Kensington Palace is reportedly taking significant steps to enhance security for Kate Middleton following disturbing new revelations.
The heightened concern comes after reports that Thomas Matthew Crooks, a man involved in a Trump-related shooting plot, had conducted pre-attack surveillance on the Princess of Wales.
Recent investigations have revealed that Crooks, who has been identified as a potential threat, downloaded images of the 42-year-old royal onto his mobile phone.
These discoveries were made by cyber specialists who analyzed Crooks’ devices. The motivation behind Crooks’ interest in Kate Middleton remains unclear, particularly since she is the only non-American figure found in his internet search history.
While there is no current evidence suggesting that Crooks intended to travel to the UK or had a specific plan targeting Kate Middleton, the situation has nonetheless raised alarms.
US broadcaster NPR reported that Kate’s name was mentioned during a briefing to politicians about the attack, although the identity of the royal was initially kept confidential.

In addition to researching Kate Middleton, Crooks had also looked up prominent American figures such as FBI Director Christopher Wray and US Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Despite these unsettling findings, an insider has reassured that there is no immediate panic at the palace regarding the alleged threat.
The palace is, however, reportedly taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety of the Princess of Wales during this time.
As Kate Middleton continues her chemotherapy treatment following her recent cancer diagnosis, the palace’s decision to bolster her security underscores the importance of her safety amidst these troubling developments.
