The court heard Sheehan had been admitted to Langley Green hospital, West Sussex, in September and released after assessment on October 6.

He entered the palace the next day. No royals were there, it is thought.

He remains in custody on trespass charges and is next due in court on Thursday, pending mental health assessments.
