Buckinghamsku palaču pogodila je najezda miševa zbog čega je kraljica navodno iselila, a u pomoć je pozvan odjel za dezinsekciju i deratizaciju, prenosi britanski Dailymail. Problem s glodavcima navodno je ozbiljnije shvaćen nakon što se kuhinjsko osoblje požalilo na njihovu pojavu u kuhinji. The Sun piše da su stručnjaci istražili problematična područja u palači i postavili otrov, no više od toga nisu mogli učiniti. Kako tvrdi izvor, neki zaposlenici navikli su viđati male smeđe miševe u palači, a ovaj se problem teško može izbjeći. Naime, miševi su česta pojava u starim zgradama u Londonu, a sanitarno osoblje zabrinuto je zbog vjerojatnosti da su miševi postali imuni na otrov.

The ceremony of Trooping the Colour is believed to have first been performed during the reign of King Charles II. In 1748, it was decided that the parade would be used to mark the official birthday of the Sovereign. More than 600 guardsmen and cavalry make up the parade, a celebration of the Sovereign's official birthday, although the Queen's actual birthday is on 21 April. / AFP PHOTO / Daniel LEAL-OLIVAS
Međutim, kraljevski dvor nije jedino mjesto pogođeno najezdom ovih glodavaca. Ranije ove godine stanovnici Eaton trga, koji je nekoliko kilometara udaljen od Buckinghamske palače, žalili su se na invaziju štakora.
