The Queen's royal staff have reportedly been called from across the UK to an emergency meeting at Buckingham Palace but the BBC says the meeting is not about the health of the Queen or her husband, Prince Philip.

The news of the meeting, from "sources", has sent the internet into meltdown as the monarch's aides and team members from as far as Balmoral in Scotland to her Sandringham Estate in Norfolk and Windsor Castle head to the city residence for a meeting mid-morning.

The BBC reported the meeting was not believed to be a cause for concern and such meetings happened about once a year. BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt said he understood the meeting was not about the health of the Queen or the Duke of Edinburgh.

According to the Daily Mail, the staff will be addressed by the most senior officer of the royal household, Lord Chamberlain, and the Queen's private secretary, Sir Christopher Geidt.
