In Buckingham Palace decided to fight alcoholism

In Buckingham Palace organized a training seminar on alcoholism in the workplace. According to the charity Alcohol Change UK, the course was held for staff at King Charles III's main official residence.

The head of the organization Richard Piper said that during the meetings, conscious consumption of alcohol was discussed. Particular attention was paid to the so-called “gray zone” of use – a condition in which people drink excessively, without having a pronounced physical dependence.

Representatives of the royal court refused to give official comments to the publication. However, the newspaper claims the initiative was part of an effort to modernise the palace's working environment.

Over the past year, 17 specialists in the provision of psychological first aid in the workplace have been admitted to the residency. In addition, in November last year, a survey was conducted among staff to assess satisfaction with working conditions.

The results of the study have not been made public. The press service of the palace only noted that the data provided valuable information about the real experience of employees. This will help identify specific steps and challenges for the future.
