Buckingham Palace Responds After Royal Family Maid Is Arrested at "Out of Control" Christmas Party

Kate Middleton wears a long red coat as she attends the Christmas Carol concert and King Charles smiles next to a Christmas tree in Buckingham Palace.

If you assumed that working for the Royal Family would be a strictly professional affair, you'd apparently be mistaken. According to multiple reports, this year's Christmas party for Buckingham Palace staff got a little out of hand and even led to one person getting arrested.

After having pre-party drinks at Buckingham Palace, approximately fifty staff members attended a planned party at the venue All Bar One in London, per The Sun. It reportedly didn't take much time for the party to get entirely "out of control," however, with the outlet reporting, "A woman believed to be a housemaid aimed a punch at the manager, smashed glasses and was arrested." A source told the outlet that the party had been "a tough night" for all concerned.
