Description

Former Scotland Yard chief Dai Davies discusses the six-mile security perimeter around Prince Williams home, Forest Lodge, in Windsor Great Park. The exclusion zone, covering 150 acres, is a necessary measure under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act of 2005 to protect the royal family from serious threats. Despite local inconvenience, Davies emphasizes the importance of prioritizing royal safety, especially with Williams new role as patron of the Special Air Service Regimental Association. Recent developments, including ongoing threats from dissidents and porous borders, highlight the need for robust security measures. Good security, Davies explains, is like an onion, with outer layers buying time for inner defenses to activate and save lives.
