Buckingham Palace Maid Arrested After Drunken Brawl at Christmas Party

A Buckingham Palace maid was arrested this week after an alleged outburst following a staff Christmas party, which saw glasses and punches thrown in a London bar.

Incident Details

According to a report in The Sun, as many as 50 royal servants gathered for an after-party following drinks at the palace on Tuesday. The maid, 24, reportedly took a swing at a bar manager, threw glasses, and was ultimately arrested for common assault, criminal damage, and being drunk and disorderly. She was released after 24 hours with a fine.

Eyewitness Account

“The group walked in and this one girl just got hysterical,” a source told The Sun. “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.”

Buckingham Palace Response

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson commented, “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. While this was an informal social gathering, not an official palace Christmas party, the facts will be fully investigated, with a robust disciplinary process followed in relation to individual staff and appropriate action taken.”
