In the United Kingdom, flags are at half-mast in some government buildings, claimed one user on X (formerly Twitter) while mentioning that the BBC went “all black again”.
Either King Charles is dead, abdicating or Kate Middleton died, the user claimed. “The streets are saying King Charles is dead?” the user added.
The X user is, however, not the only one claiming so.
“Word on the street being King Charles died on Saint Patrick’s Day?” wrote another user.
Many social media users pointed out that it was Saint Patrick’s Day (March 17), a holiday for Ireland, apparently referring to Princess Diana’s Irish roots.
King Charles was earlier seen leaving Windsor Castle on March 15 just after news came out that his old friend Ian Farquhar had passed away at the king’s Highgrove estate. The monarch looked serious when he was driven to an unknown location.
Charles has been getting treatment for cancer diagnosed during a hospital visit for another reason at The London Clinic. The prostate surgery he had there was not because of cancer, as per the Palace which insists Charles does not have prostate cancer. He has had to stop doing some public work based on his doctors’ advice. However, he does meet UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak every week.
On March 14, he met with the High Commissioner of Jamaica and his wife at Buckingham Palace. Before that, he talked with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on a video call. He also had meetings with the ambassadors from Algeria and Mauritania.
The BBC Events team was reportedly told to be ready for a very important update from the Royal Family “at any time”. So far, it has been speculated that it will be something related to Kate.
