In a disturbing security incident that has raised fresh concerns about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's privacy, Canadian authorities have arrested a man attempting to breach Meghan Markle's former Toronto residence.
The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Tristan Galvano, was apprehended by Toronto Police Service after neighbours reported suspicious activity at the multi-million dollar property where Meghan lived before her marriage to Prince Harry.
Security Alert at Royal Residence
According to official statements, the incident occurred on Tuesday evening when local residents noticed an individual attempting to gain unauthorized access to the secured property. Police responded immediately to the emergency calls, preventing what could have been a serious security breach.
"The individual was attempting to access the property without authorization," confirmed a police spokesperson. "We take all security threats seriously, especially given the high-profile nature of the residents."
Ongoing Privacy Concerns
This latest incident highlights the persistent security challenges facing Harry and Meghan since their step back from royal duties and move to North America. The couple have repeatedly expressed concerns about their family's safety and privacy in the public eye.
The Toronto property holds significant personal history for Meghan, having served as her home during her filming of the television series Suits. Despite no longer residing at the address, the connection to the Duchess continues to attract unwanted attention from overzealous fans and potential intruders.
Increased Security Measures
Local authorities have assured the public that additional security measures are being implemented around the property to prevent similar incidents in the future. The investigation continues as police work to determine the motive behind the attempted break-in.
This security scare comes amid ongoing discussions about who should bear the costs of protecting the Sussex family, with Canadian and British authorities previously negotiating security arrangements for the couple during their time in the country.
