In 1982 a man broke into the queen's bedroom

This was the Mighty Sparrow’s raunchy take of the incident.
It was a massive hit in the Caribbean. One radio host in Jamaica was suspended for playing it on air.

Buckingham Palace is no stranger to visitors. Thousands of people walk the halls of the royal residence every year for state events, receptions, and tours, not to mention the veritable army of staff that keeps the palace running and, of course, the royal family themselves. Uninvited visitors, though? That's another matter altogether. Breaking into the home of the British monarch, let alone Her Majesty's bedroom while she sleeps, should be no mean feat; which is why when a man managed to do just that with relatively little effort in 1982, it kicked off one of the biggest security scandals in British history
