Moments after Manchester United revealed new photographs of Cristiano Ronaldo in the team’s Jersey on September 1, 2021, a rumor quickly spread on social media suggesting that Queen Elizabeth II had asked for Ronaldo’s autograph after she placed an order for 80 jerseys:
This somehow, doesn’t seem to be a genuine news story. This is because the above-displayed tweet, which racked up more than 10,000 likes within hours of its posting, was later deleted and replaced with a message stating: “We could not confirm the veracity of the note from the Queen and CR7 so we decided to delete the tweet. Apologies.”
This tells evidently that the queen of England did not order 80 jerseys, and she did not ask for Ronaldo’s autograph.
But this did not stop the rumor from spreading. A number of accounts picked up on the false rumor and repeated it as if it were true.
For one, there’s no credible source for the information stating that the Queen really asked Ronaldo to sign Jerseys.
The account that started this rumor has deleted the message and replaced it with a note of apology.
This leaves the trending news story to be false.
However, this is what has been gathered so far and Everydaynewsgh is still digging for new developments. Although information gathered so far tells evidently the story is false, there could be some justification to what’s trending.
