London – The history of the monarchy has been marked by conspiracy theories since the middle ages, and it will be no different in the death of Queen Elizabeth, whose cause has not yet been made public and perhaps will never be informed.
On the day of her funeral, Twitter is issuing a warning about the actual fake news about the Queen’s death in England.
Since he died on 8 February, speculation about his cause of death has varied widely, although the benign British media have refrained from touching on the subject.
But conspirators also make up about funerals and burials, encouraging those run by independent fact-checking services or news agencies to refute the fabrications.

Following the fake news on social media, Lead Stories announced that a video allegedly showing the queen’s open coffin was fake.
The funeral urn remained closed for the entire duration of the public exhibition.

The cancellation of any burial, other than the burial, burial or cremation of Queen Elizabeth on September 19, was another topic circulated by conspiracy theory writers.
The Full Fact agency was one of those who denied it.
There is no formal requirement to cancel burials, burials or cremations on the day of the Queen’s burial, although some services are canceled at the request of individual families.https://t.co/30cinBR1fz

Another breakthrough is an image of support for Donald Trump on the banner the Queen used when she received the former president in London.
There is no inscription in the original image, but the authors of the spoof may be fans who do not like that the former president was not invited to the funeral.
Image widely shared on Telegram and Facebook, Queen II. He claims that Elizabeth showed off wearing a “Trump won” sash alongside the former US president. However, the image is digitally altered; the original photo shows the queen wearing a sash without text. https://t.co/OgYfRYD9az pic.twitter.com/LSEw2HVUIX

It was marked by peace, with tributes to the monarch on the streets, a few incidents, and the indulgence of the police, even with a ban on camping in public parks.
But a conspiracy theory used the Queen’s Guard footage to create a fake video with nearly 400,000 views showing a tourist being attacked.
The fact-checking agency Snoopes denied this.
Members of the British Queen’s Guard not only patrol the royal palaces and perform ceremonial duties, they are also fully trained soldiers. https://t.co/NDqdnYCbBe

Even Queen Elizabeth’s corgis couldn’t survive the conspiracy theorists. A Facebook post with photos shows what their arrival in London will be like.
In this case, the photo is real, but taken in 1993 and has nothing to do with the death of the queen or the fate of the animals that will be in the care of her son Andrew.
Anyone rejoicing at the Queen’s death? The most radicals, the royal family and World War II. While she does not forgive Elizabeth for her past of slavery and colonialism, she advocates the end of many anti-monarchist regimes, but shows sympathy for the monarch’s sympathetic figure.
One of the fake videos circulating the networks and part of the Twitter alert is a fake video of Irish people dancing happily.
The AFP statement reports that the video was originally posted on TikTok last January and has nothing to do with the Queen’s death.
