As rumours swept the world today about the health of Prince Philip, the palace has reportedly moved to quash rumours that the Queen's husband has passed away.
According to a report published by the New Zealand Herald, a palace press officer has told the newspaper that the Prince is alive and well.
'You could safely assume the Queen and Prince Philip are not dead,' the palace rep was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
The speculation followed news that the Queen’s entire household has been called to an emergency meeting today, amidst talk that a “historic announcement” will be made regarding the monarch’s husband Prince Philip.
According to reports, servants from royal residences across the UK have been ordered to London and are expected to be addressed by the Lord Chamberlain, and Her Majesty’s right-hand man, Private Secretary Sir Christopher Geidt.
