A daring trespasser has been jailed for 32 weeks after breaking into the grounds of Kensington Palace not once, but twice just days before Christmas.
Derek Egan’s Brazen Break-Ins
Derek Egan, 39, stormed the palace grounds on consecutive days in December, flouting the law and security measures. He first scaled a fence at around 4am on December 22 but was quickly arrested and bailed with a strict ban from returning.

Ignoring the ban, Egan returned the very next day, leading to more trouble with the law. At Westminster Magistrates’ Court, he pleaded guilty to two counts of trespass on a protected site.
“Because I am a criminal,” Egan Admits
When asked why he risked it all, Egan shrugged, “Because I am a criminal.”
Kensington Palace security isn’t taking any chances, and Egan’s jail time sends a sharp message: royal grounds are off limits – no exceptions.Related coverage
