40 years ago this man broke into the Queen's bedroom in one of the worst Royal security blunders. Michael Fagan famously broke into Buckingham Palace and crept into the Queen's bedroom 40 years ago. On July 9, 1982, he scaled the palace's 14ft parameter wall for the second time in two months, shinned up a drain pipe and climbed through an unlocked window, wandering in on the snoozing Queen. Royal expert and Daily Mail Editor at Large Richard Kay covered the incident as a young reporter, and he shares his insight and memories from the event, including what Netflix's The Crown show got right...and what The Crown managed to get wrong!
