“No arrests have been made at this stage and an investigation is ongoing.”The Sun reported that after climbing over the six-foot fence to enter the grounds, the intruders used the truck, which had been stored in the barn, along with the bike, to crash through a farm gate on their way out.The gate is five minutes from Adelaide Cottage, where William and Catherine live with their children, Prince George, 11, Prince Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace, where William and Catherine have their offices, declined to comment on the incident, in keeping with their policy of not commenting on security issues.There is no suggestion that the prince or his family were in direct danger.
