King Charles made his cancer public earlier this year.
Russian media has now even declared the British monarch dead.
London – The health of King Charles III.
(75) has been causing speculation for weeks.
At the beginning of February, the British monarch made his cancer public.
However, the palace is keeping how serious it is and what type it is a secret.
However, both surprising and shocking news was now making the rounds in Russia: King Charles is said to have died.
“Died unexpectedly”: Russian media announces death of King Charles III.
What happens if King Charles dies is said to have already been laid out in a plan called “Operation Menai Bridge”.
According to Russian media, this is already in full swing.
First, according to bild.de,
the Russian news service Mash announced
on Telegram on Monday (March 18): “The British King Charles III.
has died, reports Buckingham Palace.
Elizabeth II's son ascended the throne less than a year ago - the coronation took place on May 6, 2023.
He was 75 years old.”
The news spread like wildfire in Russian-language media.
A cheaply faked image of a Buckingham Palace obituary also circulated online.
“The king died unexpectedly yesterday afternoon,” it says.
The alleged death news quickly reached social media.
On X, formerly Twitter, the tag “King Charles” became the “number 1 trend in Germany” within a few hours.

“We are pleased to confirm that the king is continuing his official and private business,” he told the Russian state news agency TASS.
