Radio Caroline, a radio station broadcasting in England, made a false announcement about King Charles's death due to a technical malfunction. This announcement caused brief confusion and panic in the country. Station manager Peter Moore explained that the error originated from a computer failure at the main studio in eastern Essex and that the 'Sovereign's Death' procedure, intended only for emergencies, was accidentally triggered. The broadcast was immediately stopped, and the radio fell silent. Management apologized to both King Charles and the listeners. This incident once again brought sensitivities regarding the royal family in England to the forefront.
