Security scare as two intruders scale fence at Queen Elizabeth's Windsor estate
A couple was detained after they scaled the fences at the Queen’s Windsor estate, according to reports. A man, 31, and his 29-year-old girlfriend entered the Royal Lodge grounds, in Windsor Great Park, last Sunday, April 25, according to the Sun. The Queen’s son, Prince Andrew, officially lives at the lodge and was said to be there at the time of the breach. Queen Elizabeth II, 95, rides her horses, walks her dogs and attends the church on the grounds. The area was breached just over a week after her husband Prince Philip’s funeral. A source said: "This is an astonishing lapse. Everyone was on high alert after the first intruder, now this happens. Heads could roll." Police confirmed they responded to a report of two people on the lodge grounds. They arrested the man and woman and took them to Maidenhead police station. The couple have been released on bail. Police said in a statement: "Thames Valley Police was called to reports of two trespassers in the grounds of the Royal Lodge at Windsor Great Park on Sunday afternoon. "Two people, a 29-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man, both from London, were arrested on suspicion of being found in or upon enclosed premises and have been released under investigation while enquiries continue. "There was no risk to any individual on the site." The incident came just a few weeks after Royal Lodge security let a 44-year-old woman in after she claimed to be engaged to Prince Andrew. On April 19 after wandering in the grounds for 20 minutes she went into the building, where the Duke of York was at home. After she asked a member of staff where he was, she was eventually arrested and then sectioned under the Mental Health Act. She had insisted that she was engaged to Prince Andrew and lived there, telling police that her name was Irene Windsor, the Sun reported.The post Security scare as two intruders scale fence at Queen Elizabeth's Windsor estate appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.from https://ift.tt/3nFLE8x

Jennifer Lopez has sparked relationship rumours with her ex- Ben Affleck after her split from Alex Rodriguez. The exes have been reportedly spending time together in Los Angeles, a source told ET, adding that they "are friends and have a cordial, good relationship." "They obviously have a romantic history, but at this point, they only have a friendship," the source says. "They both admire each other professionally, respect one another and feel comfortable with each other." Additionally, a second source tells ET: "Jennifer and Ben have seen each other a few times since her breakup with Alex. Jen and Ben have remained friends over the years and the two are still just that - friends." Page Six reported the actor has been spotted multiple times visiting Lopez and getting dropped off at her mansion by a white Escalade SUV that allegedly belongs to her.
While the pair have not been spotted together, a source told Page Six, “Security picks him up at a nearby location and drops him off after spending a few hours at her house.” Affleck, 48, has allegedly visited Lopez, 51, three times since she returned to Los Angeles from shooting her new film, “Shotgun Wedding,” in the Dominican Republic. The publication also reported that Lopez was spotted out to dinner with Alex Rodriguez on April 23 at the Hotel Bel-Air days after they announced their split. Sources told the site that Affleck was spotted at the same hotel a day before J.Lo saw A-Rod, on April 22, being dropped off by a white SUV which later drove Lopez and a business associate to a business meeting.
Days later, on April 28, Affleck was allegedly seen coming out of Lopez’s Bel Air home, sources said.
He was spotted again the next day, April 29, dropping his car at the Hotel Bel-Air in the morning and being picked up by the same white Escalade to go to J.Lo’s home. About 3½ hours later, the same white SUV dropped him back at the hotel’s valet, sources said. Affleck was photographed exiting the white SUV in a T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, with a green backpack.
Affleck and Lopez got engaged in 2002 and later postponed their wedding in 2003. They split months later in January 2004. Just last month, the actor praised her in the April issue of InStyle magazine. "I don't know whether people know it or not, but the most impressive thing about her (and that is a long list) was her extraordinary work ethic," he shared. "She had this humility coupled with the basic assumption that not only did you have to work incredibly hard to succeed, you had to then push yourself even further." He also commented on his ex's ageless looks, asking, "Where are you keeping the fountain of youth? Why do you look the same as you did in 2003 and it kind of looks like I'm in my 40s…at best?" Lopez laughed off the compliment, replying, "Ben is funny! He still looks pretty good too." The actress shares 13-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband Anthony, while Affleck shares three children, Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. The post
Diego Maradona's medical team acted in an "inappropriate, deficient and reckless way", an investigation into his death has found. The Argentinian football legend, 60, died in November 2020 from heart attack weeks after he underwent brain surgery. His death sent shockwaves and also sparked a flurry of accusation on who was to blame after his long battle with addiction and ill health. Prosecutors in Argentina later launched an investigation, including searches of the World Cup's winner's property and that of his personal doctor and others involved in his care. Now, the probe into his last moments has concluded that he did not receive the best medical attention. In a report dated 30 April and shared with the Reuters news agency, investigators said: "The action of the health team in charge of treating DAM (Diego Armando Maradona) was inadequate, deficient and reckless." It added that Maradona had become seriously ill and had been dying for around 12 hours before he passed away on 25 November. "He presented unequivocal signs of a prolonged agonizing period, so we conclude that the patient was not properly monitored from 00:30 on 25/11/2020," the report said. Maradona, regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, was the inspiration for Argentina's World Cup success in Mexico in 1986, winning the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player. He also led the country to the final of the 1990 tournament in Italy although his international playing career ended in shame when he failed a drug test at the 1994 World Cup in the United States. He played club football for Boca Juniors, Napoli, and Barcelona among others, and was adored by millions of fans for his football talent. During his time with Italian side Napoli, he won the Serie A title in 1987 and 1990, along with an Italian Cup in 1987 and a Uefa Cup in 1991. Diego Maradona is survived by five children and his former wife, 58-year-old Claudia Villafane, whom he split with in 2004 after 20 years of marriage. The post
