A maid at Buckingham Palace was arrested for causing a drunken fight during the office holiday party.

Buckingham Palace has been thrust into the spotlight as an investigation has been launched following a chaotic Christmas party that ended with a staff member being arrested. The incident took place on Tuesday evening at a bar in Victoria, just a short stroll from the palace, where things took a violent turn during what was supposed to be a festive celebration.

According to reports, the London Metropolitan Police were called to the scene after a 24-year-old woman, who has not been named, was arrested for common assault, criminal damage, and being under the influence of alcohol. It is believed that the woman, who works as a maid at the palace, was out with approximately 50 other employees at the time, as reported by The Sun.

Witnesses say the woman caused a disturbance by breaking glasses and getting into a physical altercation with a member of the bar staff. She was then taken into custody and spent the rest of the night and the following day in a cell. The incident has raised concerns within the palace management, who have announced that they will be looking into the matter and taking appropriate disciplinary action.

A spokesperson for the palace explained to the BBC that the incident occurred after an informal gathering that was not an official Christmas party, but rather a reception held earlier in the evening at the palace. They also clarified that the post-reception drinks at the bar were not organized by the palace. However, the spokesperson assured that a thorough investigation will take place and any necessary steps will be taken.

A representative from London's Metropolitan Police also confirmed the incident in an email to CNN, stating that they were called to the bar at 9:21 pm on Tuesday after receiving reports of a customer causing a disturbance and attempting to assault a staff member. The 24-year-old woman was taken into custody and later released with a penalty notice for disorder.

In the midst of all this, a well-known musician had to cancel a show after his airline refused to accommodate his priceless cello. It seems like things are not going smoothly at the palace lately.
