Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was linked to a security scare recently after members her royal protection squad swarmed and then surrounded a car that stopped outside of her mother’s house where Kate is staying.
UK father Adam De Marco told the Telegraph that armed officers surrounded his car after he tried to change a flat tire near her mother’s home. De Marco and his family were heading to Bucklebury Farm Park in Berkshire, which is near where Middleton’s parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, reside.
Kate has been staying at her parents’ home in recent weeks as she recovers from severe morning sickness due to her pregnancy.
De Marco said that his BMW was stopped and officers drew their guns before they realized he and his family were not a threat and then helped him repair his tire.
“We got the flat tyre as we drove Mia to the farm park, where children can play on the swings and look at the pigs and other animals,” he said.
“I went to put on the spare, but then realized I was missing the special screw-nut you need with a BMW to remove the wheel - it’s meant to stop thieves. I was in a quandary, wondering what to do...then all of a sudden we found ourselves surrounded by policemen who were carrying guns.”
