Berkshire, England (BANG) - The couple who had sex in Britain's Queen Elizabeth's front garden fear their drunken illegal romp could cost them their jobs.

Joy Taylor and Phil Carden - who stunned tourists when they stripped off and had sex in broad daylight on a private grass bank at Windsor Castle, where the 83-year-old monarch was in residence - are worried their employers will give them the sack for bringing their companies into disrepute.

Even if the Queen saw what was going on she wouldn't be surprised.

She's used to seeing her subjects getting screwed.

Personally though, they deserve all the humiliation and ridicule they get.

How the beep can these people keep infiltrating Royal residences? You Brits really need to invest in a US Secret Service style system for the protection of the Royal Family and senior government officials instead of a bunch of overdressed toy soldiers and policemen in silly helmets.

One day the persons infiltrating a Royal residence won't be there to have sex in the garden or walk into the Queen's bedroom to have a friendly chat, get the hint yet? Your "security" measures are the laughing stock of the world.

Who cares?

When thousands of people are losing their jobs, is this really news, apart from in a few sleazy tabloids.

To be honest I'd rather we didn't spend any more of our taxes on the Royals, they get enough as it is! The soldiers in funny helmets are for the tourists only. The police in funny helmets are only normal cops on foot patrol.

I think you will find the Royals have masses of protection from undercover police as it is, (not dressed in uniform), especially when they are on the move. Personal bodyguards etc.

Why they weren't around in the grounds of the palace I have no idea, nor am I really concerned. In the current financial circumstances money should be going to help the average Brit made redundant or struggling to make ends meet. If the Royals think they require more protection, let them do that out of their own pocket thanks.

I would be more worried about us being a laughing stock for our economy, rather than a couple of idiots who get in palace grounds.

Our President costs four times as much as your monarchy, keep it ... it's far better then the alternative - take it from an American that a republic is not all it's made out to be by the anti monarchy crowd in the UK and Commonwealth nations.

Do we have to? I appreciate someone trying to start interesting new discussions on this board, but yet another royal non-story? Honestly, whatever their views on the monarchy, most people are just not interested in this sad tittle-tattle.
