Bookmaker Coral has said it has stopped taking bets on the Queen announcing she will abdicate during her speech on Christmas Day.
Coral's PR team claims it took "a rush of bets around midday" which it said was "very unusual" and "instantly set alarm bells ringing".
It alleges that one bet of £200 was placed online, another of £100 was taken at the Liverpool Street branch in London and another number of smaller bets had been placed too - Coral said it had offered odds of 10-1.
We have taken no more than six bets as far as we're aware - it is possible there are further bets placed in shop[s] that we are not yet aware of, although this is highly unlikely - and were it to happen it would only cost a few thousand pounds, certainly less than £10,000.
