LONDON (Reuters) – British police arrested a man armed with a knife on Monday as he tried to gain entry to Buckingham Palace, the London residence of Queen Elizabeth.
The police arrested the 44-year-old man on suspicion of trespassing on a protected site and possessing an offensive weapon, a spokesman said. The man remains in custody at a London police station.
The incident came a month after police arrested two men over a break-in at the palace, in one of the most serious security breaches at the queen’s London residence in around 30 years.

Hello ATS
Im here today to share something
It may be not interest you, but after all, it doesnt matter…
ITs about my life,my lonely life, i a life devoid of light.
What can i say?
I grew up alone, in an orphanage,terrorized about my crippling loneliness, watching a doomed future.
do you see what i mean?
The feeling you get when you know something is about to happen, something you cannot escape.
I knew from the start.
Growing in an orphanage is kinda strange,most kids hate each others,its beyond bullying.
When i left the orphanage,i found myself in the open,nothing to keep my freedom away,finaly,LIFE.
Life, and all the things that come with it, but i was ready to face it, ready to fight ,ready to live, but i was scared too, and lonelier than before.
I managed to get a job,and managed to study at the same time, but i grew being even more alone.
I tried to be nice with people, tried to get friends around me,tried to look interesting.
I failed, and by failing, i mean,miserably failing,in the most pathetic ways.
I hated the sky and heavens.
So, i decided to work,work as much as possible, to get rich, to buy things,stuff,to make people like me, you know,like, buying friends.
It worked, they robbed me, i was dumb, i was hurt, my ego was shattered into pieces, my already microscopic pride was dead, by my own stupidity.
Then the unexpected happened.
I met her, she was like a billion of stars, she talked to me, managed to tame my pain,made me smile and feel like a real human being.
She loved me, and i loved her.
And she died.
She died, and the world around, became a terrible prison, i became my own prison.
I kept all her things,her scarf,and her long black coat,her pictures.
Now, today, i still can smell her delicate perfume,i remember her voice, her soft skin, and powerful smile,her long hair.
Still,today,i cant push myself to meet anyone, i cant,maybe because i dont want to, its my stupidity, i joined her in her grave, somehow.
Today, i still keep working,i still live, i still breath, i still wake up every morning with my coffee and cigs,i still go to work.
And every night, i turn off my mind, trying to kill the pain,nones want to be near me, i wish one day someone tell me its ok to stop hurting, i wish someone one turn me off for good,like you turn off a machine.
never had the courage to kill myself, maybe because i have hope, or maybe because im just scared.
today, while im writting those words, hoping the pain to stop, hoping ill see her again one day, if the after life exist.
Today i just want to bury myself into tons of concrete and stop thinking.

Palace: Prince William"s wife, Kate, in labor
LONDON (AP) — Prince William’s wife, Kate, is in the early stages of labor in a private wing of a central London hospital, palace officials said Monday.
It is a historic moment for the British monarchy — the couple’s first child will become third in line for the British throne, after Prince Charles and William, and should eventually become king or queen.
William and Kate entered St. Mary’s Hospital in central London through a side door early Monday morning, avoiding the world’s media. Palace officials confirmed her arrival about 90 minutes later.
Royal officials said they traveled by car, without a police escort, just before 6 a.m. Kate — also known as the Duchess of Cambridge — is expected to give birth in the private Lindo Wing of the hospital, where Princess Diana also gave birth to William and his younger brother, Prince Harry.
“Things are progressing as normal,” the couple’s spokesman said.
She will be looked after by a top-notch medical team led by royal gynecologist Dr. Marcus Setchell. Palace officials are not expected to provide many details about how her labor is progressing.
The baby is in line to become Britain’s monarch and be recognized as head of state in 15 other countries, including Canada and Australia, playing a leading role in charting the future of the Commonwealth.
But little else is known, including how the baby will arrive — it is not clear if Kate will have a natural birth or deliver by a planned cesarean section — its gender and its name.
Royal watchers must wait to be told of the baby’s arrival from the palace, which is planning to reveal the news through a mixture of tradition and social media.
Palace officials have said that the first hint will come when a royal aide emerges from the hospital with a signed bulletin carrying the Buckingham Palace letterhead. The bulletin will be given to an official who will be driven to Buckingham Palace, where it will be posted on an easel in public view in front of the building.
At the same time the bulletin is posted, there will be an official announcement on Twitter and the media will be formally notified. The document will give the baby’s gender, weight and time of birth.
It could be some time before the baby’s name is made public. When William was born, a week passed before his name was announced. Charles’s name remained a mystery for an entire month.
But it is the baby’s gender that is of particular interest because the prospect of Kate’s pregnancy prompted a change to laws of succession to ensure a daughter would not be passed over for the crown by a younger brother. Boy or girl, the child will be the prospective future monarch.
The birth of a new heir to the throne has been breathlessly anticipated since William and Kate wed on April 29, 2011, in a lavish ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
Despite a rough start to the pregnancy, when she was hospitalized for acute morning sickness, the 31-year-old Kate made a number of public appearances that were halted only near the end of her term.
Since the duchess has cut back on her royal duties, media outlets have been clamoring for position outside of the hospital in anticipation of the birth, jockeying to secure the best vantage point for filming William and Kate emerging, babe in arms.
Officials have said that William plans to take two weeks’ paternity leave and then return to his military duties as a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot in Wales.
His tour of duty is scheduled to wrap up around September, and he and Kate are expected to move from their isolated cottage on the island of Anglesey off the coast of Wales to Kensington Palace in central London.
But major refurbishment works at the palace likely won’t be finished until at least a month or two after the infant is born — meaning that William and Kate will most likely have to make do with their current temporary home in London, a two-bedroom property at the palace.
Come autumn, however, the family will be able to move into their permanent London home, Apartment 1a at Kensington Palace — a four-story house with a nursery, 20 rooms and a private garden.
