A wave of drone activity above Sandringham House has raised alarm within security circles, prompting the imposition of a year long no fly zone over the royal estate in Norfolk. The move comes in the wake of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's recent and highly discreet visit to King Charles, a meeting described by security experts as of huge interest to Russian spies. The drones which were spotted in the days leading up to mister Zelenski's arrival in March of heightened concerns that Sandringham, long considered a private royal retreat, has now increasingly been used for high level diplomatic engagements and is therefore a potential target for foreign surveillance. According to The Sun, one drone was tracked to a man sitting in a car nearby who was not affiliated with the media.

6:54 It prompted a security scare. The operator was tracked down and spoken to, a source told the paper. Another drone was reportedly linked to a photographer, though several others remain unaccounted for. There were several drones over Sandringham and not all were accounted for. The source added days later, the total all year round drone band was imposed. Of particular concern is the proximity of Sandringham to three Air Force bases in East Anglia, which have themselves been the subject of unexplained drone sightings in recent months. Intelligence analysts have speculated that these incidents may be linked to Russian operatives, given the strategic interest in the region and the United Kingdom's support for Ukraine. Mister Zelenski's visit, which had not been publicly disclosed at the time, included an overnight stay with the King on the sixty acre estate, though officials of stress that there was no specific UK based threat at the time. The potential for drones to be used in espionage or even as delivery mechanisms for explosive devices is an ongoing concern, As has been demonstrated in Ukraine itself.

The new restrictions replace a previous three month drone ban, which had expired the day before President Zelenski's arrival. It would seem the timing likely technology was not entirely coincidental.
