The activities of the British royal family have always attracted significant attention. This time, international media are buzzing about a holiday gathering involving numerous employees of Buckingham Palace. According to "The Sun," it went a bit out of control. Initially, the staff celebrated at the palace, but after the official event, about 50 people moved to the All One bar on Victoria Street.
An incident allegedly involving a palace maid occurred there. According to a source for "The Sun," the woman began smashing glasses and attacking bar staff, leading to a police call.
The group walked in and this one girl just got hysterical. She started smashing glasses and abusing our staff members, so we had to call the police. I’ve never seen one person get that crazy during a night out. She was on another level — recounted a source quoted by the aforementioned outlet.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson confirmed that the incident occurred outside the workplace and announced a thorough investigation. He emphasized that, although it was an informal gathering, appropriate disciplinary actions would be taken.
We are aware of an incident outside the workplace involving a number of Household staff who had previously attended an early evening reception at the Palace.
