News from Hello! Magazine shows that King Charles' security has been increased after a recent scare.
According to Hello! Magazine, the United Kingdom's Transport Secretary, Heidi Alexander, restricted aircrafts from flying lower than 2,000 feet over King Charles' Sandringham residence. The order came after drones were seen flying over the King's personal estate.
The drones were seen not too long after the King hosted Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, for a visit at his Sandringham home.
While citing The Sun's original report, Hello! Magazine explains that the drones were attached to a man sitting in a nearby car. The authorities investigating the incident believe there were more individuals involved.
Increased protections as the King prepares for a major visit
King Charles' security scare happened in March, but the decision to add extra protection for his personal home comes at the perfect time.
GB News recently reported that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, will be visiting the United Kingdom in September to "strengthen transatlantic ties" between the two countries.
President Trump will have a discussion with Sir Keir Starmer before heading to Windsor Castle for a high profile engagement with King Charles.
The actual date of the visit has not been finalized yet, but President Trump has already signaled that he's interested in seeing King Charles and having a viable conversation.
According to GB News, the visit is happening at Windsor Castle but could have occurred at either the Balmoral Castle or the Dumfries House. These locations were suggested because President Trump has "[treasured] memories of his 2018 visit with the late Queen Elizabeth II."
For what it's worth, sources told GB News that the President of the United States wanted to visit King Charles at Windsor Castle because it provides a "grander setting for official photographs."
Apparently, the President's visit will be a family affair, as Prince William is expected to help with the event's hosting duties.
GB News estimates that the family's involvement in the upcoming visit "underscores the diplomatic importance of the visit as the UK seeks to improve relations with the United States."
So, as you can see, it makes sense that the United Kingdom's government would want to make sure the King is protected in the coming weeks and months.
Surely, a lot will happen between now and September, as King Charles is one of the more prolific members of the Royal Family when it comes to public appearances.
We'll keep you all updated if any developments in the King's security arrangements arise.
