Prince George school intruder is royal ‘superfan’
LONDON: A British woman who sparked a security alert after breaking into four-year-old Prince George’s new school in London is a “superfan” obsessed with the royal family, The Sun reported on Friday.
The 40-year-old woman, named by the newspaper as Louise Chantry, an unemployed holistic healer, was arrested on Wednesday after twice entering the exclusive Thomas’s School in Battersea.
“She wouldn’t have done any harm to George. He would have been safe with her. She just loves the royal family and loves kids,” her mother Rhona Crawford, 75, was quoted by the paper as saying.
Crawford said Prince William, his wife Kate and their children George and Charlotte “represent the ideal family life she would like to have.”
The mother said her daughter’s obsession with the younger royals was similar to the public adoration for the late Princess Diana who died in 1997.
“It’a fairytale. It’s a fantasy,” she said.
Chantry recently split from her husband after six years of marriage and has no children of her own.
She was arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary and has now been released on bail.
She allegedly turned up twice at George’s school in 24 hours this week before being arrested.
George is third in line to the throne after his grandfather Prince Charles and father William.
His formal title is Prince George of Cambridge but he is known as George Cambridge to his classmates at the £17,600-a-year ($23,000) school in south London where he started last week.
