The Daily Mail<\/a> <\/em>reports that the royals have set up a ‘ring of steel’ security zone, which consists of a “six mile cordon” around Forest Lodge “bristling with CCTV cameras and ‘no entry’ signs.”<\/p>\nNeighbors have complained about being “ambushed” by the situation, and feel “absolutely gutted” by security preventing them from walking around Windsor Great Park.<\/p>\n
