Emergency Meeting at Buckingham Palace

[tandino]

QUEEN Elizabeth II’s entire staff from across the United Kingdom has been summoned to an emergency meeting at Buckingham Palace in London today, according to reports.

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

The meeting, called suddenly and described as highly unusual by royal watchers, has sent Britain’s rumour mill into a concerned frenzy.

All sorts of rumours bouncing around the internet etc.

Very very worrying.

God Save The Queen.

Protocol says that the BBC will announce the news, and as of now they have not broadcast any notification about the meeting. Something very unusual is afoot.

Unusual yes, no argument

Fwiw, flag is still flying as per norm at buck house (assuming media linked right photo)

They're going to let us know simultaneously if she has died. The flag will move with the alert.

 

[Bennett.]

I wonder what he or she might have died from..

 

[LeverPuller]

Still no word. Odd.

 

[LeverPuller]

Not even a placeholder article related to the announcement. On one hand odd, but perhaps its a respect thing - only announce when there is something to announce.

Probably. ABC24 just went with the 'no cause for alarm' reports.

Coudl it be to do with some irregularity with the upcoming election perhaps?

Don't know why they'd call officials in from Balmoral for that

No cause for alarm.

 

[Cooldude]

They've discovered overnight that Nigel Farage is a giant douche

Told ya. But watch them today, queen will be grumpy and phil will walk without a limp....

 

[Maggie5]

My guess she is passing the baton to Charles.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Nah prince Phil is stepping down from public life

 

[QuietB]

War with France?

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Saw "Prince is stepping down" and went "Charles is whaaaat?!". Turns out his dad is just going to stop cutting ribbons. Who gives a s**t.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Phil the Greek doesn't want to reveal more plaques

 

[JackOutback]

Has all the hallmarks of a Prince Philip prank, minus the racism. Was probably told it was time to stand down and thought, 'notify the staff at 3am and see how many front pages I can * up'.

 

[scoman]

Was fun to watch the media in a fap trying to get in first with the news. Live crosses, speculation, jumping sharks, updates that weren't updates at all, lengthy articles on what if scenarios.

Hillarious. I read Tracey Grimshaw got mixed up in the race to deliver the news when it funally broke and anounced the Queen had abdicated.

 

[Maggie5]

Liked his tag line, ''had to stand down as I could no longer stand up''. LOL

 

[ep2018]

Anyone else find it weird how this news couldn't have waited until the morning, so the staff didn't have to travel over at 3am?
