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’.
