They've also checked the lock on the great oak doors leading to the Commons chamber.

The Commons chamber is barred to him. No monarch or representative of the Crown has been permitted in the Commons since 1642 when Charles marched into the British House and demanded the surrender of five MIPs who opposed his will. Parliament later had him hanged.
