Fake Russian News Claims King ‘Sold Highgrove House’ to Ukrainian President

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’.

  4. Not a privately owned residence; it goes with the Duchy of Cornwall – who is now Prince William. Still, Russia always was sloppy with truth!

  9. No idea if Russia really began this rumor, but that is the King's favorite house.
    He has all of his organic holdings in the way of vegetable gardens, livestock and
    flower gardens there.
    That would be the last place he would give up.

  21. Is this from the same Russian news outlet that claimed King Charles had died, a couple of weeks ago? If so, all I can say is Kudos to King Charles for being able to sell a property that belongs to the Duchy of Cornwall, while being dead.

  25. If it was said in Russian, it does not mean that such news came from this country. Anyone in any country could have fabricated such a thing. There are a lot of Russian speakers in the world, Ukrainians, Georgians and so on speak Russian. So would it be better to check for yourself first and find out the true source of this before blaming Russia, or was that the goal?! So how do you all differ from fake news then

  26. The only thing that is true in some news is the date, even that is technically wrong in a newspaper as is printed the evening before and often available that evening, the day before the date.

  29. How does one privatize a Royal Residence? Making State visits to the open to public Royal Residence

    How does one commonplace an open to the public Royal Residence?
    Timing based on what is celebrated given the month

  32. 😂😂😂 obviously Russian news doesn’t know the king very well Highgrove house is where King Charles feels happy, relaxed and it’s his home 😂😂 any British person knows that 😂😂😂

  40. As if Russian propagandists are the only nonsense-producing outlets and we don't have an abundance of it too. 😂😂 SPARE us! This does not warrant any attention whatsoever.

  45. I remember seeing a documentary on Highgrove and how King Charles transformed it into a very beautiful estate today.
    So why would Russia think that he would sell Highgrove
