Queen Calls All Of Her Servants To 'Highly Unusual' Staff Meeting

Queen Elizabeth II called servants from Royal residences across the country to Buckingham Palace earlier today, for a 'highly unusual' staff meeting.

Staff will be addressed by the most senior officer of the Royal household - Lord Chamberlain - and the Queen's private secretary, Sir Christopher Geidt, according to the Daily Mail.

The meeting was initially said to be held at 8am, but later reports have stated it will be at 10am. Mystery surrounds what the meeting will be about.

Speculation about the possible death of Prince Phillip began on social media shortly after the meeting was announced.

However, the flag is not flying at half-mast in photographs of the Palace taken earlier today. The flag would be lowered if a member of the Royal family died.

Following on from the speculation, the Palace released a statement to the BBC saying the meeting was not 'a cause for concern'.

Royal correspondent Peter Hunt said the meeting is not about the health of either the Queen of the Duke of Edinburgh.

There has also been speculation the Queen may be announcing her abdication, however, that seems unlikely, because in the past her Majesty has always said she would serve her country for as long as she lives.
