THE QUEEN IS ALIVE Makwarela who is a fan of Queen Elizabeth and often tweets about the royal family was in actual fact tweeting about the queen's death hoax.
The queen of England - Queen Elizabeth tested positive for coronavirus and became a victim of a viral death hoax started by an American blogger.
Eonline confirmed yesterday that Queen Elizabeth II held not one but two virtual meetings with foreign ambassadors on March 1.
Hollywood Unlocked also claimed the Queen had died at the age of 95 on 22 February.
A senior royal source said she's alive while the website's founder and CEO stood by his reporting.
He stated:
Regarding the Queen Elizabeth story Jason Lee, who told Buzzfeed News he heard the news from a guest at the wedding of British Vogue editor in chief Edward Enninful, wrote on Instagram.
1. I've never lied. 2. I've never been wrong. 3. I trust my sources. 4. I have yet to see an official statement from the palace saying otherwise.
Hollywood Unlocked released a since-deleted tweet that read:
Our deepest apologies goes out to the #RoyalFamily and all involved in this embarrassing situation.
