A security blunder reportedly saw a stalker claiming to be a priest allowed inside Victoria Barracks, just metres away from Windsor Castle.
The Sun reports that the soldiers at the barracks were approached by a man claiming to be a priest and a friend of the padre to the Coldstream Guards at the base.
The man did not show any identification or any credentials but was allowed to spend the night eating and drinking in the Officer's Mess.
He reportedly spent the night drinking with senior officers and telling tales about having served in Iraq.
The man was then offered a bed for the night.
