Speculation amongst
Buckingham Palace staff was rampant last night as the Queen’s most
senior aides called her entire household to an emergency meeting today.
Servants
from royal residences across the country have been ordered to London
and will be addressed this morning by the Lord Chamberlain, the most
senior officer of the Royal Household, as well as Her Majesty’s
right-hand man, Private Secretary Sir Christopher Geidt.
Even
her longest serving staff were left in the dark about why the meeting
was being called but multiple sources said it was ‘highly unusual’ and
had sparked fevered talk about an imminent announcement concerning the
monarch or her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
‘Everyone is on tenterhooks,’ said one.
‘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.
‘But at the moment, only those closest to her genuinely know what on earth this is all about.’
