the Prince and Princess of Wales still have a residence, issued a complaint about a string of comments, according to The Sun.

The Metropolitan Police launched an investigation into reports of “misogynistic” behaviour by its Royalty and Specialist Protection officers, though findings are not believed to be serious enough to reach the “misconduct” threshold.

The comments are said to have included remarks made by staff in the offices in the West London palace.

Another cop allegedly tried to befriend the female member of staff on Facebook, which she found “inappropriate”.

The officers were cleared for duty after the investigation; however, action from the Royal Household meant they were relocated to other armed duties, the paper reported. The royal couple is said to have been informed of the incident.

A Met spokesperson told the paper: “The reported behaviour falls below the high standards expected of officers, particularly those in frontline protective roles.

“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.

“It remains a priority for the Met to ensure all officers and staff uphold the highest standards of professionalism, so we can continue to build trust and confidence with those we serve.”

Royals at Kensington Palace

Though Prince William and Kate now live full-time in Forest Lodge in Windsor, they still have Apartment 1A in the palace as their London base for when they are in the city. It remains their official headquarters.

Apartment 1A has a receiving name and, in fact, has around 20 rooms, including five reception rooms, three main bedrooms, and separate staff quarters. It was formerly the home of Princess Margaret, Queen Elizabeth II’s sister.

Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, also have a home called Ivy Cottage in the palace when they’re not at their Portugal residence. Princess Diana previously stayed at the property, including after her divorce from the then-Prince Charles.
