Travellers with £130k Audi & Mercs set up camp next to royals at Windsor Castle as Rishi Sunak arrives for meeting
TRAVELLERS have set up camp a stone's throw away from the King's private quarters at Windsor Castle.
It comes as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the European Commission President are set to meet in Windsor later today.
Photos show the make-shift camp set up in a tourist car park near the royal home.
The group, thought to be from Germany and France, have been flaunting their wealth with flash cars worth over £300,000 parked up at the site.
The fleet of supercars parked among more than 30 caravans and motorhomes includes an Audi RS-6.
The supercar sells for upward of £130,000.

The group descended on the car park over the weekend, making use of the newly installed outdoor toilets.

Prince Andrew was forced to drive past the large group while visiting the Queen.
The group parked up to 30 caravans and motorhomes outside the famous castle where the Queen was residing.
The camp site was just yards from Frogmore Cottage - the former home of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the current home of Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.
Their large caravans were parked close to official signs which said that all vehicles are “prohibited” – even cycling is banned.
The trespassers were eventually moved on.
