Media reports state that a leak of financial documents dubbed the Paradise Papers, containing 13.4 million documents has revealed how powerful and ultra-wealthy people, including the British Queen's private estate, managed by The Duchy of Lancaster, invest vast amounts of cash in offshore tax havens.

A man has been arrested after climbing over Buckingham Palace’s front gates in the middle of the night.

The 22-year-old was held on suspicion of trespass at around 02:00 BST on Wednesday by specialist royal officers, the Metropolitan Police Service said.

The Queen was in residence at the time, a palace spokeswoman confirmed.

The intruder was not carrying a weapon and the incident is not being treated as terror-related, the force said.
