女王的家臣突然召开紧急会议,要驾崩了吗?
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. 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. Yesterday, the Queen met with Theresa May at Buckingham Palace to mark the dissolution of Parliament for the General Election. The Prime Minister spent more than 30 minutes at the Palace, in a longer-than-anticipated audience with the Queen. In December, Buckingham Palace was forced to quash rumours of the Queen's death. Speculation was sparked after Her Majesty missed a Christmas Day church service at her Sandringham Estate because of a heavy cold. In the following days rumours began spreading over Twitter, most notably when a fake BBC News account duped scores of people with a fake report of her death. The speculation prompted Buckingham Palace to take the unusual step of commenting on Her Majesty's health, saying the Queen "continues to recover from a heavy cold and will stay indoors to assist with her recovery." |
