Conspiracy theory ties Prince’s death to Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday
The passing of musician Prince due to an accidental fentanyl overdose had no correlation to Queen Elizabeth II.
However, amidst the flurry of queen memes following her demise, a baseless conspiracy theory emerged linking the American artist's death to the British monarch's birthday.
On social media, an Instagram video propagated this unfounded claim, beginning with a screenshot of Queen Elizabeth II's birthdate, April 21, 1926.
It then transitioned to another screenshot displaying Prince's death date, April 21, 2016.
The video featured a man asserting that Prince was sacrificed for the Queen's 90th birthday.
Dismissing skeptics, he vehemently criticized those who considered it a mere game.
Nevertheless, there is absolutely no evidence to support the notion that Prince's untimely demise was a “sacrifice” or part of any larger conspiracy involving Queen Elizabeth II.
Prince, whose birth name was Prince Rogers Nelson, tragically passed away at the age of 57.
He was found unresponsive at his Paisley Park estate in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
Experts later determined that he unknowingly consumed counterfeit Vicodin laced with the highly potent synthetic opioid, fentanyl.
While Prince's death unfolded in the United States, Queen Elizabeth II was celebrating her 90th birthday across the Atlantic in Windsor, England, where she warmly greeted well-wishers.
No evidence exists to suggest any connection between these two events, and the individual in the Instagram video fails to provide any substantial support for his claim other than highlighting the coincidence of their shared date.
In light of the lack of evidence, we categorize this claim as utterly false.
