe. 😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@glorysmummy]

Didn't Harry's book explain where each bedroom was?

[@joannemurdock7899]

He did it twice!????????

[@largol33t1]

I've read multiple sources. It was because the staff got lazy and ignore both the MAID'S shout for help and the second time, they ignored that alarm that went off! Insane how they brushed off two incidents like that.

[@jodyporter6086]

Trying to make money off of the dead. Not very nice. You are invading her privacy now. Let her rest in peace.

[@alidadionisio2550]

Woooó

[@mani4158]

[@zeynep7146]

Kocası nerdeymiş kraliçenin ❓🤔

[@TwmUkLive]

He was trying to get the queen to influence the Falklands war

[@Boilingfrogg]

That's BS he never had a full conversation with her. Left wing propaganda from the crown series.

[@I.M-bn2dl]

[@xtremelovin]

I see Fagan and this song automatically starts playing in my head: music.th-cam.com/video/6glk4oMbgKE/w-d-xo.html&si=-PhSaMV_Rr1eZnf-
Then....one of those "Thug Life" video comes up too.
