A man has been charged with trespass after he allegedly scaled a perimeter wall at Buckingham Palace.
Dennis Hennessy, 41, of Wembley, northwest London, was charged on Thursday with trespass on a protected site and criminal damage.
He will appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court today.
At the time of the alleged breach, Commander Adrian Usher, head of the Met's Royalty and Specialist Protection, said: "I am content that our security measures worked effectively on this occasion and at no time was any individual at risk."
A spokesman for Buckingham Palace said: "We never comment on security, which is a matter for police."
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were at home in the palace on Wednesday night, following the State Opening of Parliament in the capital.
They have both been told about the incident.
