LONDON (Reuters) - A woman who tried to scale the gates of Buckingham Palace, Queen Elizabeth's London residence, has been charged with being drunk and disorderly, police said on Sunday.

 

Jessica Davey, aged 35 of west London, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday, police said.

British police are on high alert after five attacks blamed on terrorism this year.

 

In August a man wielding a sword outside the palace was charged under terrorism laws. Three police officers suffered minor injuries detaining him.
