A man has been charged with trespassing after he was arrested in the Royal Mews area, near Buckingham Palace.

During the early hours of Saturday morning, officers at the Palace responded to a person climbing the wall and entering the Royal Mews.

After being arrested at 1.25hrs on 16 September, Awad Rovalino, 25, was charged with trespassing on a protected site and an attempted theft from a motor vehicle during the same incident.

Scotland Yard previously confirmed that the stables, which hold a number of historic royal carriages, were not entered by the intruder.

They added that “at no point” did the intruder enter Buckingham Palace or the Palace Gardens.

Rovalino, of no fixed abode, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 18 September.
