Question

King Charles died on March 17th

Answer 1

This claim is false. It is important to ensure that the information is coming from a credible source. Following my research, it is clear that this information is wrong. After the information was published it quickly circulated which is harmful, especially considering the implications of political influence of an important figure.

Hey, I like how you actually looked at more credible sources over TikToks. While these tiktoks are clearly false, they have the chance to spread farther then the truth does sometimes.

I really liked that you looked for a more credibly source and were straight to the point.

---

I like your answer, however, I feel like you would have a more substantial fact-check answer if you could explain or elaborate more on why King Charles is still alive.

---

Credible sources are a good idea when fact-checking!

---

Nice job consulting a more credible source. Tiktoks are normally used to spread false information with the hopes of creating drama and media traction.

---

Great check! I like how you used two sources to prove this claim was false while still being concise.

This is most definitely fake news. I have found numerous claims such as these originating from TikTok with wildly preposterous claims that have no real substance behind them. While King Charles has been diagnosed with Cancer, he is very much stilll alive.

Answer 2

This claim is false. The information is coming from a TikTok with no real evidence to back it up. King Charles III is still alive, and there are no current reports he has passed away. He is being treated for cancer currently, but he has not died.

Answer 3

This claim is false, King Charles is not dead. The Royal Family nor any representatives have publicly announced the death of King Charles. This rumor sparked after a Russian news outlet released a statement on March 18 claiming to be from royal communications, stating, "The following announcement is made by royal communications. The King passed away unexpectedly yesterday afternoon.” However, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the King was still alive in a statement, reading, "We are happy to confirm that The King is continuing with official and private business.” King Charles has been recently diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing treatments (BBC).

Answer 4

The provided claim/source is false and completely exaggerated. Often TikTok creators will create misleading content to engage viewers in exchange for money and views. King Charles is not dead, it's better to report inaccurate content as it can be harmful.

This TikTok is false news because there are only conspiracies and no concrete evidence to prove that he died, also he is still alive. https://www.vulture.com/article/king-charles-alive-death-rumors.html

Answer 10

This claim is false. TikTok needs to be factchecked since anyone can upload a video of a claim of anything, including this. According to this article posted by The Guardian, the King is still alive and by a much a more reliable source.
