The bunker is sophisticated and, “A bomb pressure indicator was even fixed to the castle’s lawn, which would allow scientists to monitor the blast wave and see how far the devastation had spread.”

Furthermore, the outlet reports that “a declassified document sheds light on the specifics of the situation … known as Operation Candid.” If need be the “Queen and her family would move to country houses away from London … Balmoral Castle and Sandringham House, would not be used.”
