In July of 1982, an intruder by the name of Michael Fagan was reported to have entered Buckingham Palace twice, in some of the surprising physical security breaches of our lifetime. The first time he entered, a housemaid reportedly saw him and called security. By the time the guards arrived, the intruder had disappeared, so the guards disbelieved her report. Meanwhile, the intruder was busy wondering around the palace and eating cheese and crackers, including drinking half bottle of white wine. Amazingly, three alarms were said to have tripped, but the police turned them off, believing they were faulty. The intruder reportedly viewed royal portraits and even sat on a throne for a while. He only left the palace when he became tired. Few days later when he breached the security and entered again, he was able to enter the Queen’s bedroom, at about 7:15 am, startling the monarch. In his own words, the Queen phoned the palace switchboard twice for police, but none arrived. Fagan’s intrusion to such a revered room was possible because the armed police officer who guarded the royal bedroom had gone off duty before his replacement arrived. 

 

Some real incidents only look plausible in movies, as no one would other wise believe them.
