Queen Elizabeth II passed away on Sept 8 at the age of 96. Her son, King Charles III, was officially proclaimed the country’s monarch on Sept. 10.
Social media is full of news related to new rules and powers the new monarch is practicing.
Similarly, a piece of news along with a picture of the king where he can be seen signing a document is around social media claiming that King Charles III signs a proclamation stating that Donald Trump won the 2020 Presidential election and is the rightful President by Law.
A Twitter user writes, “King Charles III signs a proclamation stating that Donald Trump won the 2020 Presidential election and is the rightful President by Law. Warns Biden and Kamala to vacate the premises within 48 hours or a state of war will exist between America and England.”
Fact Check:
The picture used in the post shows Charles signing a document during his accession ceremony at St. James’s Palace, where he was formally proclaimed as monarch of the U.K
Neither in that event nor in any media briefings such a statement was given by the king.
Conclusion:
The claim by social media users is fake.
Claim Review: King Charles III said Trump won the election and is the rightful President by Law.
Claimed by: social media users
