Possible, though the Queen has always said she would not abdicate, but would continue to serve while she still had breath.

Finally been told about Brexit.

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.

 

There is no cause for alarm about the welfare of Queen Elizabeth or her husband Prince Philip, a well-placed source told Reuters on Thursday.

 

The comments came amid intense speculation about after all senior royal staff were summoned to a meeting at Buckingham Palace in London today.

 

"There's no cause for alarm," the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.

I wouldn't have thought so, you'll need a tyre lever to get her off the throne.

[daveAustin]

The most likely I think.

The Queen will never abdicate so that's not it. She made an oath to the people and God (if you're into that kind of thing) and will be on the throne until her last day.

 

If anything major were to happen health wise, my first thought would be Phillip.

[Luckysilk]

Won't we feel stupid when the meeting is to do with their WhatsAPP chat not working.

Sounds serious so maybe something has happened to one of the Corgis.

Maybe the Queen just wants to say a personal thank you to all her staff - before age may render her unable to do so.

it's to do with painting the living room at Buck Palace in purple or mauve; i vote mauve.

There would be no need for such urgency , if it was just an abdication 

An abdication would have been planned in advance

And then Queen Elizabeth would play Queen Mum back a few steps on the balcony behind Camilla.  Can't see that happening. Probably a corgi went missing or a need to economize on household expenses.

No cause for alarm about Queen Elizabeth, Philip after royal staff called to meeting - source

LONDON (Reuters) - There is no cause for alarm about the welfare of Queen Elizabeth or her husband Prince Philip after all senior royal staff were summoned to a meeting at Buckingham Palace on Thursday, a well-placed source told Reuters.

 

The Daily Mail newspaper had reported that senior aides from across the country had been called to the palace for an emergency meeting, leading to wide speculation on social media about the health of the royals.

 

"There's no cause for alarm," the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Reuters.

 

The queen, the world's longest-reigning living monarch celebrated her 91st birthday in April. Philip turns 96 next month.

 

Elizabeth met Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday to formally agree to the dissolution of parliament ahead of June's election while Philip opened a new stand at Lord's Cricket Ground in central London.

 

The Mail reported that the royal staff would be addressed by the Lord Chamberlain, the most senior officer of the Royal Household, and the queen's private secretary Sir Christopher Geidt. The BBC said the meeting would take place at 10 a.m. (0900 GMT).

 

Buckingham Palace had no comment on the Mail report but the source said such all-staff meetings did occur occasionally. There was no detail about what the meeting would address.

 

Elizabeth ascended to the throne in 1952 and polls show she remains hugely popular among Britons. She and Philip are due to celebrate their platinum, or 70th, wedding anniversary in November.

 

Despite their age, the couple continue to carry out hundreds of official duties although they have cut back on their workload in recent years, passing on many responsibilities to son and heir Prince Charles, and grandsons, Princes William and Harry.

 

The queen missed a traditional Christmas church service last year for the first time in decades due to a heavy cold and was hospitalised in March 2013 with symptoms of gastroenteritis, the first time she had needed hospital treatment in a decade.

 

While her father, George VI, died at 56, her mother lived until 101 and was still appearing in public almost up until her death in 2002.

 

Philip underwent "an exploratory operation following abdominal investigations" in 2013.

 

He was also hospitalised for a bladder infection during the queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations the year before, and spent Christmas 2011 in hospital where he underwent an operation to clear a blocked heart artery after suffering chest pains.

Going to pay off half the staff.

Because of the fall of the value of the pound the family is now worth only 42 quadrillion quid.

The use of the word "emergency", in the original "story", seems to have done the trick.

 

And it was the Daily Mail "what did it".

 

Vivat Regina.
