Staff at the Historic Royal Palaces, including Hampton Court Palace and Kensington Palace, staged a walkout, donning the high-visibility yellow vests worn by demonstrators in France. “Young employees will lose money with this new scheme,” Theresa, an HRP employee approaching retirement, told AFP. Determined to make themselves heard, they gathered outside the Tower of London, brandishing placards reading: “Defending our pensions”.
