Most of those who disseminated the information referred to Buckingham Palace. Some Russian media showed a document allegedly published by Buckingham Palace.

However, the residence’s website contains no information about the monarch’s death. Nor has the British BBC published any reports on the subject.
As it turned out, the screenshot of the document was a fake. The fake information was launched by Russian media, but it is not known for what purpose.
It should be noted that in February, King Charles III of Great Britain was diagnosed with cancer.
He was in hospital for some time, but he always said that he wanted to return to public life as soon as possible.
We would like to add that King Charles III of the United Kingdom began preparations to pass the crown to his heir earlier than expected. Prince William of Wales will take over some of the public duties of King Charles III of Great Britain due to his father’s cancer.
The son of Elizabeth II came to the throne less than a year ago. His coronation took place on 6 May 2023.
