- Radio Caroline, a radio station broadcasting across the south of England and the Midlands, mistakenly announced the death of King Charles.
- The erroneous announcement was attributed to a 'computer error' that accidentally activated a pre-prepared 'Death of a Monarch procedure'.
- Following the announcement, the broadcast ceased for 15 minutes before hosts returned to issue an on-air apology for the confusion.
- Station manager Peter Moore later issued a formal apology on Facebook to His Majesty the King and listeners for any distress caused.
- King Charles is alive and well, having recently visited Belfast with Queen Camilla and resumed public engagements following treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.
