On Tuesday afternoon, British Radio Caroline announced the shocking news of the death of King Charles III. The huge mistake was caused by a computer error, writes the portal. The radio station subsequently apologized.
“Due to a computer error in our main studio, the Death of a Monarch protocol was inadvertently activated on Tuesday afternoon (May 19), which all UK stations have in reserve and hope they won’t need it. By mistake it was announced that His Majesty the King had died,” station manager Peter Moore wrote on Facebook.
Caroline’s radio then went silent, just as protocol requires, which alerted staff, who resumed broadcasting and apologized on the air. “We apologize to His Majesty the King and our listeners for any upset caused,” Moore said.
The incident happened while the royal couple were in Northern Ireland, where they joined a folk group. Charles III. and Kamila they also watched dancers and drank Irish whiskey in Belfast’s Titanic Quarter during the first day of their trip.
