King Charles III probably woke up on Monday and thought this is going to be a great week! But it has turned out to be shitty.
His Royal Highness took a trip to Newcastle yesterday, and he was greeted by his subjects, those who walk and those who fly. One of the ones who fly decided to give the King some good luck, as in, a seagull shit on him.
Luckily, it landed on the back of his jacket, and as he told someone who told him about it, “At least it didn’t land on my head.”
While the British Monarch had a good sense of humor about that, I don’t think he will be laughing at the second bad thing that happened to him. Radio Caroline announced his death. However, he is still alive.
In the words of the 4 Non Blondes song that they cut off, “What’s going on?”
To hear the announcement and read their explanation and apology, then
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.
Caroline has been pleased to broadcast Her Majesty the Queen’s, and now the King’s, Christmas Message and we hope to do so for many years to come.
We apologise to HM the King and to our listeners for any distress caused.
Peter Moore, Station Manager
What else could go wrong for him? Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ask to move back in with him?
