The Royal Family has been the target of Russian disinformation.
Pro-Kremlin trolls have claimed that King Charles sold his royal residence of Highgrove House to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a whopping £20 million.
A YouTube report was circulated by a fake British news outlet called ‘The London Crier’, as well as a number of bots in other languages.
It was even shared by the official Russian Embassy account on X.
The report featured a real-estate professional who claimed to be the selling agent.
It appeared to be AI generated.
It also featured a phoney interview with the King’s former butler, Grant Harold.
Harold’s spokeswoman commented on the story, saying it was ‘completely false’ and that ‘Grant has made no comment on this.’
Kyiv also refuted the story, claiming that the allegations are ‘fake’.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
