Queen Elizabeth II has been plagued by various death rumors and reports since then. But, the recent headlines have caused "panic" and confusion among the public as many believed the rumors are true.

Earlier this week, a screenshot of a Whatsapp conversation that was said to be from the queen's royal guards circulated all over the media. In it, it was stated that the queen has passed away on Sunday morning, which will be made public by Monday morning.

The conversation also included a warning for the royal guards to prepare for two-week ceremonies. So, it included a list of things that they should have for the supposed "send-off."

According to Harper's Bazaar, the screenshots immediately caught the attention of many. While the palace did not bat an eye at first, some royal fans and supporters are certain that the reports are bogus.

Even so, many have remained skeptic about the matter. Accordingly, it became a huge deal for everyone.

It is worth noting that the emergence of these rumors happened right before Queen Elizabeth II's hosting of the NATO Summit in Buckingham Palace. Fortunately, there were media officials in the reception that captured the overall status and condition of the queen.

As seen in the photos and videos, Queen Elizabeth II is alive and well. Along with the rest of the senior members of the royal family, they welcomed and greeted several world leaders.

Once the queen's condition was confirmed, it was the only time when the royal officials released a statement revealing that the death rumors are nothing but, false claims. Although no further details were given to the public, fans and supporters got the majority of the answers that they need.

However, several individuals were left in total wonder where the reported Whatsapp conversation came from.

As revealed by The Guardian, as well as by other reputed publications, the Royal Navy broke their silence about the issue. It was shared that it was supposed to be a "military drill," which they always do in the field.

It was also explained that the military staff at RNAS Yeovilton has been participating in the said drill. A source further contended that it was all part of "recall procedures" for the massive operation called "London Bridge," which is a codename for when Queen Elizabeth II dies.

With these things at hand, the officials stated that one member of the squad may have probably or "accidentally" thought of the drill as a "true thing," which resulted in the forwarding of the message outside the Royal Navy.
