It all began shortly following the United Kingdom and other Western countries criticized Vladimir Putin’s “victory” in what they believe was a “rigged” presidential election.
“British King Charles III has died, reports Buckingham Palace. The son of Elizabeth II ascended the throne less than a year ago – the coronation took place on May 6, 2023. He was 75 years old,” the Mash media first reported, according to The Mirror.
The British embassy quickly published a denial on social networks. “The news concerning the death of King Charles III is false”, we can read in particular on X.
The official Russian news agency TASS then said the news was false, followed by the Kremlin newspaper, Rossiyskaya Gazetawritten by Putin’s government, which also ultimately refuted the news, according to The Mirror.
“King Charles III continues to carry out his work and private affairs,” Buckingham Palace said. Previously, many Telegram channels published false and unverified information regarding the death of the monarch,” the Russian newspaper wrote.
This rumor concerning the royal family is added to the long list that has been circulating on social networks for several weeks. The health problems of the king and princess Kate Middleton are raising the most absurd speculations on the web.
The princess would be dead, she would be having an abortion, the king would abdicate the throne to his son… we are all impatiently awaiting answers from the British government like the sequel to our favorite TV series.
