In the past, brothers Prince William and Harry had spilled the beans on Apartment 1A’s secret tunnel. Apparently the brothers used the tunnel as a clandestine entrance to the palace when they lived there with their late mother, Princess Diana. Lest you think that the future heir and his family are the only protected royals, think again.

High-tech security ops are in place for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, as well. She reportedly has a panic room at both Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, which are, “encased in 18-inch thick, bullet-resistant, fire-retardant steel walls,” according to the Global Citizen. Despite the modern apparatus it did not deter an intruder who once confronted her in her room; she calmly talked him down before security arrived.
