On Sunday morning, UK time, Buckingham Palace issued a statement announcing the Queen's infection with the new crown.
The statement said the Queen had received a third booster injection and had mild cold-like symptoms, but did not affect simple work during quarantine (simple work here refers to remote video meetings).
Immediately after the news was announced, there was a job update on the Queen's calendar page, a letter expressing concern to the people of Brazil who suffered from the flood disaster.
But on the 22nd, the queen canceled the remote video meeting, and the symptoms similar to the cold continued.
Indeed, the Queen is 95 years old and cannot be treated with any physical condition, so it is only natural to cancel her job and recuperate. Who would have thought that rumors would follow.
On the day the Queen canceled her remote work, a social media account in the United States called "Hollywood Unlocked Hollywood" uploaded the Queen's "Death News" on a page with 2.8 million followers, with the headline "Unlock Hollywood Exclusive: The Death of Queen Elizabeth".
The text message read: "Palace insiders have exclusively disclosed to us that Queen Elizabeth has died. She was supposed to attend the wedding of Edward Enninful, the editor-in-chief of the British edition of VOGUE, but was found dead and the news is still being updated. ”
what? British state media have not sent the news, a gossip number got? And then he said that the queen was going to attend the wedding of a fashion person who had little to do with the royal family? Where does this go?

However, Jason Lee, the creator of Unlock Hollywood, was quick to follow up on the push, saying: "We don't post rumors, I will always believe in my sources." Sit back and wait for the official statement from Buckingham Palace. ”
A few hours later, the Unlock Hollywood account posted again, saying that the queen's plan after her death had begun to be implemented, and it was the very famous "Operation London Bridge London Bridge Operation".
In addition to "unlocking Hollywood", another spoof news account on the push also began to spread the news of the queen's death, and also added details that the queen died in her sleep.
So what is the situation with the Queen? Buckingham Palace said in announcing the Queen's cancellation of the video meeting that the Queen was resting well at Windsor Castle, resting on Tuesday after completing a series of work on Monday, and a phone call with Prime Minister Boris had been scheduled on Wednesday.
In addition to confirming the Queen's well-being with the side of "will talk to Boris on the phone", Dayo Okewale, chief of staff of the British House of Lords, also tweeted and attacked the gossip media for spreading fake news.
Between true and false, these "dead news" messages attracted hundreds of thousands of likes and thousands of messages, and some unknown netizens have begun to "mourn".
Other netizens who did not believe it, pushed by Jason Lee, the founder of "Unlock Hollywood", left a message: "The only statement you will get is this: litigation."
Some netizens also released the embarrassing scene that Jason Lee wanted to speak to such a big star as Bishenju when attending a celebrity event, but was ignored by Bishenju: "Even Beyoncé ignores him, the royal family will take care of him? ”。
Some also said sarcastically: "Yes, the Queen of England is the first to tell you when she dies!" ”
After all these years, there has been a lot of news about the Queen's death. Because of her old age, the rumors were like the real thing every time, and once it was the oolong that the official media themselves had done.
Back in 2015, The BBC's senior broadcast journalist Ahmen Khawaja sent the message "Queen has died.
According to her explanation, at that time, she saw the news of the Queen's death in the news room, but she did not realize that it was the regular rehearsal rehearsals within the TV station, which eventually caused a catastrophe, took the news of the Queen's death seriously, and sent it out herself.
In addition to sending "death messages", she also sent the news of the Queen's "admission", which Buckingham Palace later explained was only the Queen's regular check-ups.
Even state media people can do oolong twice in a row, and the way other rumors come out is even stranger.
One day in early December 2019, a screenshot of a chat went viral on the Internet, and a user named Gibbo posted a "notice" in the chat group, saying that the queen died of a heart attack that morning, and said that the official announcement would be made at 9:30 in the morning, and he received a notification from his unit to bring funeral-related clothing and toiletries.
Because of the firm statement and the relationship with the royal army, the recognition of the news is very high, and many people think that the "London Bridge Operation" after the queen's death will officially begin.
But this statement was quickly denied, because this chat group is really a bit "2". First, the group name is "Old Times Old Times", which has nothing to do with the eight poles of the army; second, the head of the group is a big Tintin of an unknown man... This group says the Queen of England has died? Why do you believe it?
However, according to the source of the news, the source of the news is really located in the military base of Samsset, but like the BBC News Oolong mentioned earlier, it is also because the military personnel mistakenly sent the news to others during the exercise, resulting in the rumors snowballing.
The more recent "news" about the queen's death was the period of instability in the queen's physical condition in the past few months. From her admission to the hospital overnight on October 21 last year, to this cancellation of one-day video conference work, the Queen was "killed" several times.
One was last November, when someone on Facebook posted a video of the Queen's death, titled "Breathing Stopped: William Wept Miserably, the Queen died at the age of 95." (Outrageous...) ）
Then there was someone on Facebook this month who posted the status of the queen's death and asked who was next? There is also the "death news" that the US gossip media has said conclusively. (Can you hope for something better...) ）
Queen Be like, 95: "See, I'm not dead yet!" ”
The "London Bridge Operation" was mentioned many times after the Queen's death. Regarding the arrangements before and after the Queen's death, the British royal family, the government, and the military have been preparing for many years. Sister Bao once introduced it in detail for everyone in the video.
Immediately after the Queen's death, Charles will become King, and the Queen's personal secretary will immediately notify the Prime Minister with the anti-eavesdropping security line, saying the code name: London Bridge is down. London Bridge collapsed and the operation officially began.
The day of the Queen's death is known as D-Day, and the Prime Minister will inform both houses as soon as he learns of the news, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for notifying the members of the Commonwealth countries first.
In the face of the public, the news of the Queen's death will inform the world through modern communication methods and traditional black obituary nails to the gates of Buckingham Palace, and the entire official website will turn white, lower the flag at half-mast, and ring the death knell.

In the British media working with the royal family, the blue lights above the studio will be lit, playing sad music, and the announcers will change into black mourning clothes and read obituary and eulogies that have been prepared. All entertainment stops and plays a documentary about the Queen.
Meanwhile, on the first day of the Queen's death, Westminster Abbey is closed to visitors for a thorough cleaning in preparation for the funeral, and Charles will give a speech to the public. On the fourth day after the Queen's death, the coffin moved to Westminster Abbey in the death knell of Big Ben.
The funeral will take place at eleven o'clock in the morning, nine days after the Queen's death, and the Queen's body will be sent to St. George's Church at Windsor Castle to be reunited with her husband and ancestral kings. Operation London Bridge ends.
In the past two years, the queen has not had a good time. Her indisputable son and grandson have brought a lot of turmoil to the royal family, and after the death of her husband, she had to travel on crutches because of sprains, and now she is infected with the new crown and is once again rumored to be "dead".
In this case, the 95-year-old still insisted on the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne, working almost every week without stopping.
After these news and rumors came out, some people said in the message area:
"For some people' 'mild cold symptoms' have little to do with a normal life, but for the elderly it is different.
I hope that the Queen will recover soon and be ready to continue her duties. ”
"The queen is so worried! Rest well Your Majesty. ”
Yes, after all, I am old and sick, and I have lost so much weight recently, even if it is a small illness, it is not easy for the elderly.
I hope that this old man who has experienced thousands of storms will continue to be healthy and healthy!
