'King Charles is NOT dead': Ukraine's British embassy issues furious denial after Russian media...

King Charles

The British embassy in Ukraine had to release an official statement today to refute the false information that King Charles III had passed away, which had been reported by Russian media.

Today, numerous Russian news websites and their related social media accounts posted an unexplained series of messages, stating that the King had passed away at 75 years old due to complications from cancer. The sources for these reports were not specified.

A fake message claiming that Charles had passed away was shared on social media, and it included an image supposedly from 'Buckingham Palace'.

According to reports from Sputnik, the King of Great Britain, Charles III, passed away at 75 years old.

The official website of the royal family or the news channels in the UK haven't mentioned anything about it.

After a brief period of time, their accounts were revised as they were compelled to descend due to reports indicating that the King was actually alive.

The British Embassy in Kyiv recently posted a sudden message on social media stating that the reports regarding the demise of King Charles III are not true.

Many Russian news websites and their affiliated social media profiles announced earlier today that the monarch had passed away at the age of 75.

The British embassy in Ukraine had to release an official statement today to clarify that King Charles III is still alive despite Russian media spreading rumors of his death.

Gazeta.ru tweeted out a message that spread false information about the death of Charles.

Today's announcement of the counterfeit palace stated that the unexpected and sudden passing of the King transpired yesterday afternoon.

A few well-known sources shared false information, but it is uncertain if their mistake was accidental or if Vladimir Putin's campaign was responsible for spreading it.

After receiving backlash in the United Kingdom and other Western nations for Vladimir Putin's "win" in a fixed presidential election, a dangerous act featuring the ruler was performed.

On the Telegram channel of the British embassy, a statement in the Russian language was released to confirm that the rumors were not true.

The news claiming that King Charles III of Great Britain had passed away are not true, according to a statement released soon after the British Embassy in Ukraine issued a similar notice.

Initially, some media sources such as RIA, Sputnik, Readkovka and Mash that hold strong pro-Putin views published a false statement. However, they later amended their stories.

According to the news source Mash, Buckingham Palace has announced that King Charles III of Great Britain has passed away. The son of Queen Elizabeth II became king just under a year ago and was crowned on May 6th, 2023. He was 75 years old at the time of his death.

The blog post now indicates that the message in question was not genuine. Additionally, it reminds readers that the person in question was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago.

However, the news organization later declared: 'The false information regarding Charles III's passing rapidly disseminated and was promptly exposed as untrue.

According to Buckingham Palace, the monarch of the United Kingdom is still alive and active in his duties.

Even Maria Zakharova, who is the spokeswoman for the Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, also weighed in on the argument by posting that "London appears pitiful."

Initially, RIA, Sputnik, Readkovka, and Mash disseminated a fabricated story, but these media sources, which openly support Putin, later rectified the inaccuracies.

One of the initial Russian media portals to publish a false statement regarding the passing of King Charles III was a media outlet known to have ties with the Kremlin and is in support of military actions, Readovka.

Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman for Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, has also joined in on the controversy, describing London as appearing pitiful.

The BAZA media, which supports the Kremlin, has shared news that King Charles III of Britain has passed away. They are claiming that this information was released by Buckingham Palace through an official document.

The image of the notification regarding the demise of Charles III was discovered to be fraudulent.

The false announcement of the palace is from today and reported: 'Yesterday afternoon, the King died unexpectedly.'

According to the news source Meduza, several media outlets and Telegram channels made a false report about the passing of King Charles III of Britain, based on a fabricated statement released by Buckingham Palace.

The BAZA Telegram channel gave a screenshot of the statement that was used as a source for the news.

The royal family has not published this statement on their website or any of their social media accounts.

The Russian state news organization RIA Novosti made a correction to their previous article and acknowledged that it was founded on unfounded information. They stated that Buckingham Palace's press service refuted RIA Novosti's unverified speculations regarding the passing of King Charles III.

He carries on with both his formal and personal responsibilities.

Some Russian sources have shared news about Charles' passing a while back. This news was apparently based on a message that was believed to have come from Buckingham Palace. However, it has since been discovered that this message was a forgery.

According to TASS, the news report was not true.

The government-controlled newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta, which is owned by Putin's administration, reported that Buckingham Palace confirmed King Charles III is still performing his royal duties and managing his personal affairs.

In the past, numerous Telegram channels disseminated unconfirmed and incorrect details regarding the monarch's demise.

Buckingham Palace has been contacted for comment by MailOnline.
