Brittihovi denied the baseless claims to the Russian state news agency Tassi.
On Monday, fake news started spreading in the Russian media, according to which the King of Britain Charles75, would be dead.
British newspaper of the Guardian according to the Russian social media, the prestigious financial magazine Vedomosti, which belongs to the Russian mainstream media, and the pro-Kremlin Telegram channel Readovka, which is followed by more than two million users, also published the claim on their own Telegram channel.
The spreaders of the fake news did not seem to have any concrete evidence for their claim. Neither the British Court nor the country’s public broadcaster BBC had reported anything about the king’s condition. The only source for the information appears to be an apparently forged document modeled after the British Queen, according to the Guardian Elizabeth’s based on the death announcement.
According to the Guardian, the Russian newspaper Gazeta also reported on Twitter, but soon added to the message that the information is probably not true. In the end, the British court denied the rumors to the Russian state news agency For the cup.
– We are happy to say that the king continues to fulfill his work obligations and take care of his private affairs, Tassi was told.
British newspaper The Daily Mail according to the British Embassy in Moscow had also denied the claim.
Catherine’s health also speaks for itself
The Russian fake news came at a time when the health of the members of the royal family is being paid an extraordinary amount of attention.
King Charles’s health condition has been on the back burner since Hovi told about the king’s cancer diagnosis at the beginning of February. The public has not been told more detailed information about what kind of cancer Charles is suffering from.
Due to his diagnosis, Charles temporarily gave up his representative duties.
Among the members of the royal family, the Princess of Wales, who is recovering from surgery, has also attracted attention Catherine’s health, especially after the family was caught publishing an edited photo on social media in March.
Independent magazine said on Monday that the princess seen outdoors is expected to tell the public about her health soon. Catherine is expected to return to her representative duties in April.
