Radio Caroline Accidentally Announces King’s Death | Annapolis News
Description
A British radio station accidentally broadcast a prerecorded announcement claiming King Charles III had died—thanks to an employee messing with files. The error, caught by Ofcom, went uncorrected for 30 minutes before the station finally fixed it. The monarch, 77 and very much alive, has been open about his cancer treatment and plans to scale back duties by late 2025. Radio Caroline apologized, reprimanded the staffer, and moved sensitive files off-air to prevent future disasters.
