Gatecrasher not to be charged

LONDON: Police on Tuesday dropped charges against the self-styled ``comedy terrorist'' who gatecrashed into Prince William's 21st birthday party at Windsor Castle, west of London. In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said it told Aaron Barschak (37), that ``there will be no further action taken against him,'' following advice from prosecutors. ``The man has been released from his bail conditions,'' it said. Mr. Barschak — squeezed into a salmon-pink evening dress with a stick-on beard — had clambered over a wall and onto the castle grounds, then bluffed his way into Prince William's ``Out of Africa'' theme costume party. Royal aides soon identified the man as a gatecrasher, however, and turned over to police, triggering an investigation into the serious breach of royal security. Queen Elizabeth II was among the party guests.
