It's been an eventful year for the British royal family so far. From King Charles's cancer diagnosis in February to the viral conspiracy theories about a "missing" Kate Middleton's whereabouts, the royals have been subject to a lot of online scrutiny lately.
Now — following a recent bizarre twist in which the Princess of Wales took responsibility for a "manipulated" family photo shared online — rumors are swirling that the BBC has been primed to expect a "major announcement" from the royal family in the coming days.
Though neither the BBC nor the royal family have confirmed the claims, which originated on social media, #RoyalAnnouncement is trending on X — and users are, naturally, responding to the latest development with even more jokes and speculation.
Some think the Kate Middleton plot is thickening even further, others reckon King Charles has died. Perhaps the rumors are false, and there's no impending announcement at all — but the memes are still funny.

It’s very funny that the Crown ended a year before the IRL Royal Family just PISSED through plot like it was a season of a Shonda show

I'm reading about Nostradamus's prophecies right now. I'm fully locked in.

Apparently Nostradamus predicted in 1555 that a future British king's rule would be cut short by a health setback and that he would be replaced by someone unexpected. 👀https://t.co/tZs3LGrRDk pic.twitter.com/ToyxBgx95T

If Charles ain't dead, he will hear about all the preemptive celebrating, and that's enough for me.
