@mosheh: A radio station in the United Kingdom apologized to King Charles III and its listeners after mistakenly announcing the King's death on Tuesday. "This is Radio Caroline. His Majesty King Charles III has passed away," the station said on Tuesday afternoon. "As a sign of respect, we will now be playing appropriate continuous music until further notice." The station then played the British national anthem, "God Save The King." The station manager said in statement: “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." “Radio Caroline then fell silent as would be required, which alerted us to restore programming and issue an on-air apology,” he continued. Established in 1964, Radio Caroline broadcasts in multiple countries and is available online worldwide. King Charles, who announced treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer in 2024, was visiting Belfast, Northern Ireland, with Queen Camilla on Tuesday. The Royal Family has not responded to the error. Sources: @cnn, @bbc, @enews Image: @gettyimages
