Windsor Security Zone Around William and Kate’s Home Prompts Local Anger

The area now carries a Home Office security designation that makes trespass a criminal offense.

Overview

  • A roughly 10-kilometre fenced corridor with cameras and no-entry signs has been installed across parts of Windsor Great Park, according to reports citing the Daily Mail.
  • The zone was designated under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, giving police powers to arrest for unauthorised entry.
  • Residents report closed gates, a permanently shut connecting road, removed parking and long detours that disrupt daily routines.
  • Paid pass-holders who previously spent £60 for access to exclusive park areas say their passes no longer work at locked gates.
  • The Palace says complaints have been minimal, while Windsor MP Jack Rankin publicly defends the measures as proportionate for the family’s safety and privacy.
