A CONVICTED torturer was allowed to get within feet of Prince George in a massive security breach uncovered by The Sun.The royal family launched an investigation after we told them driver Darren Benjamin, 40, was allowed into Kensington Palace.
Worried Prince William has demanded to know how a convicted torturer got within feet of his three young children.
Wills and Kate are said to be “concerned” he got so close.
Benjamin, who was caged for a brutal attack, later boasted to pals about seeing George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in the courtyard.
' POTENTIALLY DEADLY OVERSIGHT'He even told them how “pleasant” the future king was.
The violent criminal was jailed for seven years in 2008 for his part in a torture plot where an innocent man had boiling water poured down his back.
But he was allowed to deliver furniture to Kensington Palace on July 14 in his role as a driver for an independent company.
He said he was greeted by George, seven, Charlotte, four, and Louis, one, who were in the courtyard with their nanny Maria Teresa Borrallo.
CLOSENESS TO CHILDREN 'CHILLING'A source said: “This is the type of potentially deadly security oversight that simply cannot be allowed to happen.
“Darren is a violent criminal who was jailed for the most brutal type of torture.
“It’s chilling as he has been boasting to friends about just how close he came to our future king and the other Cambridge children.
“His friends were shocked that he was able to get into the Palace and within touching distance of royalty given his past.”
On Sunday night a senior royal insider said the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are “concerned” he got near their children with no extra protection provided.
They said: “The Duke has been informed and is obviously taking a close interest into what happened.
“He strongly believes criminals deserve a second chance once they have served their time, but is concerned current security policies might not be strong enough.
“It’s very important we know who is coming into the Palace.”
Staff are said to be shocked by the lack of detailed background checks by the royals’ large security operation.
