King Charles' Death Accidentally Announced by U.K. Radio Station in Awkward Gaffe

A radio station in the UK is coming under fire for accidentally broadcasting the death of a monarch, an emergency protocol in place for King Charles III, due to a major computer glitch.

The Independent station called Radio Caroline mistakenly triggered the emergency broadcast routine from its Essex studio.

The 77-year-old monarch was unharmed and alive, carrying out an official royal visit in Northern Ireland at the time of this incident, alongside Queen Camilla.

The station was playing the song What's Up by 4 Non Blondes when the music suddenly stopped. An automated pre-recorded message aired stating: 'We have suspended our normal programs until further notice as a mark of formal respect following the passing of his majesty King Charles III.'
