“We would like to inform you that the news about the death of King Charles III is false,” the British Embassy in Ukraine said on the X platform (formerly Twitter) on Monday. The British mission in Russia also wrote that the reports were false.
The false news of his death spread initially on Monday afternoon in the Russian-speaking part of the Internet, fueled by Telegram channels that specialize in sensational reporting. As evidence, a facsimile of a supposed communication from Buckingham Palace was shown. The online editions of Russian tabloid media also picked up the news before it was exposed as a fake. “Now it is known that the screenshot was false and the king is alive,” wrote the Mash channel.
The British royal family is currently constantly confronted with rumors and conspiracy theories. Charles is being treated for cancer, but continues to run state affairs and has already been photographed doing so.
