AKIPRESS.COM - A meeting of household staff called at Buckingham Palace is not a cause for concern, the BBCunderstands.

The BBC's royal correspondent Peter Hunt understands the meeting is not about the health of either the Queen or Duke of Edinburgh.

Officials at the palace have not said what this morning's meeting, reported to involve all senior staff from across the UK, is about.

Such internal royal meetings usually happen about once a year.

Thursday's meeting will take place at 10:00 BST.

It comes after the Queen and Prince Philip fulfilled official duties on Wednesday.
