The stories below are from the Washington Post by Pam Tobey:

 

On December 14, 1838, a teenage boy managed to crawl into Buckingham Palace after it was rebuilt to become the royal palace of Queen Victoria. He was arrested when sighted by a palace night porter and chased out onto the garden. He was arrested with objects he had stolen, including some of the Queen’s underclothing stuffed in his trousers.

The Queen:

He was Edward Jones — royalty’s first stalker.

Jones was found not guilty of trespass and discharged. In December 1840, not long after Queen Victoria gave birth to her first child, he sneaked back into the palace. A nurse discovered him lying under the sofa in the royal dressing room on which the Queen had been sitting a few hours before. He was found guilty this time and sentenced to three months in jail. Yet, he couldn’t stay out. He was found on March 15, 1841, in the palace’s Picture Gallery eating food he had brought from the royal kitchens. The government decided to get rid of him by any means necessary, including abduction, after he was arrested near the palace again, according to Jan Bondeson, who published a book about Jones. He was forced into duty on a ship of the Royal Navy. Finally, he wound up in Australia, where he died in 1893.

 

No one appears to have been able to breach the Queen’s special rooms until July 9, 1982, when Micheal Fagan, a jobless laborer, climbed up a drainpipe to Queen Elizabeth II’s special rooms. 

The Queen woke to discover Fagan in her bedroom and spent 10 minutes calmly speaking to him. She got a chance to call awareness to her uninvited guest after he requested for a cigarette and she could call for a footman. The armed police officer set outside of the royal bedroom had gone off-duty before his substitute arrived, leaving her door unguarded. Fagan was not accused of trespassing, as the Queen would have had to file suit in civil court. It became an illegal offense to trespass on safe sites in 2007 for 16 royal, governmental and parliamentary places.
