The matter is not being treated as terror-related.
Security measures at Buckingham Palace, the British royal family's official residence, are stringent, with the building in the heart of the capital constantly monitored by armed officers.
The palace has faced several break-in attempts in the past.
In September last year, a 25-year-old man was arrested after trying to enter the royal stables.
Ahead of King Charles III's coronation last May, a man was arrested for throwing shotgun cartridges into the palace grounds.
The same month, a 43-year-old man was arrested for ramming his car into the gates that guard Downing Street, the residence of Britain's prime minister.
