Security officers were so taken in by the Spanish national s polished appearance they even paid her cab fare before waving her into the grounds of Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park at 11am on Monday.
The woman, who has now been sectioned under the 1984 Mental Health Act, spent 20 minutes wandering the grounds before heading inside the Grade II listed building to ask a member of staff where the duke was, reported The Sun.

Although Princess Eugenie s baby son is 11th in line to the throne, he will not have a title nor an official royal role, meaning he won t carry out any royal duties.
Friends say the Queen s granddaughter has decided to focus on motherhood and her career rather than picking up any royal duties in the future, and wants the same for her child.
Her son with husband Jack Brooksbank was born on Tuesday and is 11th in line to the throne behind Prince Charles, Prince William and his children George, Charlotte and Louis, Prince Harry and his son Archie, Prince Andrew, Princess Beatrice and Eugenie. The Queen s youngest son Prince Edward has been nudged down to 12th.
