But how did the rumour start?

At 1 a.m. Thursday, the MailOnlinepublished the online version of an article that appears on the print edition of the Daily Mail about an emergency meeting called by the Lord Chamberlain, the Queen's most senior officer of the Royal Household.

The story was immediately picked up by fringe media in the U.S., France and Canada.
