Two men have received jail sentences for their roles in the 2019 theft of an 18-karat gold toilet from the mansion. The €5.5 million artwork, which satirized consumerism, was once offered on loan to Donald Trump.

    Michael Jones, 39, received a 27-month sentence, with the judge saying he could not be sure he was part of the gang that carried out the burglary, though he was found guilty of having carried out reconnaissance at the stately home preceding the crime.

    That reconnaissance included trying out the facility a day before the theft, an experience he described to the court as “splendid.”

    Gold is a pretty soft metal, not sure loaning it to “224 lbs” Trump is a great plan.

    My first thought was that the folks in Blenheim Palace stole Donald Trump’s favourite toilet!
