I see an American Gossip site is claiming the Queen is dead.
Though it has been ridiculed.

The Queen is alive – contrary to what a popular gossip blog in the US claimed yesterday.
Hollywood Unlocked sent shockwaves across the internet with an ‘exclusive’ story that said the Queen is dead.
The idea that this website, of all publications, would persuade a palace insider to exclusively reveal such a monumental story should already raise a few eyebrows.
Since going viral the story has been widely debunked online, but Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee is standing by it.
He tweeted: ‘We don’t post lies and I always stand by my sources. Waiting for an official statement from the palace.’
Some people may have taken it at face value, but others were quick to rip the article to shreds over its questionable wording.
Firstly, it cites sources close to the ‘Royal Kingdom’ – which we’d expect someone with such great connections in Buckingham Palace to know isn’t a thing.

Far from it, I was simply showing you what some Americans are thinking, as said at the top it has been ridiculed. The second link of the original report says. Why is it clickbait? it has been posted on a US website and I am simply showing what has been posted.
Sources close to the Royal Kingdom notified us exclusively that Queen Elizabeth has passed away. She was scheduled to attend the wedding of British Vogue editor Edward Enninful, but was found dead.The Buckingham Palace announced on Sunday that The Queen had tested positive for coronavirus. They said at the time that Queen Elizabeth who was celebrating her 70th year on the throne — was “experiencing mild cold-like symptoms” but was expected “to continue light duties at Windsor over the coming week,” the palace said.
However, this Tuesday, she also canceled her planned virtual engagements as she continued to suffer from the “mild Covid-19 symptoms.” No further details surrounding her death have been shared. She was 95 years old.
We will continue to keep you updated as this story develops…

I don't she the problem? The website claim is true. HM Queen Elizabeth is indeed dead.
Though it's hardly an "Exclusive" given she's been dead for several hundred years...
QEII on the other hand, last I heard, is still alive.

It's a Chancer headline - when a 95 year old woman catches a respiratory disease, you've half a chance of being right.
If you aren't - no body cares because you're a cheap rag anyway.
If you guess right, then you can bask in your "scoop".
