X user (formerly Twitter) @TomValentinoo made a post regarding the Royal Family. It states, “The British royal family has stated that there is a major event that will be announced at any moment now, and #BBC reported that the announcement will be “huge” and “very important.” It is believed that the upcoming announcement will be related to the absence of #KateMiddleton, the wife of the heir apparent after she disappeared from public view for nearly three months amid rumors that she is deceased.”
