A United Kingdom-based radio station, Radio Caroline, has apologised after mistakenly announcing the death of King Charles III due to what it described as a computer error.
According to a report by The Guardian, the false announcement was aired on Tuesday afternoon from the station’s main studio in Essex, England.
The station’s manager, Peter Moore, disclosed the incident in a Facebook post, explaining that an emergency protocol prepared for the eventual death of a monarch was mistakenly activated.
“Due to a computer error at our main studio, the Death of a Monarch procedure, which all UK stations hold in readiness while hoping not to require, was accidentally activated on Tuesday afternoon (19 May), mistakenly announcing that HM the King had passed away,” Moore wrote.
