The Duke of York has said he is "grateful" for an apology from police after officers challenged him in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.

Scotland Yard confirmed a man was stopped on Wednesday evening and ordered to verify his identity.

In a statement, the prince said the police had a difficult job and sometimes they "get it wrong".

The incident happened two days after a man was arrested on suspicion of burglary inside the palace.

Prince Andrew said: "The police have a difficult job to do balancing security for the Royal Family and deterring intruders, and sometimes they get it wrong.

"I am grateful for their apology and look forward to a safe walk in the garden in the future."
