In a video the trio stated it was heartbreaking taking the lambs, which they named Sammy, Sunny, and Sooty, from mums.
They stated the sheep have been left with specialists to take care of them.
The ladies drove to Windsor Fort and posed with banners saying “I rescued the King’s sheep”.
They then handed themselves in to police.
Patterson, 33, was amongst activists held over protests at April’s Grand Nationwide.
Animal Rising stated: “We will affirm the animals haven’t been returned to the farmer, or launched into the wild.
“They’re secure and with animal specialists who will take care of them and permit them to stay fortunately.”
Police are understood to be nonetheless trying to find the lambs.
In 2018 Sandringham introduced in a sheep flock to enhance the soil.
Its web site says its farms produce grass-fed lamb for the onsite restaurant, café and native butcher.
