An intruder who broke into the Queen’s bedroom in Buckingham Palace in 1982 has revealed he went to church and lit a candle for the monarch when he heard the news of her death. And Michael Fagan said he thinks that Charles will be a good King who could heal the rift between rich and poor in this country.
Michael Fagan, 74, climbed up a drainpipe and broke into the royal palace twice in the same year in the biggest royal security breach of the 20th century. He claims he first entered the palace in June 1982 after breaking in through an unlocked window and wandered around for around half an hour while eating cheddar cheese and crackers.
At around 7am on July 9 the same year he scaled the royal residence’s 14 foot high wall, topped with revolving spikes and barbed wire, and climbed up a drainpipe before entering The Queen’s bedroom where she was asleep 15 minutes later. He was tackled to the floor by the Queen's duty footman after she had fled her room and arrested and charged with stealing some wine but the charges were later dropped.
