No-fly zone established over Sandringham Estate following drone sightings

A no-fly zone has been established over King Charles's Sandringham estate following reports of unidentified drones flying over the area during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit in early March. Security services requested the restrictions after the incident, which triggered a major security operation, with one drone traced to a nearby individual and others remaining unidentified. The order, signed by Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander, prohibits aircraft from flying below 2,000 feet over Sandringham for reasons of public safety and security. Exemptions are made for royal flights, visitors' aircraft, and emergency services. Previously, such restrictions were only seasonal, but the new regulations now apply year-round. The move highlights heightened concerns regarding the security of the Royal Family and visiting dignitaries.
