Buckingham Palace announces 'immediate' security step amid threat to royals

King Charles and the royal family have been alerted to a serious threat and the urgent protective measures that must be implemented.

According to the Mirror, Buckingham Palace is set to revamp its cybersecurity systems amid rising tensions between the UK and Russia.

Now, a portion of the annual Sovereign Grant will be spent on upgrading the cybersecurity system at the Palace.

Treasury minister Dan Tomlinson shared, "The new level of the grant will ensure that the Royal Household can continue to deal with property maintenance backlogs following some years of constrained funding during the pandemic.

"It will also allow the Royal Household to replace ageing systems to strengthen cybersecurity and to install energy-efficient heating systems."

It is important to note that the royal family website was attacked by hackers in October 2023 and went offline for around an hour.
