(Ansa) A Buckingham Palace official told the Associated Press that "there is no reason for concern" related to the summoning of all Royal House staff to the Queen's London residence, anticipated by the Daily Mail.
Buckingham Palace convened on Thursday morning an “emergency meeting” of all the personnel of the royal family scattered in the various residences of the country: the initiative, defined by various sources as "very unusual", could concern an imminent announcement on the queen herself or on her consort, Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, who in June he will be 96 years old.
The Daily Mail tabloid reports it in its online edition. The meeting was convened by the Lord Chamberlain, the most senior official of the Royal Household, and by His Majesty's right-hand man, the private secretary Sir Christopher Geidt, writes the newspaper. "Although meetings involving all real staff are convened from time to time, the way this was handled, at the last minute, is highly unusual and suggests there is something important to communicate." a source said. The reasons for the meeting are shrouded in mystery: the newspaper only underlines that all the staff of the royal residences – even that of Balmoral Castle in Scotland – have been summoned to London.
