But how could such an important and secret file leak? Palast employees are shocked by this situation; after all, they have to keep private things secret.

The aim now is to find out how the documents were made public, who passed them on to the press and, above all, who is behind this matter. The staff are very upset about the incident, the
Daily Mail
reported. "It is deeply disturbing that such private information, which is not only very personal to the Queen, but also has far-reaching security implications, has been revealed," a royal source told the
Mirror
portal
.
Which version of the documents has now been published could restrict the Royals employees in their search for the suspect, because different employees have access to a wide variety of papers. "We will look at which version emerged and be able to determine if this breach of duty warrants a formal government investigation," said a cabinet office source.
Cabinet Secretary Simon Case, who previously worked for Prince William, will announce next week whether there will be a punishment against the accused and to what extent it will be, the portal
The Mirror is
sure.
