Twitter mocks Queen Elizabeth II’s fake news death rumours
Thanks to fake news, Twitter on Monday exploded with reports of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
According to a report by Perth Now, the rumour began to trend after a screenshot emerged on Twitter claiming that the British monarch had suffered a fatal heart attack.
Royal Central’s Chief Editor, Charlie Proctor, however, dispelled the reports and announced that the Queen is perfectly fine.
“The Queen is not dead. She is alive & well and is very much looking forward to hosting President Trump and other world leaders at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday for the NATO reception,” he said in a tweet.
I see we have reached that time of year where I have to dispel rumours of HM’s passing.
The Queen is not dead. She is alive & well and is very much looking forward to hosting President Trump and other world leaders at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday for the NATO reception.

With confirmation that the Queen is, in fact, alive, the rumour instead turned into a running joke on Twitter.
