The Queen’s Guards have reportedly been jailed for attending a ‘mini-rave’.
16 of the Queen’s Guards at Windsor Castle reportedly attended the party during lockdown.
The Queen, 94, and Prince Philip, 99, were shielding from coronavirus at Windsor Castle at the time.
The soldiers are apparently from the Welsh Guards, and the party took place at a riverside park.

“Following a breach in social distancing by several Welsh Guardsmen an investigation was conducted and the incident has been dealt with internally.”
As of August, The Queen and Prince Philip have relocated to their summer residence Balmoral, Scotland.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, a royal member of staff became the subject of a thievery.
A 37-year-old male royal servant became a suspect after a missing medal ended up on eBay.
The medal became listed on the bidding site for £350.
The man in question reportedly boasted of his royal adventures on social media.
A hospitality assistant, he had worked for the royal household for six years.
