'Ring of steel' to protect royal wedding

China Daily | Updated: 2018-03-31 07:20

LONDON - A $42 million "ring of steel" will surround the May 19 wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, including barriers, vehicle checks, snipers and airport-style scanners, at Windsor Castle in May, British media reported on Thursday.

More than 100,000 people were expected to visit Windsor, Berkshire, for the big day on May 19, and they should expect to be stopped and searched by police.

The "ring of steel" will be erected to deter terrorist vehicle attacks, said Thames Valley Police, adding that the operation is likely to be the largest in its history as they gradually build up the security in the city over the next seven weeks.
