A UK radio station has issued an apology after mistakenly broadcasting an announcement claiming that King Charles III had died.
The incident occurred when an automated emergency broadcast system was accidentally activated, triggering a pre-recorded message intended for use only in the event of a monarch’s death. The message briefly aired before staff identified the error and returned the station to normal programming.
The station later confirmed that the announcement was false and not based on any verified information. It apologized to listeners for the confusion caused by the technical mistake.
King Charles III is alive and continues to carry out his official duties. The station says it is reviewing its systems to prevent a similar error in the future.
