A source also revealed to The Sun, “the probe is widening and is now looking at RaSP officers working at Buckingham Palace and other Royal locations. There are concerns that the slapdash practices at Windsor are widespread and happening at other Royal palaces.”

A Met Police spokesperson The Mirror later chimed in as well and according to them, “The Met's Directorate of Professional Standards has launched an urgent investigation following concerns raised regarding the conduct of a number of officers on protective duties at Windsor Castle.”

“The allegations include officers leaving posts unattended and sleeping while on duty. The alleged behaviour falls below the high standards expected of officers, particularly in frontline protective roles.”

Furthermore, “the Independent Office for Police Conduct has been informed and concluded that this matter will be investigated locally by the Met.”

“As part of the investigation, enquiries are being made as to the conduct of officers on protective duties at other royal residences. This is ongoing.”
