Us Weekly Debunks Rumors About Buckingham Palace Flags Flying Half-Mast


Despite recent rumors, the Buckingham Palace flags are not flying half-mast

As conspiracy theories about Princess Kate Middleton ’s wellbeing continue surfacing online, some social media users have claimed that the Union Jack (the national flag of the United Kingdom) has been lowered to half-mast above Buckingham Palace. Generally, flags are lowered to half-mast to signify significant events in the nation, which often include the death of a leader, a tragedy or to show respect during a solemn occasion. One of the biggest royal scandals in recent memory came when King Charles III and the late Princess Diana announced their separation in 1992 after 10 years of marriage.
