British radio station Radio Caroline mistakenly reported the death of King Charles III of Great Britain on air, according to The Independent.
As reported, after broadcasting the false news, the radio station went off air for 15 minutes. The hosts later returned to the air and apologized to listeners for the incident.
According to the radio station, the announcement was due to a "computer error." Radio Caroline had prepared a special program in advance in the event of the monarch's death, but it was aired accidentally.
Radio station boss Peter Moore also apologised on social media to Charles III and listeners for the error.
Charles III ascended the British throne on September 8, 2022, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who reigned the country for the longest time in British history – 70 years and 7 months.
The coronation ceremony of Charles III took place on 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey in London.
