Prince Charles is the latest victim of laptop theft, and is now at risk for ID theft and bank fraud.

A laptop computer belonging to Prince Charles’ Moorepay accountant was stolen from a vehicle earlier this month. The laptop contained Prince Charles’ personal bank details (account number and sort code) and his national insurance number.

Royal sources say that Prince Charles was “reeling” from the security breach and was quite concerned that his personal details could be in the wrong hands.

The laptop was password protected, but there has been no word of any additional security on the laptop. A Moorepay spokesperson said that the theft could “pose a security threat if a technical expert was able to breach the password protection.”
