A woman was arrested on Friday after banging on the Duke of York’s car window and shouting at him as he drove through Windsor.
Prince Andrew, 61, was taking his regular short route from his Royal Lodge home on the Windsor estate to Windsor Castle, where he goes riding.
As he paused at a crossroads, the woman started thumping on the window of his Range Rover and repeatedly yelling his name. An onlooker said she appeared to have a European accent.
It is thought the Duke’s Royal Protection Officer, who was in the passenger seat, radioed colleagues and the police were called.
Thames Valley Police said they attended the scene at around 10am. “A 50-year-old woman, of no fixed abode, has been arrested on suspicion of using threatening/abusive/insulting words/behaviour to cause harassment/alarm/distress,” they said in a statement. “She remains in custody.”
The incident comes as the Duke fights claims that he raped or sexually assaulted a 17-year-old on three separate occasions in 2001.
Earlier this year, he was targeted by multiple intruders who tried to gain access to the Grade II-listed Windsor home he shares with his former wife, the Duchess of York.
In April, a 43-year-old Spaniard who claimed to be “Irene Windsor” was waved into the property after telling officers on the gate that she had a lunch date with the Duke.
The woman spent 20 minutes wandering around the grounds before entering the building and was only apprehended when she asked a member of staff where to find the Duke, who was working from home.
She was arrested on suspicion of burglary and later sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
Just days later, a 31-year-old man and 29-year-old woman were arrested after being found trespassing on the grounds.
The two incidents sparked calls for a security review. Thames Valley Police is responsible for the security around Windsor estate, while Scotland Yard bodyguards protect members of the Royal Family within the grounds.
However, Royal Lodge is understood to also have an element of private security paid for by the Privy Purse.
When’s he going to get arrested for all those children he raped?
Took a while for me to figure out which side of the window she was on
Wasn’t her. She was in pizza express the whole time and following her career as a nurse she hasn’t had the ability to knock.
When we say a crime has happened we just get a crime number.
Can’t imagine it’d have been an issue is she were 12.
>An onlooker said she appeared to have a European accent.
Good ol Torygraph. Was she a dirty forrener?
You can see Andrew isn’t bothered because he isn’t sweating 👀
Maybe she should have tried humping a child on Andrew’s car window.
Can’t get arrested for that.
Good to know there’s still police in this country. Shame that it only polices ordinary people, but still…

She should claim it was a party.
Oh wait, you need to buy off the police with a Damehood first.
So she gets arrested, meanwhile the nonce is free to *..checks notes..* continue to be a nonce
Oh yeah, top police work as per bloody usual
What a brave woman coming up against a dangerous predator
Genuine question – is there a law for aggressive behaviour towards the royal family, or something? I can’t imagine anyone being *arrested* if they banged on the window of *my* car.
So a woman who bangs on a car is arrested, but a prince who bangs underage girls gets away scot free…
Amazing how the Police can’t investigate the Tory party despite ample evidence, or investigate the Royal sexual abuser for his possible links to sex trafficking…
However they can protect the royal sexual abuser from the public knocking on their windows.
“A 43-year-old Spaniard who claimed to be “Irene Windsor” was waved into the property after telling officers on the gate that she had a lunch date with the Duke.”
Lunch date with the Duke? And the guards didn’t check before letting her in?
Surely they must’ve been suspicious. She’s far too old for him.
When the MET said they do not investigate crimes without already having evidence Andy said “No Sweat”
Sorry love, you’re not his type. You’re not a young teenager.
Yes, of course arrest her. It’s far more offensive to show anger at the continued dodging justice of an alleged paedo than it is for that alleged paedo to be driving around, living it large.
Trespass is a civil offence, why are the police involved at all?
If you got money your ok if not your fucked. Privileged pedo
I know this place well. It’s kinda weird how low key the security actually is. I saw Prince Phillip off on his own among the public on his horse and cart well into his 90s. Seen the Queen driving in the exact same place with no obvious security back up. Sometimes not even in the car with her. There’s armed police minding a gate to a farm gate about 30 seconds drive away which is where I suspect the police came from after the security guy sounded the alarm.
If he hadn’t thumped on underage girls then this wouldn’t have happened.
All she wanted to know is if he knew where her teenage daughter was!
Don’t you just hate when the commoners think they can look in the direction of nobles? Ugh, the riff raff are so obtuse. Boy! Fetch me another wench to shine my knob whilst we traverse the land.
If only she had raped him… then she would have gotton away with it.
“Prince Andrew, 61, was taking his regular short route from his Royal Lodge home on the Windsor estate to Windsor Castle, where he goes riding”
What exactly does he ride?
A window which is almost certainly some fancy-ass type of security glass, with a protection officer in the vehicle who will have had a firearm in addition to a police radio and probably with other protection officers in the immediate area.
So this is measurably, massively less intimidating than someone knocking on a regular window of a typical person’s car.
So you can bang underage girls but knocking on a car window is arrest worthy? Nice to know that as long as you’re wealthy / powerful you can get away with anything.
Somebody ‘banged’ on my car window so hard that it smashed and all my possessions in there also mysteriously went missing but the police aren’t interested in even looking into that one.
Good to see the police have their priorities in check.

Banging windows: jail
Banging children: acceptable!
Woman bangs window, gets arrested.
Prince bangs minors, not arrested.
