So early Thursday morning, rumours started flying around the internet that Buckingham Palace had called an emergency staff meeting .

Soon #BuckinghamPalace, "The Queen", "Prince Philip", "Prince Charles" and "Royal Family" were all trending on Twitter, and people were wildly speculating about what the meeting might be for.

Needless to say, most of the suggestions weren't entirely serious.
