Come on Beeb, I have to leave for work in a few mins! Should I take a black tie or not?

There'll be a staff meeting at Buckingham Palace this morning. It's not to do with the health of either the Queen or Prince Philip.

Damn, really thought the Prince had died for a second there. So, it was nothing then?

It'll be for the funeral arrangements!
Dun dun duuuun
I'm joking
Queen you're a babe.
Only if it's called during the night.
It was an all-hands about the current amount of Malteasers in a bag.

I figured it'd be nothing but then why would several media outlets be setting up outside Buckingham Palace? Unless they got caught up in the rumours or something.

I bet the BFG visited last night.
Yes chum
And it's an all-hands-on-deck meeting at that. There's something definitely odd about it.
I imagine it's nothing of interest, there are local elections today and Parliament was closed until the General Election yesterday, so they probably won't announce something like the Queen abdicating or other such dramatic news.
The only thing you would be forced to announce is a death, but we'd definitely know if one of the more prominent royals had died by now.
I haven't seen anything to suggest there will even be an announcement. It's weird to call the meeting during the night but it doesn't necessarily affect something we care about.

I'm only just spitballing here. You can't deny there is something highly unusual about how this has gone so far.

If it's not the health of Elizabeth or Phillip then how serious can it be.

Couple that with the US governments EU warning and you've peaked my interest.

Apparently the Queen's secretary is due to make an announcement.

It's now on Good Morning Britain on ITV - they're speculating away.

According to HuffPost, immediately.

Hmm. Yeah I'm thinking some serious shit went down but they might just be remaining tight-lipped about it. Wouldn't be surprised to see a megaton announcement drop tomorrow or something.
Is it confirmed the press gathered outside? Is that verified?
Saw four press vans with satellites on top when that guy was periscoping outside the palace.

There is literally nothing on the news with regards to this. Almost all the news organisations here have a dedicated Royal correspondent and any news at all would be clearly prominent vs it's current leading headlines, which at the moment is focused on the French election debates (I am unaware if political reporting today has been restricted due to today's local elections - it seems to be at the moment).
If there was any rumours, we would hear about it.

The Queen discovered several thousand casks of wildfire beneath the Palace and wants to know what the fuck's up
What would the royals have to announce that would be "megaton" worthy?
"We've decided to take part in running the country again"?
Glorified tourist traps don't drop megatons.

Some bloke on ITV just said he expects an announcement at 10.

They just said on ITV there'll be an announcement at 10am. No one dead, but may have constitutional implications - but not massive massive.
Of course they were guessing.
BBC Breakfast still talking about men with eating disorders, no mention of it.
No mention on Sky News either.

She was having a Star wars marathon starting from midnight, got about half way through Episode 2 at 3AM and called an emergency meeting to declare war on Lucas.

Maybe they flipped over the Magna Carta and found page 2.
