<p>The alleged incident took place outside a London bar near Buckingham Palace and left two royal footmen requiring hospital treatment, the Daily Mail reported.</p>
<p>A Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokeswoman confirmed three guardsmen were being investigated by the Metropolitan Police following an incident on Friday July 24.</p>
<p>The Coldstream Guards, recognised by their red jackets and black bearskin hats, have a ceremonial role as protectors of Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.</p>
<p>The altercation was said to have happened outside the Greenwood Sports Pub on Victoria Street – about 800m from the palace – as a group of royal footmen were attending leaving drinks.</p>
<p>A source told the Daily Mail that a “bit of banter” developed between the footmen and a group of about four soldiers outside the bar around 11.45pm.</p>
<p>However, it escalated when a guardsman “grabbed hold” of one of the female footmen, resulting in a male footman stepping in to stop him.</p>
<p>“All of a sudden it was a full-scale punch-up. And the soldiers were more used to fighting than the footmen are. They got quite badly injured,” the source claimed.</p>
<p>One 20-year-old man suffered a fractured eye-socket, while another had a fractured jaw and required stitches in his tongue, the source told the paper.</p>
<p>Two other footmen were said to have been less seriously injured.</p>
<p>An MoD spokeswoman said: “We can confirm that three guards are being investigated by the Met police following the incident in London on July 24.”</p>
<p>The Coldstream Guards are the oldest continuously serving regiment in the British Army and is based at Victoria Barracks in Windsor, west of London.</p>
<p>It is primarily an infantry unit, but is well known for its high profile ceremonial duties.</p>
<p>The Met has been contacted for comment.</p>
