Prince George's school caught up in security scare

Prince George is about to begin his first day of school in mere hours but a resident living nearby has claimed she’s uncovered major security concerns.

According to The Telegraph, 54-year-old local Sarah Burnett-Moore, filmed herself as she walked through the gates of St Thomas’s Battersea School and into the corridors without anyone asking her who she was.

Sarah said she was shocked because the massive gates at the front of the school and the main door were left unlocked, making it easy for anyone to get inside.

“I could have walked in with an IED and set it to go off on Thursday,” Sarah told The Telegraph.

“I live just 200 metres from the school and myself and lots of neighbours are worried about the security implications as the prince’s presence will make the area a target for attacks.”

However according to the publication, a detailed security plan will be put into place once Prince George is actually attending the school.

It comes after it was reported that Kate Middleton – who announced this week that she is pregnant with her third child – is worried Prince George will be picked on at school.

According to a report in New Idea, the 35-year-old Duchess of Cambridge is on edge over the four-year-old Prince starting school at St Thomas’s Battersea this week.

“All eyes are going to be on him 24/7, and Kate’s worried that he’s going to find himself segregated from the other kids because he’s part of the royal family,” a palace source said.

“Also the fact that George is going to be one of the youngest in the class has been weighing on Kate’s mind.”

The Duchess is also said to be finding it difficult to believe that her first-born is already heading off to school with the source claiming she’s “pretty emotional” and “anxious” about the whole thing.

In an effort to keep Prince George’s life as normal as possible, it’s also been claimed Kate has said either her or Prince William will do the school run every day.
