Queen’s entire staff called to emergency meeting at Buckingham Palace

Queen Elizabeth II’s entire staff from all around the United Kingdom have been summoned to a highly unusual emergency meeting at Buckingham Palace.

Staff will be addressed by the Royal Household’s most senior office Lord Chamberlain and Her Majesty’s Private Secretary Sir Christopher Geidt in just hours.

The meeting was called suddenly at 3am local time (12pm AEST) and described as highly unusual by royal watchers.

It has sent Britain’s rumour mill into a frenzy, with speculation that the announcement has to do with either the Queen or her husband Prince Philip’s health.

The Mirror reports that even the most trusted staff do not know what the meeting will be about.

“Although meetings involving the entire royal household are occasionally called, the way this has been done at the eleventh hour is highly unusual and suggests that there is something major to be disseminated,” Mail Online reported.

Buckingham Palace has declined to comment.

More to come.
