| 'King Charles is NOT dead': British embassy in Moscow issues furious denial after Russian media shared fake Buckingham Palace statement claiming Monarch 'passed away unexpectedly yesterday afternoon' |
| 2024-03-19 |
| The British embassy in Moscow was today forced to give an official statement confirming King Charles III is still alive after Russian media claimed he had died. A host of Russian news sites and their associated social media accounts reported earlier today that the King had died aged 75 as a result of cancer complications, citing unnamed 'media' sources in an inexplicable stream of posts. It came as an image of a clearly fake statement from 'Buckingham Palace' reporting Charles' 'unexpected death' was circulated on social media. 'King Charles III of Great Britain has died at the age of 75, according to media reports,' Russian newswire Sputnik reported. 'There is no information about this on the royal family website or in the British media.' Minutes later their stories were updated after they were forced to climb down following reports the King was in fact not dead. |
