OT Queen's most senior aides 'call ALL royal staff into emergency meeting at Buckingham Palace'

[SlyPokerDog]

The entire royal household staff has been called into an emergency meeting at Buckingham Palace today, it has been reported.

The Queen's most senior aides reportedly ordered all staff from royal residences across the country to London, sparking frenzied speculation as to the reason behind the sudden request.

According to the Daily Mail , the employees will be addressed this morning by the Lord Chamberlain, the most senior officer of the Royal Household , and Her Majesty’s right-hand man, Private Secretary Sir Christopher Geidt.

Meetings involving the entire household staff are occasionally called, but one such as this at the eleventh hour is "highly unusual" a source told the Mail.

...

As the news emerged, speculation was rife on social media that an announcement regarding the Queen or Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh , could be imminent.

...

Staff from royal residences further afield, such as Balmoral in Scotland, as well as those closer to London, including Windsor Castle and Sandringham have all been asked to attend suggesting the announcement will also affect them.

Mirror Online has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.

I'm falling asleep. Now it's just a question of whether or not I can stay awake for this.

I'm guessing that the Queen is going to step down and hand the monarchy over to Charles or William.

A young King and Queen would be a huge boost to Britain right now.

She is only a figure head for the country. The real power lies in the hands of the Prime Minister.

Prince Philip to step down from carrying out royal engagements

The Duke of Edinburgh is retiring from royal duties this autumn, Buckingham Palace has announced.

The decision was made by Prince Philip himself and is supported by the Queen, a palace spokesman said.

The duke, who turns 96 next month, will attend previously scheduled engagements between now and August but will not accept new invitations.

The Queen "will continue to carry out a full programme of official engagements", the palace said.

What duties did he have at 96? To not crap his pants in public?

Obviously, he failed if they're sending him out to pasture.

The man was fighting Nazis before Pearl Harbor was bombed. I'd say he's probably earned a retirement.
