Masked men scaled a 6ft fence to sneak onto the Windsor Castle estate
And rioters stormed Capitol Hill .........
Anyway, the lads at Windsor were only trying to steal farm vehicles, not bring down the government.
Btw there have been other intrusions at the Royal residences over the years despite the armed guards. Probably the most famous is the man who scaled the wall at Buckingham Palace and got into the Queen's bedroom. Queenie dealt with it as you'd expect. Simply left the room and called for help on the house phone. Went back to her bedroom, pressed the alarm bell and waited for the footman, who appeared with two policemen and escorted her visitor off the premises. No guns, no shooting, no murder of a harmless drunk.
Then there was the failed kidnap attempt on Princess Ann by a mentally ill man. A chip off the old block, she simply refused to go with the man who had already shot her driver and security guard. Her response was 'bloody likely'. He was finally caught by an unarmed police officer who chased him down through the park, threw a coat over his head tackled him and arrested him.
