(NewsNation) — Five police officers were banned from working at royal residences after complaints were lodged over alleged misogynistic comments at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s home.
London Metropolitan Police launched an investigation into the alleged behavior of its Royalty and Specialist Protection officers, according to The Sun.
A female staff member at Kensington Palace alleged the officers made “inappropriate” comments between August 2023 and September 2024, including that Kate and William’s home was “full of little Hitlers.”
The staffer also alleged one officer tried to add her as a friend on Facebook.
“Comments from the officers were perceived as misogynistic though the allegations were tame and none were sexual in nature,” a source told The Sun.
The officers were allowed to return to their duties, following the department’s investigation into the matter.
“The reported behavior falls below the high standards expected of officers, particularly those in frontline protective roles,” a Metropolitan Police spokesperson told The Sun.
“As a result of our internal investigation into this matter, the officers received reflective practice to consider their actions and identify learning for the future,” they added.
The Royal Household decided it didn’t want the officers to return to Kensington Palace and banned them from other royal residencies.
“A decision was taken that the officers were not wanted back again,” according to the outlet’s source.
