    Would that necessitate an "emergency" meeting though?

    It's an emergency meeting of servants and staff. It's about their job. Maybe the head of staff is retiring. Maybe standards are slipping.

    Anything else would be communicated to downing Street and then to the BBC. Then to the world.

    You need to read a fascinating article in The Guardian recently about "London Bridge Has Fallen".

    Exactly. Informing staff about death, sickness or retirement isn't protocol.

    But why an "emergency" meeting? Surely a routine meeting or a briefing of staff or something like that would do.

    Emergency means what is says on the tin, an emergency.

    Something's up!

    Read the guardian article. This isn't the way significant information is released. Unless it's totally changed.


    I'm sure something is up that effects the staff of the royal family.

    Also an emergency meeting isn't a meeting about an emergency. It's just a non scheduled meeting.

    A bunch of them have probably been made redundant. Bloody Brexit.

    There's 10 jobs being kept for 100 workers so they're arranging a Hunger Games to decide who stays. BBC3 will have full nightly coverage.

    You don't need to watch a mediocre film, London has Fallen. It will just about do if its a rainy afternoon or you're a massive Gerard Butler fan.

    I was hoping it was an emergency meeting to have Theresa and Boris put into the Tower, however it turns out that the real reason is the Queen's briefing staff on a Buckingham Palace refurbishment project.

    The amount of hype and speculation in the media was a bit overkill!

    In all seriousness, this is probably the most likely thing. With Liz getting on in years, being less active, and the grandkids being more cosmopolitan and self-sufficient than royals in years gone by, they probably have twice the amount of staff they really need.

    The Sun put up a placeholder article in expectation of Prince Philip having died, but accidentially published it. The headline is now the top result on Google 😂

    Meaning he's dead and they've replaced him with a cardboard cutout so the queen can draw two pensions.
