Rumors of British Royal Family Deaths Debunked Amidst Misleading Social Media Posts

Speculation fueled by old images and false claims regarding the Union Flag at Buckingham Palace has been clarified by multiple fact-checking organizations.

Recent social media posts falsely claimed the Union Flag was at half-mast over Buckingham Palace, suggesting the deaths of King Charles III or Kate Middleton.
The image circulating was actually taken in September 2022, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and has no connection to current royal family members.
Fact-checking agencies have debunked the rumors, confirming both King Charles III and the Princess of Wales have been seen in public recently.
Misleading posts have exploited old images from 2022 and 2017 to fuel baseless speculation about the royal family's health and potential announcements.
Authorities and fact-checkers urge the public to verify images and information before sharing, highlighting the spread of misinformation online.
